To filter based on custom field, you'll still have to use the <code>posts_where</code> hook, in addition to <code>posts_join</code>. You'll need to join with the postsmeta table on the post ID and the custom field name. The <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search-everything/" rel="nofollow">Search Everything</a> plugin has code that provides searching in metadata that might be enlightening. Thanks John, glad you like it!

To clarify my last comment, I mean something like: only show posts that contain a certain custom field? Great tutorials, by the way! I enjoy your site very much! Sorry for the double comment.

I've started something and will hopefully publish it in the next few days. Thanks for the tip! Yep, I noticed that last week when I finally got around to installing 2.5.

An update would be good for this particular post as WordPress 2.5 changed the location of the <code>restrict_manage_posts</code> action to back inside the form so there is no need for adding your own (and when set up correctly you can also filter in combination with the other filters). For an example you can look at my plugin which uses it (and incidentally falls back to the old method for 2.3.x installs). Great series and will be useful for plugin authors!

Whether you do it with <code>posts_where</code> or with one of the hooks described on the Codex (<a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Query_Overview" rel="nofollow">here</a> and <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Custom_Queries" rel="nofollow">here</a>) shouldn't matter.

If, instead, you wanted to use a search field (assuming that the custom column contained custom strings), would you still use "posts_where"? Edward, this is great.
