This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: I would like to create custom post statuses. I would also like to show custom icons on the front-end of the site that visually represent each post status.
Solution: Toolset does not currently provide the ability to create custom post statuses, so custom code or another plugin will be required.
You can use Bootstrap's glyphicons and conditional HTML to display different icons based on the post status. Here's an example:
[wpv-conditional if="( '[wpv-post-status]' eq 'pending' )"] <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-hourglass" aria-hidden="true"></span> [/wpv-conditional] [wpv-conditional if="( '[wpv-post-status]' eq 'draft' )"] <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-pencil" aria-hidden="true"></span> [/wpv-conditional]

Hello!
Is there any easy feature to add "New custom post statuses" for custom posts?
Also I need somehow to mark more visually post statuses on every custom post layout on the frontend (textual, by graphic icon or similar)? Please give me some suggestion how can I add in layouts visual mark for post status...
Another question, I need that "Delete" link be visible only for pending status, so how to put a conditional output for such option in my view table?
Thanks in advance for an answer,
Sinisa

Toolset does not offer this feature, so another plugin or custom code will be required.

You can use the shortcode wpv-post-status to add a specific CSS class to some HTML element, and target that class to set a different background image. Something like this in the HTML tab of a Visual Editor cell:
Post status: <div class="status status-[wpv-post-status]"></div>
Then in CSS:
.status {
height: 100px;
width: 100px;
}
.status.status-publish {
background-image: 'path/to/publish-image.png';
}
.status.status-pending {
background-image: 'path/to/pending-image.png';
}
.status.status-draft {
background-image: 'path/to/draft-image.png';
}
Another question, I need that "Delete" link be visible only for pending status, so how to put a conditional output for such option in my view table?
You can use the "conditional output" button to build this conditional code. In the popup, choose "Views shortcodes" and select wpv-post-status. Type "pending" in the value field. See the screenshot.
