Radio Button

hey mark,

maybe i’m missing something, but after i enabled this plugin and select it in a new custom field, i don’t see any visible “select option”. i assume it is supposed to look similar to the drop-down list? thanks. i’ve attached a grab of what i’m seeing in the cp.

Try the new version (1.0.2) and see if that fixes this.

worked like a charm, thanks mark.

hey mark,

this is kind of a little thing, but is it possible to have one of the radio buttons selected as default. perhaps as simple as the first one listed? thanks again for another very useful extension.

I’ll look into adding this functionality. I am little hesitant because unless I can build a preference to turn off the preselection I’m sure some people would not apprecieate this.

Anyways, if you’d like to alter the file yourself, just find the following lines and make the necesary changes:

// -- Find This
$select = ($item == $field_data) ? true : false;
// -- Change to This
$select = ($item == $field_data || ($field_data == '' && $key==0)) ? true : false;

// -- Find This
$select = ($entry["entry_id"] == $field_data) ? true : false;
// -- Change to This
$select = ($entry["entry_id"] == $field_data || ($field_data == '' && $key==0)) ? true : false;

That’s off the top of my head though, so let me know if this works.

bingo, works as advertised.

I just spotted a bug.

If you choose to make a custom field a radio button before you choose none as the formatting option it adds tags automatically.

It’s still adding paragraph tags automatically so this is my EE code -

{if matting_lip == "Yes" OR matting_lip == "No"}<li>Lip?: {matting_lip}</li>{/if}
{if matting_type == "Smooth" OR matting_type == "Spiked"}<li>Type: {matting_type}</li>{/if}

and I get this -

<li>Lip?: Yes</li>
<li>Type: Spiked</li>

I’m not a PHP wizard so I wouldn’t know how to edit any of this.

Over to you Mark!!

PS. I’m using the latest version of Radio Ext and Version 1.6 Build 20070627 of EE.

If I’m correct, there is a plugin Mark has written that strips the <p> tags … its called strip_p or so. That or any other plugin removing html code might work as a workaround?
