[Resolved] Radio type options not showing in custom fields

I am trying to: propose radio type custom field in a custom field group.

I visited this URL:

I expected to see: to see the radio options to select

Instead, I got: only the title of the custom field group and no radio buttons to click.

I found a workaround in changing the source code at types/library/toolset/toolset-common/toolset-forms/classes/class.radios.php on line 81 from

$options = apply_filters( 'wpt_field_options', $options, $title, 'select' );

to

$options = apply_filters( 'wpt_field_options', $options, $title, 'radios' );

Is there another way to avoid the changes in the source code?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Dirk,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

Would you mind providing me with a screenshot of the issue so that I can have a look at the issue?

Thanks,
Shane

Hey Shane,
thanks for your reply. I will provide 4 screenshots. 2 called "originals" showing the result without the workaround, missing the radio buttons under the custom field group title. The other 2 "with_workaround" showing the clickable options of the radio field as well.

Thanks again.

Hi Dirk,

Thank you for the screenshots.

However i'm not able to replicate the problem on a fresh install using our latest types plugins.

Are you currently running Types version 2.2.13?

Please let me know.

Thanks,
Shane

Hey Shane,

thanks! This is good to know and brought me to an explication. I used the filter hook "wpt_field_options" to populate select fields with values from another CPT. Like this:

//### Populate Types select field with another CPT ###*/
function add_some_options($options, $title, $type) {

            if ($type == 'select'){
                $options = array();
            // Add Promt Text
            $prompt_from[] = array(
                '#value' => 0,
                '#title' => 'Sélectionnez le père'
            );
            $prompt_to[] = array(
                '#value' => 0,
                '#title' => 'Sélectionnez la mère'
            );
 
            // Counter
            $i = 1;
 
            // The Père Query
            $pere_args = array (
                'post_type' => 'notre-chien',
                'tax_query' => array(
                    array(
                        'taxonomy' => 'categorie-chien',
                        'field'    => 'id',
                        'terms'    => 18,
                    ),
                ),
                'orderby' => 'menu_order',
                'order'   => 'ASC',
                'posts_per_page' => -1,
 
            );
            $peres = get_posts( $pere_args );
 
            // Peres Loop
            foreach ($peres as $pere) {
 
                $pere_options[] = array(
                '#value' => $pere->ID,
                '#title' => $pere->post_title
                );
            }
 
            // Blank Option to Seperate
            $blank[] = array(
                '#value' => -1,
                '#title' => ''
            );
 
            // The Mère Query
            $mere_args = array (
                'post_type' => 'notre-chien',
                'tax_query' => array(
                    array(
                        'taxonomy' => 'categorie-chien',
                        'field'    => 'id',
                        'terms'    => 20,
                    ),
                ),
                'orderby' => 'menu_order',
                'order'   => 'ASC',
                'posts_per_page' => -1,
 
            );
            $meres = get_posts( $mere_args );
            
            // The  Loop
            foreach ($meres as $mere) {
 
                $mere_options[] = array(
                '#value' => $mere->ID,
                '#title' => $mere->post_title
                );
            }
 
           // Assign To The Select Fields
            switch( $title ) {
                case 'Père':
                    $options = array_merge(
                        $prompt_from,
                        $pere_options
                        
                    );
                break;
 
                case 'Mère':
                    $options = array_merge(
                        $prompt_to,
                        $mere_options
                       
                    );
                break;
            }
            }
            return $options;
            wp_reset_postdata();
    }
add_filter( 'wpt_field_options', 'add_some_options', 10, 3);

As the $type argument in the "apply_filters" is set to "select" in class.radios.php and class.select.php I got this result with the radio fields. I am really sorry to have overseen this.

I read another thread in the forum which said that this filter hook works for select and radio fields (https://toolset.com/forums/topic/wpt_field_options-multiple-select/), therefore I haven't hesitated to use it as I did.

Actually I use Types version 2.2.13.

Thanks a lot!
