      Hello,

      I have updated to the newest 0.9.4.1 version of Piklist, and I have now a problem with my radio fields of the setting pages.

      On the previous versions, the radio field was returning a string, like ‘option1’, ‘option2’, etc.
      string(7) "option1"

      Now, it’s returning an array with the string as the first argument! Example:
      array(1) { [0]=> string(7) "option1" }

      Could you fix this issue?

      Thank you for your great job 🙂

      Can you post some more information? If possible please post the radio field code and how you are pulling the data from the system.

      Thanks,

      Kevin

      Here my radio field code:

      <?php
/*
Title: My Plugin
Setting: my_plugin_settings
Tab Order: 10
*/

piklist('field', array(
	'type' => 'radio'
	,'field' => 'display_type'
	,'label' => 'List display'
	,'value' => 'grid'
	,'choices' => array(
		'grid' => 'Grid'
		,'list' => 'List'
		,'quicksand' => 'jQuery Quicksand'
	)
));

      And I use somewhere else in my plugin this variable to call the value:
      $my_plugin_settings['display_type']

      This variable was returning a string before the update, like 'grid', 'list' or 'quicksand'.
      Now I get an array, like array { [0]=> "list" }

      Thank you

      How are you loading data into $my_plugin_settings is what I need to know. Are you using get_post_meta or the piklist function or something else?

      Thanks,

      Kevin

      I do not use any function, do I have to?

      For example, I use:

      if ( $my_plugin_settings['display_type'] == 'grid' ) {
   ...do some stuff...
}

      @exacks44– To pull settings from the database you need to use something like get_option.

      $my_plugin_settings = get_option('my_plugin_settings');

      Then you can do the conditional check against “grid”.

      Are you using get_option?

      Actually, I use $my_plugin_settings = get_option('my_plugin_settings');

      I explain again my problem, because I think there is a misunderstanding:

      My plugin was working without any trouble until the last version of Piklist. My problem is not how to load data, my problem is that the new version of Piklist is now returning an array instead of a string for radio fields.

      With version 0.9.3.6:
      var_dump( $my_plugin_settings['a_radio_field'] )
      returns
      string(4) "grid"

      With version 0.9.4 (and version 0.9.4.1):
      var_dump( $my_plugin_settings['a_radio_field'] )
      returns
      array(1) { [0]=> string(4) "grid" }
