    Hi Steven –

    I’ve created a radio button group in a custom metabox on the Add/Edit entry page.

        $identifyingAtts = array(
        'title'    => 'Identifying Information',         // Change this to a name which applies to your project.
        'id'       => 'identifying_information',           // Change this so it is unique to you project.
        'context'  => 'normal',
        'priority' => 'core',
        'fields'   => array(
            array(
                'name' => 'Death Classification',
                'show_label' => TRUE,
                'id' => 'death_classification_radio_group',
                'type' => 'radio_inline',
                'options' => array(
                    'line_of_duty_death' => 'Line of Duty Death',
                    'performance_of_duty_death' => 'Performance of Duty Death',
                    'military_service_death' => 'Military Service Death',
                ),
            ),
        ),
    );

    cnMetaboxAPI::add( $identifyingAtts );

    The radio button group is displayed fine in the metabox & I’m able to properly store a selection from that radio group in each entry. I’m having a hard time displaying the value of the selected radio button on the SlimPlus template.

    The only data that is returned to me is the “key” (line_of_duty_death, performance_of_duty_death, and military_service_death) of the selected item. I can’t get the value portion of the radio button group (id = deat_classification_radio_group).

    Any idea how I could modify the way that I’m retrieving the meta-data for an entry to display the value of the radio button? (not the key)

    In template override I pull the meta data for the radio button group like so:

    $deathClassification = $entry->getMeta(
    array(
        'key'    => 'death_classification_radio_group',
        'single' => TRUE
    )
);

    @ Brittany

    Sounds like it working perfectly, you should receive the key name of the radio option that was chosen. You template code should be something like this:

    $deathClassificationOptions = array(
    'line_of_duty_death'        => 'Line of Duty Death',
    'performance_of_duty_death' => 'Performance of Duty Death',
    'military_service_death'    => 'Military Service Death',
);

$deathClassification = $entry->getMeta(
    array(
        'key'    => 'death_classification_radio_group',
        'single' => TRUE
    )
);

if ( in_array( $deathClassification, $deathClassificationOptions ) ) {

    echo esc_html( $deathClassificationOptions[ $deathClassification ] );
}

    Hope that helps!

    That solved it. Thank you! was also able to add some custom code to import the key of the radio button needing to be selected for different entries when using the CSV importer.
