Hello.

I need to Create form containing radio buttons with Pieforms.

I tried this code. I looked at the code on Pieform's reference.

```

$pieform_elements = array(
'login' => array(
'type' => 'fieldset',
'legend' => get_string('login'),
'elements' => array(
'login_username' => array(
'type' => 'radio',
'title' => get_string('username'),
'description' => get_string('usernamedesc'),
'help' => get_string('usernamehelp'),
'rules' => array(
'required' => true
)
),
'login_password' => array(
'type' => 'password',
'title' => get_string('password'),
'description' => get_string('passworddesc'),
'help' => get_string('passwordhelp'),
'value' => '',
'rules' => array(
'required' => true
)
)
)
),
'submit' => array(
'type' => 'submit',
'value' => get_string('login'),
'class' => 'btn-primary'
)
);

$form = pieform(array(
'name' => 'testform',
'method' => 'post',
'action' => '',
'elements' => $pieform_elements,
));

```

I changed 

'type' => 'text',

to

'type' => 'radio',

but, not working.

Is there a source code or URL that is a hint of how to make it?

Thanks for your help.

Hello Tetsuhiro,

In order to use a pieform with type 'radio' you need to define the options to display.

Try replacing the login_username part with this code:

'login_username' => array(
'type' => 'radio',

'options' => array(
0 => 'option 1',
1 => 'option 2',
2 => 'option 3',
),

'title' => get_string('username'),
'description' => get_string('usernamedesc'),
'help' => get_string('usernamehelp'),
'rules' => array(
'required' => true
)
),

Hope this helps!
