Radio buttons to display one of two titles in view

Permalink
I'm trying to make a block with a static header title and a textarea. The header title will be a choice between two, Header A and Header B. Radio buttons, just pick one to display after you add the block.

I've searched the forums and found a couple of examples but they just didn't work for me. Am I correct that it's a communication between the add/edit.php and controller.php? I have this for controller.php but I don't know what I should be writing for add/edit:

public function getWhichHeader() {
if (?) {
   $title .= "Header A";
} else {
   $title .= "Header B";
}
}


Sorry for being really clueless about this. Any guidance at all is very much appreciated in advance. Thanks.

Okay so I found something different.

db.xml:

<field name="header" type="I1">
<unsigned />
<notnull />
<default value="0" />
</field>


controller.php:

public function save($args) {
      $args['header'] = isset($args['header']) ? 1 : 0;
      parent::save($args);
   }


form.php (add/edit):

<?php
echo $form->checkbox('header', '1', $header);
?>


It's a checkbox, not a radio button like I intended, but it was a found script. The checked box's status is saved, but I can't figure out how to get any saved data, based on the saved check box, to show in view.php. Does anyone have any guidance or suggestions? Thank you so much.

Nevermind, I found the Designer Content add on and it's super helpful!
