Differences: template options radio vs. boolean for t/f

In bulletproof, many of our template options are radio buttons like this:
Code: Select all
array(
'var' => 'firbtitle',
'name' => FIR_BTITLE,
'type' => 'radio',
'radio' => array('value' => array('true', 'false'),
'desc' => array(YES, NO)),
'default' => 'true',
),
But they could just have easily been this:
Code: Select all
array(
'var' => 'firbtitle',
'name' => FIR_BTITLE,
'type' => 'boolean',
'default' => 'true',
);
What is the real implication? I know we get a language variable with the type=radio.... does that not happen with a boolean or is there some other difference, or are these methods otherwise identical?

Hi!
What is the real implication?
Not really any, just a matter of personal preference. Like if you write "Hello!" or "Hi!" in your emails.

Thanks Garvin - seems boolean changes by language settings too. Think I will use that one from now on instead of the array with yes/no.

Yeah, that's less to type

Jeez, there are
19 instances of this in BP's config.inc.php ... I'll edit and commit that asap.

Guess you are going to beat me to it YL - which is fine as I am trying to track down something else!

You know, sometimes these things would maybe be easier to solve if you were a
tad more elaborate.

Sorry for being vague - problem I am trying to track down has nothing to do with bp.
