Duncan O'Neill answers:
Download the post-options code from the link you gave.
Alter the function hybrid_post_meta_boxes() to add the select drop-down for posts. After line 46, add this code;
'example'=>array('name'=>'Example','title'=>__('Select:'),'type'=>'select','options'=>array('opt1'=>'opt1','opt2'=>'opt2')),
so that the entire function looks like this;
function hybrid_post_meta_boxes() {
/* Array of the meta box options. */
$meta_boxes = array(
'title' => array( 'name' => 'Title', 'title' => __('Title', 'hybrid'), 'type' => 'text' ),
'description' => array( 'name' => 'Description', 'title' => __('Description', 'hybrid'), 'type' => 'textarea' ),
'image' => array( 'name' => 'Image', 'title' => __('Image:', 'hybrid'), 'type' => 'text' ),
'featured' => array( 'name' => 'Featured', 'title' => __('Featured img:', 'hybrid'), 'type' => 'text' ),
'example'=>array('name'=>'Example','title'=>__('Select:'),'type'=>'select','options'=>array('opt1'=>'opt1','opt2'=>'opt2')),
);
return apply_filters( 'hybrid_post_meta_boxes', $meta_boxes );
}

Hi again Philip,
I guess I'm a bit confused as to what you want to do.
It looks as if you'll need some JQuery to achieve what you're trying to do. Which I can code for you if I get some more details.
Will the content you're trying to show / hide replace the show / hide box when a user clicks the show / hide box?
thanks,
Duncan
Duncan O'Neill comments:
Philip, just trying to clarify: Is the whole goal of the exercise to show / hide content on the front-end depending on the ONE option chosen in the back-end?
Philip comments:
no, i don't need jquery,
the whole goal is to show / hide content on the front-end depending on the ONE option chosen in the back-end.
i try the code you wrote but i cant find how i add different content.
thanks!
Duncan O'Neill comments:
I'm not following you.
"Add different content"? Do you mean you want more than two options in the select drop-down in the back-end? If so, add the options to the code from the first piece of code above.
If not, check that the variables are returning properly;
$eg = get_post_meta($post->ID,"Example",true);
echo $eg;
If the variables are returning properly, it should be a matter of just following the logic you first posted;
if is show
//get php file
else
//do nothing
so;
$eg = get_post_meta($post->ID,"Example",true);
if ($eg=="title1") include(1.php);
// else do nothing
If this doesn't make sense, can you please explain "I cant find how I add different content"?
The code solution should be easy, but I'm just not understanding exactly what isn't working.
thanks,
Duncan
Duncan O'Neill comments:
Oh, you might need to do this in the front end;
$eg = get_post_meta(get_the_ID(),"Example",true);
f ($eg=="show") include(included-file.php);
instead of;
$eg = get_post_meta($post->ID,"Example",true);
if ($eg=="show") include(included-file.php);
Both of the above depend on the following line of code being part of the hybrid_post_meta_boxes function above,
'example'=>array('name'=>'Example','title'=>__('Select:'),'type'=>'select','options'=>array('show','hide')),
