Just alter your table like this:

ALTER table Foo add test tinyint default 0;

This will work like test is boolean value.

Then add test in your rules array in Model.

array(‘test’, ‘boolean’)

Then all should work.

Modify your model class:




class MyModel extends CActiveRecord

{

    public $test;


    // ...

}

You can also add validation rules for this new field.

As you say, you dont need a database column, so you can use CHtml::[font=monospace]checkBox there you can put name which you wannt it’s not debend on your model becaus it is not asociated with model, if you chose CHtml::activeC[/font][font=monospace]heckBox then you must use your model and with simple [/font][font=monospace]checkBox it dont need to be used.[/font]
