so I have this table :

CREATE TABLE `KBCATEGORY` (
`CATEGORYID` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
`CATEGORYNAME` varchar(100) NOT NULL,
`ISPRIVATE` tinyint(1) NOT NULL,
`CATEGORYUPID` int(11) NOT NULL,
`CATORDER` int(11) NOT NULL,
`KBCOUNT` int(11) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`CATEGORYID`)

how to modify a dropdownlist, so it will show not only the CATEGORYNAME but also the KBCOUNT?
So, it will appears like : CATEGORYNAME (KBCOUNT) or for example, Knowledge Base (12)

thanks for helping

Try this way,

In controller, create an array

$values = array(
            0 => array('id' => "1", "name" => CATEGORYNAME . KBCOUNT),
            1 => array('id' => "2", "name" => CATEGORYNAME . KBCOUNT ),
        );

then in view,

echo CHtml::activeDropDownList($model, 'attr', CHtml::listData($values, 'id', 'name'));

you also can write a function in Model and use it as below,

echo CHtml::activeDropDownList($model, 'attr', CHtml::listData($model->functionName(), 'id', 'name'));

I havent tested the second way, so let me know if you get it work.

I would use virtual attribute in this case (though there may be some other solutions).
For example, in your model

public function getMyCusomName(){
 return $this->categoryname.' ('.$this->kbcount.')';
}

and then use this data in your activeDropDownList

CHtml::listData(Kbcategory::model()->findAll(), 'id', 'myCustomName');
