Title
Enforcing "You must agree" requirements in forms
Checkboxes have two possible values, `true` and `false`, but some applications require that the user select one particular value before proceeding. Examples might be: * I agree to the terms and conditions * I agree not to ship these goods into a terrorist country * I agree that Yii is the best MVC framework ever * I am over 18 years of age In this case, the checkbox (implemented in the usual way in a form) warrants a validator that enforces this condition, and it can be done with the built-in `compare` validator along with a custom message: Here, the model's `iagree` attribute(which could be named anything as your database or form dictate)can be attached to a form, and validation will be applied to it: ~~~ [php] class SomeModel extends CActiveRecord { ... public function rules() { array('iagree', 'compare', 'compareValue' => true, 'message' => 'You must agree to the terms and conditions' ), ... } ... } ~~~ Be sure to change the `message` to more precisely reflect what the user is agreeing to, as well as to provide an `error` label in the form.
