please see the bottom for this part! I can't get the search to search name instead of number.you could also do something like this if you want a simple dropdown on your cgridview in your filter header:
```php
array(
'name'=>'active_status', //
'type'=>'raw',
'value' =>'$data->active_status? "Active": "Inactive"', //converts my 1 and 0 to Active / Inactive
'filter' => array('0' => 'Inactive', '1' => 'Active'), // Adds a dropdown to the filter
'headerHtmlOptions' => array('style'=>'text-align:center; vertical-align: middle;font-size: 20px !important;'),
