If you want update model in Bootstrap extensions designed form, value of checkBox or checkBoxRow is everytime 0 regardless on DB table value. No effect explicitly coded:
<?php echo $form->checkBoxRow($model, 'active', array('checked' => true)); ?>
You can solve this problem by adding 1 row before last row and modifying last row in activeCheckBox method of TbHtml class (bootstrap.helpers.TbHtml):
$check = self::popOption('checked', $htmlOptions,false);
return $hidden . self::checkBox($name, $check, $htmlOptions);
