Re: user status enum

It's usually best to state exactly what problems one is encountering.
That being said, for a single checkbox, I usually use this format:

<?php echo $form->hidden('User.id'); ?>
<label>Active
<?php echo $form->checkbox('User.status'); ?>
</label>

The way you were doing it is more like what one would use for a select
list. In your case, you only need a single checkbox with the value 1.
If it's not present, the default 0 will be set (depending upon how you
defined the column).

If the value is set in $this->data (say, in an edit form) Cake will
take care of settingthe checkbox to the "checked" state.
