Re: Checkbox field always is 1, regardless whether checked or not

$model->field('activated');

This makes a select on the database and if you set $model->id before
you should get the activated status of this id. Maybe if you dont set
the id it selects the first entry. http://book.cakephp.org/de/view/453/field

$this->data['TermolinoWord']['activated'];

This comes out of a form and represents the status of the checkbox in
this form.

So these two things are different and shouldnt get the same result.
