The problem is Joodb can not automatically detect the type of a field. Therefore even tinyint-fields are normal input buttons.
But you have several options.
* Change your active
field to a
SET type with values like (0,1) or (active,inactive,trashed)
* Alternatively you can also insert the code by hand into the form template
<label><input type="radio" name="afield" value="0" /> Inactive</label>
<label><input type="radio" name="afield" value="1" {joodb ifis|afield}checked="checked"{joodb endif} /> Active</label>
* Alternatively you can write yourself a plugin which outputs the code
Be aware that normal checkboxes will not do the job, because joodb does not overwrite the value of a field if it's not posted.
