checkbox_control :is_searchable, :label => "Allow other #{SITE_NAME} members to search for me and view me on the members page?"

# Generates this:

<input type="checkbox" id="user_is_searchable" value="1" name="user[is_searchable]" class="checkbox" checked="checked"/>
<input type="hidden" value="0" name="user[is_searchable]" class="hidden"/>
<label for="user_is_searchable">Send me weekly motivator reports?</label>

# When this is submitted to the controller I get:

{ "user" => { "is_searchable" => "0" } }

# Even if the checkbox is checked?

# I can solve this by simply reversing the order of the hidden checkbox field. Like so:

<input type="hidden" value="0" name="user[is_searchable]" class="hidden"/>
<input type="checkbox" id="user_is_searchable" value="1" name="user[is_searchable]" class="checkbox" checked="checked"/>
<label for="user_is_searchable">Send me weekly motivator reports?</label>
