Yii ConditionalValidator Not Working - php

Question

I am trying to set a field as reuired only when another field selected value not equal to 11.
I have tried this example
array('role', 'ext.YiiConditionalValidator',
'if' => array(
array('role', 'compare', 'compareValue'=>"11"),
),
'then' => array(
array('company_id', 'required'),
),
),
),
I tried downloading new ConditionalValidator.
And even tried custom condition:
public function checkEndDate($attributes,$params)
{
$this->addError('company_id','Error Message');
}
public function rules() {
return array(
array('company_id', 'checkEndDate')
);
}
But it all shows error. Any simple way to solve this?.

Why not using scenarios? If you're creating/editing model with 'customer_type=active' you can before hand create it with special scenario:
$model = new MyModel(MyModel::SCENARIO_ACTIVE);
and then define your rules including scenario:
array('birthdate, city', 'required', 'on' => MyModel::SCENARIO_ACTIVE),
array('city', 'in', 'range' => array("sao_paulo", "sumare", "jacarezinho"), 'on' => MyModel::SCENARIO_ACTIVE)
If you don't like this way, you can always very simply create your own validator.
In rules:
array('customer_type', 'myCustomValidator'),
In the model class:
function myCustomValidator(){
if($this->customer_type == 'active'){
...
if($error){
$this->addError(...);
}
}
}
