13613	forms.URLField not default ModelForm URLField anymore	amadison	nobody	"Looks like with Changeset 11456 the ModelForm URLField stopped using the forms.FormField as it's default form field. Now it just uses a regular CharField but adds the validators.URLValidator.

There are two important things that were lost when this happened. 
1. the ModelForm does not add on the 'http://' if it is not present, so 'www.google.com' is an invalid url when using a ModelForm, but not a regular form. 
2. The error message on an invalid url is now the generic 'Enter a valid value.' instead of the more helpful 'Enter a valid URL.'.

Attached is a diff for making the ModelForm URLField use the default forms.URLField again as the docs describe [http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/forms/modelforms/#field-types here]

I think this will make the validator run twice, but I think that's probably ok.
