[patch] Validators in BooleanField validator_list are called only when the field is set to True

[dk@…]

Assume the following model:

def check_frobbyness( field_data, all_data):
	raise ValidationError, "Booh!"

class Frob( models.Model):
    is_frobby = models.BooleanField( _("Frobs OK"),  validator_list=[ check_frobbyness])    

The ValidationError occurs exactly when the checkbox is_frobby is checked in the admin, therefore validation is not possible for the "off" state.

Fixed... it uses Javascript but without JS behaviour is good (same behaviour than before patching)

A cleaner solution... with a separated javascript file and more modular

Thanks for the patch, but I think this fix is a bit too heavy-handed for this case. If you want a validator to always run for a BooleanField, set the always_test attribute on the validator to True.

This feature is, admittedly, undocumented right at the moment, but that will be fixed shortly.
