Request Method:  	GET
Request URL: 	http://localhost:8000/cms/admin/forum/forums/add/
Exception Type: 	AttributeError
Exception Value: 	'bool' object has no attribute 'get'
Exception Location: 	/usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/django/core/meta/__init__.py in get_manipulator_fields, line 256

the model in question is here:

class Forum(meta.Model):
    category = meta.ForeignKey( Category )
    name = meta.CharField(maxlength=150, core=True)
    description = meta.TextField()
    # # of posts
    posts = meta.IntegerField()
    # # of topics 
    topics = meta.IntegerField()
    prune_it = meta.BooleanField()
    class META:                                                                                                   
        admin = meta.Admin(                                                                                       
            list_display = ('name', 'description'),                                                               
        )                                                                                                         
           

any hints?

ok.. this is strange.
changing the 'posts' and 'topics' fields to post_count and topic_count fixed the issue.
nb: I also have other models called post and topic.

After spending forever trying to workout what was wrong... it has nothing to do with boolean fields.

As Ian wrote, it is to do with a property having the same name as the pluralised name of another class, change the property to something else and it will work correctly.

Sounds like the issue was fixed.

Reopening because it wasn't fixed :)

(In [4673]) 0.91-bugfixes: Fixed #999 by resolving name clash in the metasystem which could confuse manipulators about which fields they should follow. Refs #1808, #1826, #1839 and #2415, which are variations of this that persist in trunk.
