Re: Django Admin - BooleanField issue

Well, both Django and Python are consistent in their use of the terms "True" and "False" to represent boolean objects:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/models/fields/#booleanfield
http://docs.python.org/2/library/stdtypes.html#boolean-values

In addition, the whole point of the ORM is to shield you from *how* a database stores a particular value (be it boolean or anything), and just work with it as though it was a POPO (Plain Old Python Object).

That seems to have worked... I used 1 and 0 as the database is set for a tinyint to store the value (so needs to be 1 or 0).  That said, django/python seems to figure that out when saving the value.

Thanks; wouldn't have thought to try that.

Hi. May be you need

active = models.BooleanField(choices=((True,'yes'),(False,'no')))

?

I've setup a boolean field and get it to display correctly using this in my model:
active = models.BooleanField(choices=((1,'yes'),(0,'no')))

However, when I edit a record in the Django Admin, the select field always shows "yes" regardless of the database value.

Saving "yes" or "no" stores the correct 1 or 0; is there a bug in the edit form?  Or did I miss a setting?

Thanks,
