Deverifying a URLField

[Rich Jones]

Hello, all!

I have a small conundrum I could use a hand with.

I have a deployed Django application with a Model which has a
URLField:

project_homepage = models.URLField('Project Homepage', blank=True)

and a ModelForm to create the parent object.

Currently, the application checks to see if this is a valid URL. I
would like this to be unvalidated instead.

How do I go about changing it? Will I need to do a database migration
to do this? Or can I just add a 'verified=False' and run syncdb?

Thanks so much!
Rich

How about ...

project_homepage = models.URLField('Project Homepage', blank=True,
verify_exists=(not settings.DEBUG))

... which should avoid verification during development but make it
happen in production.

URL Validation is done in django, not in the database, so there's no
need for a migration here. Also note that syncdb DOES NOT migrate
anything - if you have a need for schema and data migrations then
South is your friend.
