You can switch boolean fields in the admin without editing objects

Usage:

` class News(models.Model):

    # ...

    pub = models.BooleanField(_('publication'),default=True)

    # ...

    pub_switch = boolean_switch(pub)

    class Admin:

         list_display = ('id', 'pub_switch')

Thanks for svetlyak.

Using Django 0.96, "self.id" in boolean_switch returned "None", and the link URL was not correct.

I replaced it by self._get_pk_val() and it worked.

One issue, we can't order by that field, although it's not a big issue for boolean.

TIP: do not forget to import get_object_or_404 from django.shortcuts or switch will not work and no exception will be raised.
