Re: django 1.5 abstractuser / accessing information of logged on user

Thanks for the post Tom, I notice that the FormMixin class is from django.views.generic.edit and I am confused to how to use it so I gave it a try with

#views.py

class PremisesUpdateView(LoginRequiredMixin, FormMixin):

form_class = PremisesForm 

model = Premises

success_url = reverse_lazy('premlv')

def get_form_kwargs(self):

kwargs = super(PremisesUpdateView, self).get_form_kwargs()

kwargs['heating_user'] = self.request.user

return kwargs

#forms.py

class PremisesUpdateView(LoginRequiredMixin, FormMixin):

form_class = PremisesForm 

model = Premises

success_url = reverse_lazy('premlv')

def get_form_kwargs(self):

kwargs = super(PremisesUpdateView, self).get_form_kwargs()

kwargs['heating_user'] = self.request.user

return kwargs

however a problem now occurs with my urls.py  , because not i get an error 'type object 'PremisesCreateView' has no attribute 'as_view'

#urls.py

 ),

    url(

regex=r'premuv/(?P<pk>\d+)/$',

        view=PremisesUpdateView.as_view(),

name="premuv"

    ),

do you know what I would substitute as_view() for ,

thanks for the grounding in these CBV, I am using them ala 2 scoops of django!
