Re: Need help in calling dispatch on custom mixin for authorization

I was able to resolve the issue.
In mixins.py, .get_object() was unresolvable so I inherited from SingleObjectMixin also I had to use the id to check equality.

from django.contrib.auth.mixins import LoginRequiredMixin

from django.core.exceptions import PermissionDenied

from django.views.generic.detail import SingleObjectMixin

class UserAuthorMixin(LoginRequiredMixin, SingleObjectMixin):

    def dispatch(self, request, *args, **kwargs):

        if request.user.is_authenticated() and request.user.id is not self.get_object().author.user.id:

            raise PermissionDenied

        return super(UserAuthorMixin, self).dispatch(request, *args, **kwargs)
