Please how do connect a modelform to a CreateView

[Netesy Emmanuel]

My View.py

class EducationCreate(CreateView):
    model = Education
    form_class = EducationForm

    def form_valid(self, form):
        form.instance.student = self.request.user
        return super(EducationCreate, self).form_valid(form)

    @method_decorator(login_required)
    def dispatch(self, *args, **kwargs):
        return super(EducationCreate, self).dispatch(*args, **kwargs)

url.py
url(r'^settings/education/add/$', views.EducationCreate.as_view(), name='education-add')

model.py
class Education(models.Model):
    student = models.ForeignKey(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL)
    school = models.CharField(max_length=250)
    started = models.DateField()
    finished = models.DateField()
    degree = models.CharField(max_length=250)

Forms.py
class EducationForm(forms.ModelForm):
    school = forms.CharField(label="School Name",max_length=250,help_text="Please enter the school name.")
    started = forms.DateField(label="Started School",)
    finished = forms.DateField(label="Finished School",)
    degree = forms.CharField(label="Degree Earned",max_length=250, help_text="Please enter the degree earned.")
   
    class Meta:
        model = Education
        fields = ('student','school','started','finished','degree')

This is the linkage, so it looks like you already have it in place. Is there a specific issue you are having?

Are you using 1.10? If so, you can take advantage of the new LoginRequiredMixin so that you don't need to decorate the dispatch() method.
