How to work with this form in Django?

Normally when I want to display individual form fields I use:

{{ form.NAMEOFFIELD }}

and if I want to display the entire form I just do:

{{ form }}

But now I'm working on a file where that doesn't work. The backend developers might not have made the form view specific so the only way I can display it is by doing:

{% render_comment_form for object.video %}

For this form, how can I grab individual field and catch form errors (since it's not called the usual way)?

Presumably you're talking about the comments app. As well as render_comment_form, that app provides a get_comment_form tag:

{% get_comment_form for object.video as comment_form %}

Now the form is available in the comment_form variable, and can be iterated in the normal way.
