Invalid block tag: render_comment_form

[Florian Lindner]

Hello,

I use the comments framework from the newest Django SVN checkout.

I have in my template:

{% load comments % }
[...]
{% render_comment_form for object %}

resulting in a Invalid block tag: 'render_comment_form'

I have found the same error in one other posting but no solution. What
is wrong?

Thanks,

Florian

Florian,

I've found the following link to be helpful:

http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/UsingFreeComment

For Django 1.0, you should replaces all instances of "free_comment*" with just comment*, in both files and function names.

However, I'll add that I'm stuck on a similar problem.

The document asks you to use the following code to display the comment form:
{% comment_form for blog.entry object.id %}

It fails in a very similar way to what you describe. However, if you replace 'comment_form' with 'render_comment_form' you no longer get the error and you don't get the form either.

Maybe you'll progress further than I have,

I'm also using Django 1.0 [1.0-final-SVN-unknown] and I was getting
Invalid block tag errors while using both:
* {% comment_form %} and
* {% free_comment_form %}

The solution that works for me is: {% render_comment_form %} with the
syntax:
* {% render_comment_form for [object] %}
* {% render_comment_form for [app].[model] [object_id] %}

(Solution via http://tinyurl.com/render-comment-form)

Hope it helps,
Marius
