Render drupal form in custom template

Question

I'm trying to render DRUPAL content type form in a custom tpl that I created. But its just printing the hidden fields not the actual form.

I tried using drupal_get_form and drupal_render, but nothing works!

Can someone suggest me a link or reference to drupal theming guide? Am I missing something?

You need to use drupal_get_form and drupal_render on 2 different steps.

$myForm = drupal_get_form('YOUR_FORM_ID');
print drupal_render($myForm);
