What I want to achieve is that only comments in the useres selected language are shown. In detailscomment.tpl I found the following code: <table {STANDARDTABLE}> <!-- BEGIN POST --> <!-- BEGIN REGULAR --> [INSERTFILE=postbit] <!-- END REGULAR --> <!-- END POST --> </table> How can I achieve, that this section does only show comments with e.g "commentlanguage={VISITORLANGUAGE}"? Cheers, Chris

Thank you. I also tried to use a filter to show comments within detailcomments.tpl only in a selected language. "commentlang" is a customer-comment-field I added (only two possible values "english" or "german"). In detailcomments I used: <form action="comments.php?id={LINKID}&filter=commentlan g&commentfilteraction=add" method="post"> <select name="filtervalue"> <option value="removefilter">show all</option> <option value="english">English</option> <option value="deutsch">Deutsch</option> <input type="submit" value="Filter"> </form> I also tried: <form action="comments.php?id={LINKID}&filter=commentlan g&filtercondition=contains&commentfilteraction=add" method="post"> <select name="filtervalue"> <option value="removefilter">show all</option> <option value="english">English</option> <option value="deutsch">Deutsch</option> <input type="submit" value="Filter"> </form> Only removefilter works, but "english" and "deutsch" in both cases results in: Unknown column 'english' in 'where clause' Number of rows is Unknown column 'english' in 'where clause' or Unknown column 'deutsch' in 'where clause' Number of rows is Unknown column 'deutsch' in 'where clause' What am I doing wrong? Cheers, Chris

I was not able to call the field "language", because this name was forbidden by the system. So I called it commentlang.
