I'm looking for a module that provides the possibility to filter/search in comments.

When there is content of the content type = Proposal you can comment on it. There's a good change that there will be 50 comments or more. Now I would like to have a search box beneath my content, above my comments that filter the comments when you search for a string.

I would also need to filter the comments for ex. between dates, by username, by number of votes, ... .

I've searched the internet but couldn't find anything that provides this functionality.

Has anybody ever needed this and which module you used or how did you approach this?

It's something like this I need:

For this you need to enable vote up/down and voting api module enabled Then enable voting for 'Proposal' content type mentioned in the image

Now import the below code mentioned in views.

$view = new view();

/* Display: Page */
$handler = $view->new_display('page', 'Page', 'page');

/* Display: Block */
$handler = $view->new_display('block', 'Block', 'block_1');
$handler->display->display_options['link_url'] = 'demo';

It will create a block in the admin/structure/block mentioned in the below image. Assign it to 'Proposal' content type. enter image description here

It will be displayed under proposal node view page this way

enter image description here

Hope it will help you.

Thanks! Really helpfull! Do you know how I can hide the standard comments? — nielsv, Commented Sep 22, 2014 at 8:39
Just create node--proposal.tpl.php and use hide($content['comments']); on the top or you can alter it in custom module using hook_preprocess_node() — user33576, Commented Sep 22, 2014 at 14:26
you can hide it in content type using comment setting tab for new content. For already created content you need to hide it manually on the tab — TBI Infotech, Commented Sep 22, 2014 at 14:42

I would look to put the comments in a view that you can add exposed filters to for dates, username, etc. See How to display comments of current node in a view

I think you will still be able to if you render rows as 'Rendered Entity' with the 'Display links' option.

1) Edit your content type.

2) Under comments setting section, search for "Default comment setting for new content" drop down.

3) Select "Hidden" from drop down.

4) Click on save.
