Yes, the code from block_comment is definitly easier than the others. Since yesterday I am trying to use the block_comments class, I tried it different ways. Now I pasted the code into my request_view.php (under my form class) and made an instance, but no comment field is showing up.

<?php
...

class block_comments extends block_base { 
		function init() {
			$this->title = get_string('pluginname', 'block_comments');
		}
		function specialization() {
			// require js for commenting
			comment::init();
		}
		function applicable_formats() {
			return array('all' => true);
		}
		function instance_allow_multiple() {
			return false;
		}
		function get_content() {
			global $CFG, $PAGE;
			if ($this->content !== NULL) {
				return $this->content;
			}
			if (!$CFG->usecomments) {
				$this->content = new stdClass();
				$this->content->text = '';
				if ($this->page->user_is_editing()) {
					$this->content->text = get_string('disabledcomments');
				}
				return $this->content;
			}
			$this->content = new stdClass();
			$this->content->footer = '';
			$this->content->text = '';
			if (empty($this->instance)) {
				return $this->content;
			}
			list($context, $course, $cm) = get_context_info_array($PAGE->context->id);
			$args = new stdClass;
			$args->context   = $PAGE->context;
			$args->course    = $course;
			$args->area      = 'page_comments';
			$args->itemid    = 0;
			$args->component = 'block_comments';
			$args->linktext  = get_string('showcomments');
			$args->notoggle  = true;
			$args->autostart = true;
			$args->displaycancel = false;
			$comment = new comment($args);
			$comment->set_view_permission(true);
			$comment->set_fullwidth();
			$this->content = new stdClass();
			$this->content->text = $comment->output(true);
			$this->content->footer = '';
			return $this->content;
		}
	}
	// Make an comment instance
	$blockcomments = new block_comments();
	echo var_dump($blockcomments);
	$blockcomments->init();
	$blockcomments->specialization();
	$blockcomments->get_content(); 
	
        // Make an form instance
	echo "<h1>Leihantrag stellen</h1>";
	$form = new request_form($moodle_url . "&test=true", $moodle_url, $devices);
	$form->display();
?>

Am I doing something wrong or do I need all the other files too? (If I need all the other files....why there are so less hints in the moodle comment API documentation?)
