live and neutral feeds to the switch box
lives into the actual switch ( com )
neutrals into a terminal block ( or second pole if using double pole switches. )
live and neutral from light to the switch box
live into switch ( L1 )
neutral into the terminal block with the other neutrals ( or to the other side of the second pole if using double pole switches.. )

It's all in the wiki
Probably some in the sticky at the top of this forum too.
You could always try a search

1) Look at diagrams of 2-way switching when only the phase goes to and from the switch network.
2) See how it works.
3) Think how little it changes if neutral also goes to and from the switch network.
4) Wonder why you couldn't work that out yourself.

it was a two way circuit diagram i was looking for for loop in at switches
Look in the wiki at the 2 way wiring diagram. The switch wires connect into L1 and L2 at the switch along with the strappers.
Now look at the wiring diagram coljack posted above. The switch wires are connected across L1 and C.
All you would need to do is the same as coljack posted above for the neutrals and earth but do the same as the 2way circuit in the wiki i.e. connecting the switch wires across L1 and L2 along with the strappers.

1) Look at diagrams of 2-way switching when the loop circuit runs through the ceiling and only the phase goes to and from the switch network.

TIP
One way switching takes place across COM and L1
Two way switching takes place across L1 and L2
Neutrals play no part.
I can not see what you are struggling with?

loop in and out live cables go to L1..
live out to the light goes to L2..
3 core and earth go from common to common, L1 to L1, and L2 to L2..
neutrals stop in the terminal block, earths go in the earth terminal on faceplate, grid or back box.. ( or terminal block )

Give it up everyone - I don't know who this william1985 is, but he doesn't have the capacity to understand anything you're trying to tell him.
