Module development and code questions

For a couple of projects, I would like to be able to have the comments included in the printer-friendly page. The readme says:

TO DO
- Add ability to optionally attach comments to nodes for printing
  by calling comment_render().

I'm not adept enough at Drupal code to understand exactly what this means. Has anyone implemented this? (CVS does not have it.) Any suggestions or code snippets (!) would be much appreciated!

Thanks!

I'm working on (yet another!) sort order patch for the taxonomy module, and I want to store the sort order in a column created for this purpose in term_data.
The sort order is in an array, and I decided to store it in a VARCHAR column called sortorder.

The ouput from _taxonomy_prepare_update looks like this:

I installed drupal 4.6rc and image.module.
How can I make an album by giving Photos in a directory on the server, as it worked in 4.5?
thanks

Hey you,
I installed drupal with the image.module, to make some galleries visible for every user.
I would like to add a gallery for non-popular use, so that a specific user must log on to see it.
Is that possible?
Thanks

I need suggestions for how to program some feature that I am planning for my module. I am currently building an "anti-fud linux site" in portuguese and I plan on a feature that will do something like that:

First: a new node type (I called it "grue" on lack of creativity) which only differs from "story" in that you can edit its teaser (actually used as an "abstract"). Only administrators can enter grues. This is already implemented and working.

Second: on each story, an administrator, and only an administrator can edit it to add markups like <13>excerpt of text</13>, meaning that these excerpts will be "marked" as logical fallacies (reference: http://www.datanation.com/fallacies/index.htm. The 13 is the node number for the equivalent grue in this case. A sample text would be like that:

<3>And so this story bla bla bla</3> and also <7>yadda yadda yadda</7>. Besides that, <4>so and so and so</4>.

When an user sees this news story, it would be processed (and I think this would be a good place for a filter) to show something like that. Let's consider that nodes 3, 7 and 4 are grues and have names "bla", "ble" and "bli" respectively.

"And so this story bla bla bla and also yadda yadda yadda. Besides that, so and so and so.

This article has the fallacies bla, ble and bli. Click here for details."

Each project page can display a "Support forum" link. What is the best way to point that link to a specific user forum. Looking in the project.inc file I see:

$links[] = l(t('Support forum'), variable_get('project_support_forum', 'forum/18'));

But I'm unsure how to set the project_support_forum variable from the GUI.

Thanks,
