Drupal is up and running but how do I ...?

recent comments block

Is there a way to show the 5-10 most recent comments made in a side block? I assume this could be done with some simple php code (which I don't have the know-how to do) or perhaps there is a module that has been developed for this that I wasn't able to find. Any help out there?

Profile fields as $node object

Hello,

I've been searching for an hour now but I could not find an answer for my problem.

I want to make a profile field available as a $node object. That is, for example, I want to be able to use $node->icq in a template like $node->name to show author's icq number. Possible?

Of course if there's another way to show a profile field data on other nodes, that'd be OK too.

Thank you.

Sort Order of Pages and Stories (outside of by date and by author)

There are times when I need to sort pages differently than by date/by author. Is there a sort_order or rank property to take care of this?

In other words if we had the following:
rank title
100 Story On Red Widgets
200 Green Widget Documentary
300 Tales of Orange Widgets

then it could be changed as follows:
rank title
100 Story On Red Widgets
400 Green Widget Documentary
300 Tales of Orange Widgets

so that Green Widget Documenatry would appear last.

Glossary module - cannot configure

I installed and enabled the glossary module following the directions in the README, which said that I should associate the glossary with a taxonomy, and that the option would be available in Administer > Configuration > Filters. There is a block at the bottom of that page that says:

Polls closing early?

I'm having a devil of a time here. I'm trying to use the polls module, but I seem to have a problem with the polls closing within about an hour of when I set them up. I typically set them to close in "one week," but they close up far more quickly. I tried looking at the database; the poll and poll_choices tables seem intact. Any ideas on where I should go, what I should look for to fix this?
