Deprecated - Drupal core

For example when adding the blog module you have the ability to click on the my posts menu link.
if you add a few entries and then click that link it has just the blog posts.

what i want is the link to provide you with the blog posts and list or show all the comments for each post.
is there some code you need to add to show the posts comments on this page?

i understand this normally has about 5 posts shown but that can be set elsewhere.

Is there a way to limit how many pages a specific user group can create?
For example:
I want to create a user group called general users.
Based on the system settings a general user is allowed to create a maximum of 3 pages of content for the website.

I noticed that this is not in drupal 6:

Page title: (form)

To enable browsing this field by value, enter a title for the resulting page. The word %value will be substituted with the corresponding value. An example page title is "People whose favorite color is %value". This is only applicable for a public field.

But it is in drupal 4.7.

do you think that might change?

thanks

How does Drupal Work? I need Drupal Order of execution and references

Example Modx Order of execution
http://wiki.modxcms.com/index.php/Order_of_execution

I have a web-app built into drupal, and I'm trying to use the bootstrap.inc "variable_get()" and "variable_set()" functions to store persistent data site-wide.

These PHP functions work when I initially load a .php page, however when I hit a different .php file with Javascript (AJAX), these functions don't work (Fatal error: Call to undefined function variable_get() etc..). Is bootstrap.inc not included because when I use Javascript, Drupal doesn't recognize the logged-in user?

Wasn't sure where to put this, so I put it here. I'm trying to create a bilingual site in English and French, and I want to have a secondary links that switches back and forth between the two, "English" when I'm on the French side and "francais" when I'm on the English side. I don't want them to go to any particular page, just whatever page is currently being views, except in the other language. That struck me as the type of thing I've seen on countless sites, so I figured someone would have already asked about it, but I couldn't find anything. There was a way to do it in PHP in 4.6, but it doesn't work the same way in 5.1. Does anyone have any ideas, this is pretty much make or break for the project.

Another thing I was wondering is I've set it up so that the site uses one logo for the French side and a different one for the English side. The only problem is that the home page (whether I get to it from the French side, the English side, or externally) comes up as a the site-name, which is not language specific. Does anyone know how I can make the home page either www.sitename.com/?q=en(possibly followed by path alias) or www.sitename.com/?q=fr(possibly followed by path alias) depending on where I'm coming from. That too is probably make of break.
