Best way to categorize nodes hierarchily?
Jboo - October 21, 2008 - 16:11
Hi, I've just discovered that it's going to be difficult to use the category module on my D6 site but it looks like the on-the-fly menu structure no longer works (so it seems). I liked how I could categorize pages so that they were parents/children of each other so I would basically have hierarchy like this:
Parent Node
- Child Node
- Child Node
- Child Node
Parent Node
- Child Node
- Child Node
--- Child Node
---- Child Node
Parent Node
- Child Node
And so-on
What would be the next best way to achieve this? I would hate to think I would need to create a category/taxonomy and then somehow tag on content to the page.
book node
Book nodes support the page hierarchy you describe.

node hierarchy
try the node hierarchy module. i've been playing with it on a dev site and really liking it.
I didn't think of the book
I didn't think of the book module! The nodehierarchy module seems perfect though; just set it up and it works just the way I was hoping. Thanks for the help.
i thought about the book
i thought about the book module for my project too but decided to only use it for content that's more self-contained -- i like the way it works but it seemed weird to use it to organize the bulk of a site. conceptually it's cool to have a way to group pages into a set rather than just a sub-sub-sub section or whatever. before using drupal i never really thought about organizing site content in ways other than a great big tree... and now i'm thinking of the site tree as just *one* part of the site (and books might be in the tree, or they might be in a different section entirely).
