Hi,
I was hoping to use Drupal to have hierarchical user data, so that it can have other nodes associated to it. Is it possible to do this in Drupal?

e.g A user creates node_A, and then creates node_B1, node_B2 which are associated with node_A. Also, node_A has limits on what types of nodes can be attached to it, and how many of each.

Is this going to be really hard in Drupal? Drupal seems to be completely flat. Does anyone know of any examples of node types that have sub nodes and restricted sub node specifactions (both type and number)

What you're describing sounds very much like the outline feature of the Book module. You can add pretty much any node to an outline that way. The only downside of that is that anybody can create children to any book.

This can be accomplished in a few ways:

1. The core book module;

2. the categories module

3. The core taxonomy module, along with the nodeorder module --

Any of these options will get the job done -- the best solution for you will be determined by the needs of you/your users.

Cheers,

Bill
