[support] College Website Migrating to Drupal

[Jai]

Thanks Shyamala...

Right now I am giving time to the learning curve required by the Views
module. Views and CCK look like essential for any web portal with Drupal.
According to the knowledge I have, I can figure out that I can easily fetch
5 top stories from the news and events content types.

Organic Groups module looks awesome from managing groups along with
permissions.

Now what I am really looking here is a kind of module that helps me in
creation of hierarchical content for each user. e.g. a user creates four
content nodes, then each node could have 3 child nodes each. That node could
be of any type. Say Video, Gallery Pages, Class Notes, Resume etc.
Permissions over each such content created by user is very important. As for
example a student should not be able to edit the content created by other
student or a society-head of the college.

Also I am looking for a way there so that I could list each user's space
with a URL like "http://collegedomain/studentpages/studentname".

>  Organic Groups: *http://drupal.org/project/og*

> *Enable users to create and manage their own 'groups'. Each group can have
> subscribers, and maintains a group home page where subscribers communicate
> amongst themselves. They do so by posting the usual node types: blog, story,
> page, etc. A block is shown on the group home page which facilitates these
> posts. The block also provides summary information about the group.*
>
> *Groups may be selective or not. Selective groups require approval in
> order to become a member, or even invitation -only groups. There are lots of
> preferences to configure groups as you need.*
>
> *Groups get their own theme, language, taxonomy, and so on. Integrates
> well and depends upon Views module*
>
> Views: *http://drupal.org/project/views*
>
> *This tool is essentially a smart query builder that, given enough
> information, can build the proper query, execute it, and display the
> results. It has four modes, plus a special mode, and provides an impressive
> amount of functionality from these modes.*
