Considering Drupal for a large (thousands of pages) hierarchical site

We're considering a move to a new CMS for our site.

The site contains several thousand content items.

On thing that I'm wondering about is how easy it would be to model our strictly hierarchical site structure, which also needs to be reflected in the menu navigation structure.

That is, any content item a user creates must be in a particular place within the structure - free-floating nodes are not going to be permitted.

Another import requirement is LDAP integration for authors and users.

Looking for (L)CMS solution

Hi all,

I'm searching for a (L)CMS solution for my e-Learning site (Moodle is to complex for me). I need the following functionality:

- Multilingual support
* reasonable support for content translation
* browser language detection + cookie for user choice

- Paypal support
* pay-per-view support - ideal solution would be to mark part of article as premium-only
* subscriptions - time constrained payed access to a cathegory

- Google Adsense, Analytics, Sitemaps support

pls help me: about the site categories

i've setup my categories like this :

News Center
Europe News
UK News
FR News
RU News
...
Asia News
CN News
JP News
KR News
IN News
...

i want to know :
1 How can i get the categories list bellow [Asia News]? and all list belonged to [News Center] then ?
2 How can i get the articles in [Asia News]'s child categories for [Asia News]?

thx.

Intensive viewer tracking

I'm creating a website that--at its core--requires the ability to record every single page a registered user visits (and in what order) even if a user's path is, say, index.htm -> 1.htm -> 5.htm -> 1.htm ->6.htm. It then needs to make that data available so I can create a report page that the user can see where they've been in the website, in which sessions.

Does anyone know of a tracking module in Drupal that does something this intensive?

Thanks!

Social Network Question (Not asking for modules).

I've been trying to look up how to create a social network with Drupal, found these links which seem to point out a lot of the needed modules 7968 and 10531. If someone knows of other helpful links, it'd be welcomed, but that's not needed nor my main concerns/questions.

I'm not a programmer, but I can make a website with CSS and PHP. Just the basics of PHP. So I'm concerned whether or not I'd be able to actually make a fully featured social network like phpFox, Handshakes, and others offer.

So, if anyone is willing, here are some questions:

1) If I'm not mistaken, it could take 20 or more modules to have the full features. Would I run in to trouble with needing to hack things to get them all to work together or no?

2) Looks like not all the modules that are needed are updated for Durpal 6 yet. Once the modules are upgraded, should it be fairly easy to upgrade? Meaning like Wordpress. Upgrade Drupal, then upgrade the modules, no data would be lost?

3) If I even run in to a situation where some key modules aren't updated, if the website is functioning fine, staying at that level of Durpal shouldn't matter? Like 5.7 I think is completed and stable, so staying with it wouldn't be a problem if everything is fine?

...Drupal onto XAMPP

I'm watching the relatively clear step-by-step video about installing Drupal 6 on a remote server from an Apple Mac.

Can anyone say which steps I need to do differently if I'm installing Drupal 6 on XAMPP running on a Word machine?

Thanks!
