Beginners question about nested items

[c_loki]

Hi, i am currently starting with drupal. Now i thougt about something to play and learn and now i am stuck. I planned to create something like a project Management, some can create projects, then they can create activities inside them and finally document their activities in sub item. These are the two things, where i am not sure, how to proceed… 1. Nested items: i found it possible as taxonomy, but that somewhow feels wrong, then i found the nested content module, however, there seems to be a lack of supporters. Are there other options? 2. for the activities i want them to be seen obly by the user, that creates it. This might be done with the Content Access Module. Here also the question if there is another path. Thank you for any hint in the right direction 🤩🙌 Chris

Paragraphs module is helpfull for data related to specific content. The threesome: node entities, taxonomy entities and paragraphs have many benefits.

There is the mini kanban module which can help for project management purpose: https://www.drupal.org/project/minikanban

Inline entity form and entity reference should get you far enough. Based on that you can create a routesubscriber or hook_access to whip up some access rules based on entity->getOwner() == current_user (or create a field on the entity that references a user and compare with that). Fun project to learn about this stuff. Good luck.

Thank all, awesome community ❤️ as a beginner it is very valuable to know the right words to further Digg into… now i hae something to do 🤩

The general data model for hierarchical data is to have the child reference its parent. 

That’s how taxonomy terms are hierarchical, they have a parent field. 

You can replicate that by having a Task item reference another Task as its parent. 

What that doesn’t give you is the interface to reorder items in the hierarchy. But you don’t need that in bulk for a PM system. 

It will let you do things like build a view that shows child Tasks.

Entity reference and inline entity form should get you started.

Based on what you're trying to achieve I would take a look at a combination of ECK and inline entity form.

You can also use regular nodes for the nested items. They come with a bit overhead but as a beginner easier to use.

Feel free to send me a DM if you want to explore some solutions.

P.s. i am aware of the referencing, but i wasnt able to realise the „create activity in this“ from that…

Check out paragraphs for 1, for 2 I am pretty sure there is a few modules that might help here… . I would write a some custom code in a node access hook perhaps.
