Greetings Wundo!

I've downloaded the latest revision of profile-ng.module and am going to use it in my new drupal 5.0 project.
I have resources to port this module to 5.0 as well as implement new features of core profile 5.0.

If noone is working on this task at the moment I can take it and will complete everything in the beginning of the next week.

Do you have any objections?

I have problems with standard profile module and interested in trying this one. Please go ahead and port it to 5.X.

Greetings,

I've ported profile-ng module for Drupal 5.0 and also merged it with improvements from core profile 5.0. This is some kind of combination of core profile 5.0 and profile-ng 4.7 (by Wundo).

I also included two modules to demonstrate an ability to create custom fields:
1. advlist - advanced dropdown list, enables lists with keys.
2. jsdate - a date field which creates a single textfield with class 'jscalendar' unlike three drop down lists populated by core profile. PROBLEM: For now, it saves dates in a string representation (not timestamps). I didn't yet find the way how to do it gracefuly.

Wundo, please review these changes. If everything is okay I will commit all these stuff.

P.S. The file is ZIP archive.

Thanks.

I would like to understand the future of Profile Extended module. Looks like our work is not useful because approach 'everything is a node' is better. What do you think about that?

Profiles aren't nodes.

Implementing users profiles such nodes is tempting error. If profiles are nodes, why users aren't?
Why keep different tables for that?

This is very tempting 'cause everyone knows that there are many useful and great modules for that, but linking each user to one node is a very ugly kludge.

So, we need profile module to be as powerfull as CCK and extensible as well. It should have all field plugins as well. This means a huge amount of work.

Did you try nodeprofile.module in action? I would like to know your opinion.
