Hello,

I am very interested in a module that enables the sytem to inform registered users by email whenever someone new has joined who matches specific criteria. These criteria would be defined by each user manually. The matching is based on profile data.

Is there anyway to create such a feature with existing modules?

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Best Regards,

Just an update...

A module that matches different nodes based on taxonomy/cck field will be contributed in Jan/Feb 2008.

The users will be informed on the results of the matching by email notification or private message so they will always know if new INTERESTING content has been added to a drupal site..

This module is useful for:
- job websites (informing on new submitted matching jobs/applicants)
- dating websites (profile based, for example, users with same interests)
- auctions & shops (users can be informed, if a specific product is avaiable at a price X)
- market places (users can be informed, if a specific demand has been posted)
- ,,,

The matching criteria can be managed from the user account.

While it's not automated you can use taxonomy and freetagging to achieve somewhat the same idea. Basically, create a vocabulary for let's say "interests" and check off freetagging for the way terms are entered. So if you look at what a person put for their interests and click on the term, it will list other users who also entered that term.

Oh, I'm using advanced profile module with this and nodeprofile for my user profiles rather than core.

This is exactly what I need.
I haven't seen this module yet. Has anyone heard any updates?

Hey hi
You can use views for your job.
There are some modules like views saved searches & notification can be used.
Setup view to sort items say users by there created date & save search fields by views saved searches.
When new user comes then view will add it to your saved search, use views saved search notification to notify user about new node or user
by mail or sms with sms framework module.
I used all these in drupal 6.
