The module role signup allowed selecting the type of role with a url like /user/register/role/1. This allowed us to create an introduction page for each type of account that permitted the user choosing the type of account (role).

Can we have this functionality back?

Thanks,
introfini

Allowing modules to use urls to perform selection criteria presents a security risk I'm not willing to introduce into this module. Redirecting during the registration process might also short circuit other modules that need to fire. I'd be open to alternative suggestions on how to accomplish this functionality for you, but will not implement it as you describe.

Cyber, what if the paths aren't creating user with roles that could be destructive. What if it doesn't matter if users sign up for either role?

For example, a website that allows one person to be a seller and another to be a buyer. Similar to ebay.

Drupal 6 have this ability (remember the ASSIGN ROLE FROM URL function that has version 6 of this module, or maybe it was some patch for it). Why is there no possibility to make the same for ver. 5 of this module?

I'd be more than happy to include this functionality if a proper patch is supplied. If you want this fixed roll a patch.
