Description
you state in one version that you're not maintaining, but that changes might go into d6 port - does that mean that you are maintaining this for drupal 6?
this module solves a VERY specific problem in flow that i'm dealing with - allowing users to 'click a box' and in turn they will see (if desired) a new content type associated with a different role...would be wonderful, but i'm reluctant to install if it's on the backburner...
please advise!
thanks

Sorry the text of the release note is misleading. My initial plan was to only commit bug fixes back to the 5.x branch as I was hoping to move our site to 6.x as soon as it was released. As the release has taken longer than I expected and many other modules haven't yet been ported to 6.x I've actually been committing any changes to both branches.
My plan is still to stop development on the 5.x branch once 6.x is released. This module is functional for what I need, and appears to solve a problem for a few others as well, so as time allows I'll continue to maintain it. If anyone else would like to help maintain the code I'd be more than happy to have extra people helping out.

thanks - so to clarify, does it appear to work in current state on drupal6? it really is very useful - what i'm thinking about specifically is people who might want to blog but also write 'stories' for a news oriented community site - i don't want them to click 'create content' and feel overwhelmed by yet another option, but rather post a note that says simply go to profile edit and select 'story writer' to see that option (a user class that they can add themselves to that enables the story nodes etc)

As far as I know (one bug report aside) it works as advertised on 6.x. I'm in the process of getting a 6.x install up and running as my previous one got wiped and was a release candidate anyway. If anything doesn't work, I'll be fixing it, or will let you know here.

Any updates on this?

Wow, time flies. I guess this is officially on the back burner. Porting Role Control is still on my long list, but it hasn't bubbled up to the top yet, and probably won't until I upgrade our drupal installation. Does it not work for you?

i'm actually using autoassign role for what i need, it's more suitable to the task (select at login, user controlled - similar and functional) -haven't tested role control yet...
