Description
tnx for a great, simple module!
i am making a site with rather different user groups and having some challenges making their individual profile pages as user friendly and accessible as possible (its a library site for blind/dyslectics and deaf so i have rather different options for each group). I appreciate your module very much but still can't figure out how to solve to tasks:
- create rolespecific nodes for different (more than one) profiles
- create a menu-item (corresponding the default 'my account' in the navigation menu) for new rolespecific nodes
This way i could completely customize the way users control individual settings; I know it may be outside the scope of your module, but i think its a general issue in drupal that this is rather difficult to do

As reported in another issue, the multiple relationships thingie can be realised with the rules module. Because of this, I wanted to stop development (of new features) on this module first, but as rules doesn't work for me (yet) and is quite extended, I will add the multiple part to this module.
I want to stress again that this module doesn't create any kind of node, it just defines a "relationship" between a node and a role. (Yes, I know the name is a bit misleading there and I should have thought about it more). So for your purpose, you'll have to create different content_profiles (or other nodes) for every role and then link them with this module when multiple relationships are implemented.
For the menu-item: I'm not really planning on implementing this at the moment, but if you use content_profile, you can add the information on the content_profile (or a link to it) to the "my account" page, just look at content_profile's settings.

Any update on this? I'm REALLY interested in this functionality!

I've been quite busy the last couple of months, so I only focused on bugfixes for this module. Hopefully, starting mid-december I'll have some more time to work on this module and add some new features. Sorry for the wait!

No problem. Real life, it happens. :)
