How do I get the profile roles module for version 5.x this modules is listed in the module download section for version 6.x only. I need this functionality for my live web site. What I am needing to accomplish is for a subscriber to my site to be presented a drop down list of profile field choices upon registering to my site. Based on these choices will determine what role they are assigned to. Once this has been accomplished these users will have certain profile fields available to them based upon the role they have selected upon signing up. I think Profile Roles modules accomplishes this but only for version 6.x I am not quite ready to upgrade to that version. Any help greatly appreciated, thanks

You either have to backport the module on your own.
Ask the developer to backport for you

or hire someone to backport it for you.

Hi hugafish, I don't suppose you had any luck finding a solution? A backport or possibly an alternate module?

I too am looking for this exact same functionality in a D5 build that I am doing.

Many thanks

Try this link out it worked for me. I still have some custom fields that are present on sign up that don't apply to some types of users. I figure they are smart enough to leave them blank if they don't apply to them. Maybe I will try to fix this with some sort of logic drop down box later. This module is working good for me so far though.

Thanks for the reply hugafish.

I managed to get in touch with the maintainer of the Profile Role module (boombatower) and enquired about a backport. He offered to do this for a very reasonable fee.

However, due to developements with my project I decided to move the whole site build across to Drupal 6 anyway and ended up making use of the already working Profile Role module.

I'm actually using Profile Role in addition to the module you have just listed (autoassignrole) - for me these two modules have made the perfect combination as users can now select which account type they want and are then presented with the appropriate options.

Yes I am on the verge of committing over to Drupal 6 as well. I have a need to use the AjaxIM module which requires Ruby Rails, I have found a site that has it enabled so I might as well jump to Drupal 6 too and kill two birds with one stone. This will also be good for all of the other modules as well. I just hope it is easy to move over a live Drupal 5 site to a Drupal 6, will have to do some reading up on it. Good luck with your upgrade too.
