Drupal 6.x

Drupal 6.x investigate the roleassign.module

While producing a Drupal 6 version wouldn't require much effort, I hadn't considered doing so based on the limited amount of interest in the Drupal 5 version.

very interested in an upgrade to drupal 6

wish I knew more about module development, i guess its time to start looking into how to do this stuff.

Hi David,

You're in luck. I have decided to start work on porting this module to Drupal 6. It shouldn't take terribly long and is mostly dependent on my personal and professional obligations.

Spur development by becoming a sponsor and see your name in lights on the project page! A donation is always appreciated and can be submitted via PayPal to account johhan@comcast.net.

Cheers,
John

Hey, this is great news. This feature this module provides is essential to a new website I just started working on.

I don't have any donations to offer (sorry), but of course I am willing to help with any testing. Thanks for doing this!

Hi all,

I finally released the Drupal 6 compatible version of User-Selectable Roles. The initial release is tagged as 'dev', but I thoroughly tested everything and don't expect there to be any issues. Please give it a whirl and report your findings (good or bad.)

Thanks,
John

cool, I'll test it out later this week. Thanks man.

Everything seems to be working fine. I set up a custom role called "Test Role" and made this one of the selectable roles for users when signing up. I was then able to register a new account and select this role. The role was properly assigned and permissions functioned properly. Good job!

You might also notice that when editing an existing account, any roles that are not "user-selectable" (i.e. admin assigned) are preserved not matter which (if any) user-selectable roles are selected.

In any event thanks so much for the feedback. I will proceed to publish a full release this weekend.

Regards,
John

Full release now available.
