Hey All,
I'm working in Drupal 5x and am looking to create/expand the user profile information and then create a directory based on those users.
My requirements:
* Expand the fields to more of a typical contact (address, phone, mobile, im, email, location, web site etc)
* Only certain user roles can see content
* ordered alphabetically
* bonus would be sortable by other fields and searchable
I saw the Profile module, but that seemed to only support drupal 6.
Other folks seem to say use views/nodes, others say that this method is overkill.
Anyway any thoughts, guidance, etc would be great.

of course ...
Of course after I submit this I find this:
http://drupal.org/project/usernode
Which seems to do what I'm looking to do ... any reasons not to try using this?

civicrm

i hadn't ..
I hadn't thought about it, the only reason being I hadn't heard of it ye! I'll check it out. Thanks!
Optional core module
Profile is also an optional core module in Drupal 5; lets you add fields to user profiles. The permissions are not separable though - you can give role-based access to people to view user profiles, but if they can see a user profile, they can see all the info.
Also you can do some display config, such as sorting and searching, with this module. It's not all that great, but it does work.

i would not recommend
i would not recommend profile module, and instead would recommend a combination of usernode and node profile for drupal5. Civicrm would work too, but it adds alot of overhead and its own learning curve.
nodeprofile basically lets you create a cck content type that is associated with a user
