thanks quiller, sounds like I may be on the right track! I'll
be sure to check out Content Profile as well.

Subject: Re: [support] User Directory using Views and Advanced Profile
Module
All of the functionality you
describe is possible using Views. I haven't personally used Advanced Profile,
so I can't vouch for how well it integrates with Views. You may want to
consider using Content Profile, as well, which treats user profiles like nodes,
and thus they are configurable using CCK.

You should be able to use Content Profile, Advanced Profile and Views all
together, but I'll leave that question for somebody more experienced with these
modules.

Hello everybody - my first question to this list!
I'm trying to set up a User Directory in Drupal 6, and from what I can tell,
Views and the Advanced Profile Modules are looking like a good route to
take. I'd like users to be able to sort through the directory based on
info entered into their user profiles. For example, the users will be
volunteers and volunteer orgs - so I'd like to be able to sort by that
criteria, as well as things such as "sort list by volunteers available
during morning hours" or "volunteers with program mgmt
experience." etc. etc.
Lastly, I'd like for users with Admin privileges to be able to use the
directory to email or private message individual users or large groups of users
that they've sorted (e.g.: volunteers available in the morning).
Are the Views and Advanced Profile modules a good option for creating this
type of directory? And I've set up private messaging on my site, but what
will I have to do to integrate it with my directory after I've built it?
And does anybody know of any tutorials on setting up user directories for D6
I'm familiar with the Views module, but haven't used it much, so assuming it’s
the right module - any other general suggestions would be helpful too!
Thanks for any ideas or suggestions!
