  I am upgrading a site from .764 to Zikula 1.1.1. The previous site used advProfile and I have a good number of custom plugins created for it.
  
  I suppose I could hack zikula to use it as a profile the same way it was done in .764, but it seems now that Zikula has support for designating a module for user profiles. How would I go about getting Zikula to recognize and use advProfile as a valid profile module?

  Have you checked to see if myProfile can fill your needs? As I recall, what you'll have to do is flag it, in the init or version file as a profile module so that it can be set in settings. Then the function names need to mirror the names in the Profile module. So function profile_user_somefunction would be advprofile_user_somefunction in advprofile. That allows the system to call it right.

  No, haven't looked at myProfile. My understanding is that dynamic user data is now bound into Profile, so if I switch to myProfile won't I lose that? In any case, I would think that I would still need to redo the plugins and templates for it, same as Profile.
  
  What you describe for making advProfile a "profile" module seen my Zikula is not worth the effort for a "dead" module. If I'm going to do that much work I'll do it in something with a brighter future.
