Hi everybody.
I am looking for the way to insert field type linked to Taxonomy's Tags/Categories to allow administrator to include this field into user profile page. This also will make possible to ask user to type his personal Tags during registration.
Anyone who has any idea - please, reply.

Not necessary
It is not necessary to use the taxonomy module for this purpose; profile.module has this functionality built in.
Enable a freeform text area. Make it mandatory and part of the registration process. Make the information public and available to user list pages.
Example: http://drupal.org/profile/interest/linux
Not at all
Hi. Thank you for your reply.
My web-site's whole structure is based on Tags. Tags also represent User's Interests. Users are being matched based on Interests (Tags). So, my request above is intended to get this information (tags = interests) during registration process AND update corresponding fields in database.
The trick is that I can easily write this script for custom built web-site, but I need this for Drupal.
I was browsing for the solution in Drupal web-site, but found nothing. Then an idea came up - if I could make a field, linked to Taxonomy's tags part of User Profile - profile.module would care about my data.
Need real server security? Get in touch
any luck?
I understand your use case here ivan, I am looking for the same - with an extensive site taxonomy I ideally need the user profile to hook into it seamlessly as users are referenced by interest and interest hooks into category areas. Still looking for options here so sorry I couldn't directly help.
If you want ...
If you want to relate a taxonomy to a user, you would have to install one or more of the contributed modules that treat users as nodes.
See http://groups.drupal.org/profiles-as-nodes
cheers
I just stumbled on the bio module which does exactly that - associate CCK taxonomy fields with the bio content type.

PS
thanks for the link by the way, some interesting options there for evaluation.
Thanks again
How does this work
Hi,
how did you configure the profile-fields so that they can link to each other eg. the field country has a link to
/profile/<fieldname>/<fieldvalue>and that there is a list of users with this<fieldvalue>showing up?Regards,
Manuel

You can use user_terms
You can use user_terms module for this use-case. With user terms, every taxonomy set as "tags" in contet managment > taxonomy will appear as autocomplete widget in your account form

User Terms - Drupal 7?
I was excited to find this answer that was posted just a few days ago, but unfortunately there isn't currently a version of User Terms compatible with Drupal 7.
I'm desperately trying to get the taxonomy in my user profiles to show up in search results for those tags. Any help would be much appreciated.

User tagging
Hi,
I've read about to create a map of user interests... I needed the same thing some days ago, and I've created a simple module that automate the user tagging, reading them from the nodes the user visit, and adding them to a taxonomy terms field in the user profile. Maybe it can help you. The sand box link to my project is http://drupal.org/sandbox/hiryu/1977374
