configuring content_profile

The site that I am working on currently was using the profile module.  The problem with this module was that the user had to be created first, before the user can manage those profile fields.  Create User, Login in, finish profile creation.  This 2 step registration process was not going to fly.  Here is the module in question:  http://drupal.org/handbook/modules/profile

I did some searching and came across the content_profile module,  http://drupal.org/project/content_profile  I installed it and it works great!  I associated my Taxonomy to my profile, and the taxonomy select field is on my registration form!

There are 2 Gotchas!

After you install this module, there is a new content type created called "Profile", but this is not set as the User Profile content type by default.  You need to edit the newly created Profile content type and check the new checkbox that will set this content type as a user profile.  Once you do that, save your content type.

A new tab will appear on your Profile for managing the User Profile settings.  Here, you can set up to use this as the user registration, etc..
