I have created and event-enabled content type with CCK. That works fine, with one significant exception: I need the date and time entry fields up at the top of the form, not buried way down in the junk that no one will look at. How do I do this? If I drop the weights on the other CCK fields, all those other node/add fieldsets get intermingled throughout the entry areas.

You're using CCK?! I think my worldview is collapsing...

Hehe, ok, seriously, I asked for this before... http://drupal.org/node/145529 . If you want to fudge it in the mean time, you can edit the weights in the event.module. That's what I did, but you have to remember to redo it when you upgrade so it's not a long term solution.

Ya ya. Not only CCK, but Views as well. Run and hide, the sky is falling!

I know I can go in and hack the module, but with it changing frequently still, I'd like to avoid that.

Views, too? Noooooo! :)

I'm with you on that. I actually stopped bothering changing the weight after the first few times. I tried coding my feature request myself but got totally lost trying to figure out how location does it. I actually haven't done anything with event in the last couple weeks. Been distracted by other things. I plan to get back into it soon, though, and I can take another crack at figuring out the weight problem.

I tried to change the weight of the items too in event.module.

I can change the order of the event elements like start or stop time, event has time (which I don't really understand) but not the placement of all event information. It only changes in the area at the end of the form.

I thought it was a fieldgroup or something but I can't seem to figure it out.

Any guidance would be helpful.
