I am not sure if this is a feature request or a question of how I should approach this. I am currently using the bio module on 5.7 and recently decided to add gmap and location modules. I would like to include the prompts for address info on the registration page. The location module doesn't add the address fields as CCK elements, so they are not accessible in bio. Here are my two thoughts...
option 1) collect address fields via CCK elements and write my own module to do geo lookup and store lat/long (like the location module does w/gmap)
option 2) modify bio module to understand one-off location module fields

Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

Sorry, but I'm not going to build in exceptions for every arbitrary module people might be using. :( On the plus side, I believe an "Address" field is in the works for Location module.

However, you could look at bio's form_alter function for an idea of how to add additional fields to the registration forms, and build a custom bridge module to do that.

However, I /thought/ Location module already had a setting somewhere that did this? I could be wrong though; it's been awhile since i used it.

Thanks for the feedback and the ideas of how to work around this.
You are correct that the location module does have an address field built into it. Unfortunately, it does not provide a mechanism to include those fields as required fields in the registration process (user must navigate to them manually).

Thanks again,
Derrick
