G'Day:
Just checking to see if I've missed something in the way Location exposes its variables to Views...
Attempting to create a view, I go to add a field, choose the Location filter, and get all the Location fields avaialble through the CCK/Locative/Collection interface *except* the field "Additional"
I also see that in Views the group of Location variables includes something called "Address", which is presumably a "full address" version of the fields set up in the CCK stage.
However, I don't want a combined form of the address.
I just want to be able to pick out each of the fields and use them appropriately in my View. And at the moment, there is no access to "Additional"...
So imagine my surprise when I used the Views Bonus pack, CSV export, to create a data file... In this View (display type = Feed, format = CSV) I specifically chose only the fields:
Title
Street
City
Province
My exported data, however, also included the mysterious Additional...which was concatenated (post-pended) to the value for Street...thus making the data unusable!
Now:
1. Why isn't "Additional" shown in the Views/Location group?
2. Why does Additional get exported even when it is not specified?
Kind regards,
JB

I can confirm I can also not see the "additional" field option to display in Views. I also don't have the option for Telephone and Fax.
I'm using Location 6.x-3.1-rc1 and had Views 6.x-2.5, but have now upgraded to Views 6.x-2.6, which has made no difference.

please try the dev version. Post back with your results. Thanks.
