I may be misunderstanding as I'm a long way from being a Drupal/PHP expert but I thought validation of CCK fields happens in the hook_field function when the op is 'validate'.

As far as I can see no validation at all takes place in the location_cck_field function.

This seems to have the effect that, in my use case, despite the fact I want the user to be forced into populating the latitude and longitude fields they can leave them blank and the node is still committed.

I am quite willing to have a go at fixing it but I don't know if...

a) I'm on the right track with the issue being lack of hook_field (validate) code
b) How you access the various values entered on the form

If anyone can give me a clue to how to get at the values that I can play with then I'll have stab at least of getting some basic validation that can be built upon.

Nearly two weeks passed. No one else care? I'm I wrong?

Please check to see if this is still a problem in the new release. If it is, reply with a new summary and set the status back to active.

(Hopefully, we will clear out a lot of issues that are old and fixed in the newest release and be able to fixate on a few issues that are valid still. Thanks for your helping figuring out which kind of issue this is.)
