I have taxonomy terms for country and state/province.

I am curious why I have to have the country drop down above the map where they select their location. Is there a way to turn it off?

It is odd for the user to select country twice.

Thanks,
JM

Are you using location as a CCK field or just within the node?

This is for Drupal 6.x

If your location is within the node, go to your content type > edit screen and find "locative information" click on it if it is not expanded. You should see "collection settings". Click on it to expand it. Here you can set the fields you want to display. You have the option of do not collect, allow, require, force default.

In CCK you should have the same selections when you create the field.

I was having a pretty egregious time with it as a CCK field and gave up.

So I am using it as a block.

There is no 'do not collect' option in this mode. As a CCK field there is a 'do not collect' option?

I am little weary as last time I used it as a CCK field I ended up deleting my entire site and starting over. Not sure if it was entirely that module to blame, but it was the only thing I seemed to be able to do, at least with my level of knowledge.

Will look at it again.

I also noticed that I somehow have 3.1. RC1, and on the project page it is 3.0. I am not even sure how I ended up with it.....

Thanks,
JM

As a block, how are your users entering their data?

You do not have to use it as a CCK field. You can use the setting for the content type. On the edit screen for your content type, you should see "locative information". Your collection and display controls are there.

Sorry, I was wrong about the Country. That is one field you cannot hide. However, You could hide it on the form with some css. Not ideal, but it would hide it from your users.

Cool thanks, I didn't see that thread.

It looks like one of those quirky things...

Thanks,
