Configuration

Location module

• Configure the general location settings at Administer > Site configuration > Location (admin/settings/location).
• Configure map link settings at Administer > Site configuration > Location > Map links (admin/settings/location/maplinking). Map links are displayed with locations and link to an external mapping website. When the link is clicked the user is taken to the mapping website and the corresponding location is loaded into it. Map link settings are per country.
• Configure the geocoding settings at Administer > Site configuration > Location > Geocoding options (admin/settings/location/geocoding). Geocoding is used to automatically calculate latitude/longitude coordinates based on a given address. When geocoding is enabled a user can enter address details for a location and then on saving the page the module tries to automatically populate the latitude/longitude values using geocoding. Geocoding settings are per country.
• There is a Location Utilities page at Administer > Site configuration > Location > Location Utilities (admin/settings/location/util). This page currently provides the ability to clear province and country list caches if you modify the lists for your website.
• Set user permissions:
  • submit latitude/longitude: Allows users to enter data into the latitude and longitude locations fields, either directly or with a map using the gmap module. To allow users to add longitude and latitude values while registering, the anonymous user role must have this permission.
  • view location directory: Allows users to view the location_directory view, which is a default view provided by the location module.
  • view node location table: Allows users to view the location_table view, which is a default view provided by the location module.
  • view user location table: Allows users to view the user_location_table view, which is a default view provided by the location module.

Node Locations module

Node locations are configured per node type on the node type administration pages. For example, for the page content type, node locations are administered at Administer > Content management > Content types > Page (admin/content/node-type/page). Here you can set settings for number of locations, location fields to collect, location fields to display and RSS settings for locations.
Note: Node locations and CCK locations cannot be used on the same node type.
To disable node locations for a node type set the max number of locations to zero for that node type.
