The weight select to make the gmap edit form appear lower in the content creation form do not work. Now the Gmap edit part is sitting right on top of my node creation form before the name even and I cannot get it to move down. It also sits on top of my completed node and I cannot move that down either.

The Gmap module from what I've heard is suppose to inform cck about itself so that when working with the cck interface that the option is there to move the map and collection boxes up or down in the list. Now it is on top of the node creation form even before the title.

Please inform me of how to fix this.

This is what someone wrote to me:
Once CCK is installed, it takes over the weights of all top level elements in the node edit form (and node view). But CCK cannot guess these extra elements by itself. Modules need to tell this information to CCK using hook_content_extra_fields($type_name).

I'm a little confused on your Q.

rc1 seems to have weights only -10 to 10, which is somewhat limited at this point (I'm trying to patch now, if I don't find that someone else has fixed). Otherwise, it seems to interact normally with cck etc., that is, I don't observe the behaviors you seem to describe. Please clarify, or perhaps try a test setup (clean start, no other modules, basic theme).

Yours,

I am having the same issue. The location group is above the title. It doesn't matter what I change the weight to in the location settings on the edit content type page. It uses to work until I moved a CCK field above the title by accident. I moved it back, but now the Title Field is below the Location field when you want to create content. Viewing content is fine.

Any ideas?

When you create a content type using cck and you add fields to it then you can move those fields around and place the one above the other and so on. If you've enabled the location section on your content type and you then move the fields around after a while the location goes and sits on top. Even if your then make it's weight heavier 0 < it stays on top and you cannot move it down. Thus when some wants to create an instance of your newly created content type they see the location part first even before the title. I hope this is clear enough
