[support] Help in using Location module

[daniel bareket]

Hi again,
So-
I've tried your suggestion, and it seems to work almost perfectly.
The only problem now is that when I'm editing the view of the second type
nodes, I can display the node that contains the location data, but I didn't
find a way to make location-based manipulations. I can do them is the first
type nodes and it  will work, but what about location-based search? I would
like this to be available also, and right now Drupal still doesn't
recognize the location as belong to the second type node.
Thanks,
Daniel
