[support] Pathauto, Menu Trails, Views and the active menu item

[Andrew Manson]

Hi all,

I have already asked this "quick" question in the IRC but even while I 
was typing it I felt it was more mailing list material... Right here goes:

I have some path aliases set up using PathAuto where the url will be of 
the form: data_products/[field_region-raw]/[title-raw] . This comes out 
in the format data_products/namerica/product1 when viewing the node. The 
data_products/ url is actually a view and the [field_region-raw] acts as 
a view argument so going to data_products/namerica would so all products 
in north america.

What I would to have is a Menu Item "North America" that will be 
highlighted when you go to the url data_products/namerica/ and the url 
data_products/namerica/product1 .

I have been looking around Google quite a bit but I can't find anything 
that meets my needs but I think that I just have a lack of understanding 
and don't really know what I should be looking for. Can anyone point me 
in the right direction?

Regards,
- Andrew
