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

[Andrew Manson]

field_region is just a text field. It has a fixed number of possible 
values (input as a drop-down box).

You mention that taxonomy might have a better solution for this problem, 
I am not really that familiar with taxonomy so is there any chance you 
could describe the "simpler solution" you mentioned.

Thank you.
