What type of field is field_region? You may have better luck if field_region is a nodereference field, where the regions are nodes and the product nodes refer to the region nodes. Views attach http://drupal.org/project/views_attach may be of use to show products for a given region or vice versa.

A simpler solution could be to use taxonomy instead.

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
