Hi, sorry for the delay in response. We're experiencing an unusually large number of tickets this weekend. I'll try my best to answer your questions.
-How do I create the proper URL structure?
Toolset is designed to work within the URL structures provided by WordPress. Complex structures like you're describing aren't part of the standard URL structure provided by WordPress, so it will require some custom code or another URL redirect plugin to accomplish what you're looking for. Otherwise, you will be required to manually create custom pages that match your directory structure using page hierarchy, and add custom Views to each page that represent the results that should be displayed on each page.
-How do I set up a hierarchical relationships so that the Gallery page shows all the profiles in the directory and Latin page show all the profiles from countries below it etc?
If you take the WordPress Page approach and manually create a hierarchy of custom pages, then I would assume you will use a custom hierarchical taxonomy to define the Regions and Countries. For example your Taxonomy terms might be:
-Latin
---Brazil
---Colombia
---Peru
-Central
---Mexico
---Panama
Then you can associate the terms "Latin" and "Brazil" to all profiles from Brazil, "Central" and "Mexico" to all profiles from Mexico, etc. To display profiles, you must create a View of Profiles, filtered by your custom taxonomy. Assuming your page slugs match your taxonomy term slugs, then you can use a term filter that queries for posts that have a taxonomy term that matches the current page slug. See the screenshot above for an example View using similar settings. Assume your post type is "Profiles" and your taxonomy name is "Locations".
This filter is set up to respond to a View shortcode attribute, which will define the term slug you want to filter against. So we need to pass the current Page's slug into the View shortcode like so:
[wpv-view name="your-view-slug" wpvlocation="[wpv-post-id]"]
The shortcode wpv-post-id is how you retrieve the ID of the current post or page, and we have passed that value in to a shortcode attribute, which in turn defines the filter in your View. Place this wpv-view shortcode on the "Brazil" or "Latin" custom page somewhere to see the results that match, or place that shortcode in a Content Template for all pages to see matching results on all pages.
