Change appearance, argument handling for Year + Month

You will probably need to create your own argument handler to get that working. Copying the default archive handler would be a start.

It is impossible to have 2008/07 as a separate argument. You'll have to use two different arguments, which should do pretty much what you need.

Can anyone help with the first part of that question: is there any way to change the displayed text for year + month to have the form "July 2008" rather than "July, 2008" (remove the comma)?

Thanks.

The archive argument year + month isn't suitable to produce a real archive like wordpress does.

Using year + month argument the block looks something like this:
Januar 2010
where the link is 201001 - which is unsuitable for a deep links archive. Imagine the page view which is formated
with seperat year and month argument, where the links are 2010/01. If you change the block view to that the block will not format like "January 2010" it will look like "2010" as the month is the second argument.

this is a show stopper for real archive functionality.

Then I guess you get to write your own.

It seems that this problem has been solved for the particular case of argument
Node : Année + mois de création

However, it still exists if other date fields are used - for example,
Date : Date (node) Contenu: Date limite (field_date_limite)

So, does anyone know what the original solution was and how it can be generalized -
I'm sifting through the code trying to find out where the format is set,
no joy so far...

Well, the answer to this question seems to be that it's not easy to get at that comma - it's reduced from the 'long' date format in the date module (function views_formats
in date_api_sql.inc). For now, my not-so-pretty solution is to put the date module in ./sites/mysite/modules/ and hack that function to override the date format (i.e.,
explicitly set $formats['display'] = 'F Y';)... kind of ugly, but it will have to do for now.

Re: #9 - you can configure your date formats at admin/settings/date-time/formats. No need to hack core. Simply add a new date format (without the commas) and then set the long date format to use your new format. See #656806: Commas in date summary views for more information.
