I am looking for a combination of the archive view and the taxonomy_term view to create a view that shows a monthly archive of content related to a taxonomy term.
The terms would come from the vocabulary "location" that I have created so that I first get a list of the terms and when I click one of them I get to the according archive.
I managed to manipulate the taxonomy_term view to show only the content of the content type I wanted sorted descending by poste date. But this is not enough as I want the clear archive architecture like the archive view.
I also experimented with the archive view and reduced it to a certain content-type and added a new argument "taxonomy term" but I never managed to make the combination I wanted.
Now I experimented for hours with the different views, created attachments (yieks!), watched a lot of vids and reread all my bookmarked resources about arguments and views. As a result I am now completly lost and really dizzy. I am aware that I have not understood the concept behind this all completly but I am trying really hard and could use some guidance.
My efforts always result in a view that gives me the list of location terms (good) and a click on them brings a "page not found" (bad).
As far as I understand the url of the content should resemble the wished structure to be "hackable" but I cannot figure how to get the vocab-term into the path. Right now I am pretty tired and it is very likely that all the stuff is completly mashed together in my brain.
So please:
Is it possible to create such a view that gives my monthly archives for different terms? Or is such a combination (basically this are two views, aren't they?) not creatable?
What am I missing?

This is exactly what i did. I cloned the 'archive' view that comes with views, added an argument for "Taxonomy: Term", moved it above the existing date argument, and selected a default of 'summary, ascending'. Is that not it?
Well, that is exactly what I
Well, that is exactly what I figured out to be the solution. I get stuck with the list of terms. Clicking on them results in a page not found error. Somewhere I might have done something wrong or more likely forgot something.
At least I now know that it is possible. I'll try again.
Oh man, I am really getting
Oh man, I am really getting to punish myself severly.
Everything worked well doing it the simple way. All my tries included messing with some other options (e.g. validator) and therefore I could not get it to go. I don't even know why I did it directly that way I can only guess that I might have read something and made wrong connections.
So basically I burned a lot of time because I messed with options I did not understand. God, sometimes I could slap myself.

lol-- give yourself a break. Playing around with options is how you learn. Just realize, sometimes when you get stuck, just starting over can be the solution. ;-)
Hey i am working on something
Hey i am working on something similar but the link created by the view always point to my home page??
When i click the link in the views preview i get redirected to the correct page but when i have the view in a block on a different page it send me to the home page.
I have a argument node:Created year + month and filters Node: Type = Blog if this helps.
Help would be greatly appreciated!

Not sure if you fund a solution but this helped me: http://drupal.org/node/231038.
I tried to import the view but it didn't work (it might work for you.) so I used the view on this page http://drupal.org/node/52037 instead and used the php argument from the first link and added "User: UID is Author" to my arguments. Make you move the "User: UID is Author" argument above "Node: Posted Month + Year". Goodluck!
