please help!

I have tried different methods to accomplish this, and this is probably the best, but I'm a little stuck. I think I'm on the right track. Using views to output taxonomy terms to point to a custom views. I'm confused tho. Here's what I'm trying to do:

Create a new view of type "term". Add fields for tid and term, and output term as a link to "users/*/blog_categories/[tid]

I created a new view of type node (row type: teaser). Added arguments of uid and tid. Added path to page view of "users/%/blog_categories/%"

This gives me a blank page, though. What am I doing wrong? Can someone please help?

So if you go to users/1/blog_cateories/123 it returns nothing?

Basically it is need that your export your view, or better read the issue guidelines for views. There is a lot of stuff what you miss in your post.

Yes.. it returns nothing.

I know I'm missing something, but I have what I think is a valid concept. I do know it's not set up correctly which is why I'm coming here. It would be worthless to export the view since I know it's completely off. I need some help figuring out how to do what I'm trying to accomplish.

I don't see any "issue guidelines" in the views issues area. It drives me up the wall when pro Drupallers say "read the docs" or whatever, because all the documentation and guidelines are so scattered and convoluted, they're impossible for newcomers to figure out where to start! Can someone please hold my hand here and give me something more concrete to work with??

When you go to create a new issue in the Views queue, there is a link available.

The link to the submission guidelines are given to you right when you submit an issue. If you did not read them, then it is your error, not ours.

Finally, complaining to the people who might help you does not get you better, faster or more pleasant help.
