Hello Bostonians- I am building an artist portfolio site with the usual suspects (views, cck, etc.; + draggable views, which is awesome BTW) and am beating my head against a brick tree here. My client has four types of artwork, which are tagged in taxonomy as Photographs, Paintings, etc. She now would like albums within those categories, and I thought, keen, I'll use Taxonomy to create a second vocabulary of albums.
I'm now creating the views to display these albums with Views Arguments, linking through the path /photographs/album/% and for some reason Views isn't looking at my new vocabulary- if I pass in a term from the Album vocabulary, it returns the empty text; when I select
• Summary, sorted ascending
and don't provide an argument, the view only lists terms from the first vocabulary (type of artwork).
I tried to get around this using Content Taxonomy, but it only recognizes term ID's from my second vocabulary, not the term itself, so right now I'm just trying to get it to work in Taxonomy.
On this page, on the middle right, you can see a node with two terms: (type= photograph, album = trilogies)
http://studiocecile.com/photographs/album/all?page=2
but it doesn't show up when I ask for the term Trilogies
http://studiocecile.com/photographs/album/Trilogies
while asking for the term Photograph returns everything it should:
http://studiocecile.com/photographs/album/photograph
Any help would be much appreciated and rewarded with beer. Or beer money.

Possible Solution
I reproduced a problem that is at least similar to yours on a site I have also using taxonomy arguments to Views. I think the answer might be simply that you must have as many "Taxonomy: Term" arguments in your view as arguments you wish to accept. In other words if you only have a single instance of "Taxonomy: Term" under your arguments, only a single argument will be taken. If you have 2 "www.mysite.com/view/arg1/arg2" with only a single "Taxonomy: Term" you are going to get the output like you only had put in arg1. For a simplified example take a look at: taurus.travisgriffiths.com
And the solution is...
Turns out the only thing I needed to change was to check the "Allow multiple arguments to work together." box in the argument section. The path still has a single argument, photographs/album/%/default and I'm only acknowledging one argument in the arguments section, but that damn little box needs to be checked. Don't get it.
THanks so much for investigating. How and in what form shall I send your beer equivalents?
