Implement cnQuery #438

Open shazahm1 opened 9 years ago

shazahm1 commented 9 years ago

This is a new class with the intention to mimic WP_Query

ref: http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query

Just like WP_Query it should be responsible for parsing the query vars but obviously only the ones registered to Connections. The parsed results should apply a filter to either the [connections] shortcode options or the cnRetrieve::entries() method. On that thought ... maybe cnQuery should replace cnRetrieve. It would be good to start fresh since there's a lot of ugly code in cnRetrieve.

cnQuery should include all the similar filters that WP_Query does.

When this is introduced, there should be an attribute parse_query which can be set (bool) to determine whether or not the query vars should be used.

Part of this implementation an action should be added on the core WP parse_query hook to set the cnQuery class properties. The parse_query attribute mentioned in https://github.com/Connections-Business-Directory/Connections/issues/438#issuecomment-74004439 will determine if the should be used or not.
