A new and smarter way to query the content.

[jcviau]

I think the way we setup a content query should be rethink.

Every component that generate contents should be merged and It should have a filter approach instead of a simple fetch THIS CONTENT from these simple rules.

The approach would be something like. I want to display articles from THIS and THIS Categories That contains THESE TAGS, Written By THESE USERS in between This DATE TO THIS DATE in a BLOG LAYOUT With all the possible settings of a Blog Layout or any other available LAYOUTS.

Plus It would be very relevant to be able to build multiple query on one page so we can make complex pages that render different queries and layouts.

Assuming you are referring to menu item options, I certainly second that concept.

Something like

Code: Select all

index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=8,9,15&daterange=20140616,20140830&tags=cats,pets,family&userid=52,62,76
