In the AnQi CMS, dynamic content of the website, such as keywords entered by users through the search boxqThe content, or the filter parameters generated by clicking the filter conditions, as well as the page number information in the pagination links, are all passed through URL query parameters.Ensure that these dynamically generated query parameters are correctly encoded, which is crucial for the normal operation of the website, user experience, and search engine optimization (SEO).

Why does the dynamic query parameter need to be correctly encoded?

URL (Uniform Resource Locator) is an address on the internet with a strict set of standards. When our dynamic query parameters contain some special characters, such as spaces,&Symbol,=Number,/Forward slash, or non-ASCII characters (such as Chinese), if they appear directly in the URL without processing, they may cause the following problems:

  1. URL parsing error: The browser or server may not be able to correctly identify these special characters, which may lead to broken links, users accessing incorrect pages, or even 404 errors.
  2. Query results are inaccurate: When the server parses unencoded parameters, it may misunderstand the query intent, for example, interpreting a parameter containing&The keyword symbol is incorrectly parsed as multiple parameters, resulting in search or filter results not matching expectations.
  3. User experience is compromisedWhen users encounter invalid links or incorrect search results, they may feel confused and frustrated, which can severely affect their trust in the website and their user experience.
  4. SEO issueThe search engine crawler will reduce the evaluation of the website and affect the ranking of the website in search results if it encounters a large number of invalid or incorrectly parsed URLs during the crawling and indexing of website content.Incorrect coding may also cause search engines to duplicate indexing of similar content, wasting crawl quota.

Therefore, URL encoding these dynamically generated parameters is a critical step to ensure they can be safely and accurately transmitted over the network. URL encoding converts special characters into%xxSuch a hexadecimal representation makes it conform to URL standards.

Intelligent processing of Anqi CMS: the 'behind-the-scenes hero' of built-in tags

It is reassuring that the Anqi CMS took this into consideration from the outset.As an enterprise-level CMS developed in Go language, it demonstrates excellent performance and security in handling dynamic content and generating links.For many common dynamic query scenarios, the built-in template tags of Anqi CMS have already done a lot of behind-the-scenes work for you, ensuring that the generated URLs are properly encoded.

For example, when you use it in a template,archiveListLabel to display document lists, whether according to search keywordsqFilter parameters, or pagination information, the label will intelligently handle the encoding issues of these parameters.

  • Search keywords：If your search form passes keywords to the URL inqParameters (e.g.,)/search?q=安企CMS教程），Anqi CMS will automatically process and generate page link whenqThe value of the parameter is URL encoded, no additional operation is required.
  • Filter parameters: ThrougharchiveFiltersLabel generated filter link, the parameter values will also be automatically encoded by CMS.For example, a link with a filter for "Type of Property" set to "Residential and Commercial
  • Pagination link:paginationPagination link generated by tags (such aspages.FirstPage.Link/item.Linkauto)），its internal page number parameters will also be automatically encoded by CMS to ensure the validity of the link.

This means that in most cases, as long as you follow the template tags and variable usage recommended by the security CMS, for example, by directly referencingitem.Link/val.Link/pages.FirstPage.LinkThese links generated by the system do not require manual concern about URL encoding. The Aqy CMS has already done this important work for you.

When you need to manually construct a URL:urlencodeThe filter is your reliable assistant

Although the built-in tags of AnQi CMS are very intelligent, you may need to manually concatenate URLs in some specific advanced customization scenarios, for example:

  • You are developing a highly customizable JavaScript frontend search function, which requires JS code to dynamically construct the URL and jump.
  • You need to generate a special link pointing to the Safe CMS site in an external system that is not Safe CMS.
  • You manually constructed a complex query string in the template, instead of generating a link through built-in tags.

In these cases, you need to actively use the CMS template engine provided by安企urlencodeFilterto ensure the correct encoding of parameters.

urlencodeThe filter can convert any string content to a URL-safe format. Its usage is very intuitive:

{# 假设 custom_keyword 是一个可能包含特殊字符的变量 #}
{% set custom_keyword = "安企 CMS 教程 & 安全" %}

{# 构建一个搜索链接，并对关键词进行URL编码 #}
<a href="/search?q={{ custom_keyword|urlencode }}">搜索 "{{ custom_keyword }}"</a>

{# 另一个示例，如果参数值从URL中获取，但需要再次用于新的URL构建 #}
{% set current_q = urlParams.q %} {# 假设 urlParams.q 获取到的是原始未编码的关键词 #}
<a href="/custom-filter?category=新闻&q={{ current_q|urlencode }}">重新筛选新闻</a>

In the above example,custom_keyword|urlencodeIt will"安企 CMS 教程 & 安全"Encoded as"安企%20CMS%20教程%20%26%20安全"Make sure the generated URL is completely valid.

auto providediriencodefilter, it works withurlencodesimilar, but there are slight differences in the handling of characters in some internationalized resource identifiers (IRI). This is often used when dealing with complex URLs that contain a large number of non-ASCII characters (such as Chinese domain names or paths). However, it is not usually needed for the encoding of conventional query parameters,urlencodeIt is usually the preferred and strong enough option.

Practice & Tips

  1. Prefer using the built-in tags of the Aanq CMS.This is the simplest and safest method. WhenarchiveList/archiveFilters/paginationetc. tags provide link variables (such asitem.Link/val.LinkPlease use them directly, as these links have been carefully encoded by the CMS.
  2. Always test your dynamic links：No matter whether you use built-in tags or manually construct the URL, make sure to test the generated link under different browsers and scenarios. Especially when the parameter value contains spaces,&/=When there are Chinese characters such as 、, it is more important to check carefully.
  3. Understand the rules of pseudo-statics：Security CMS supports powerful pseudo-static rule configuration.These rules determine the overall structure of the URL.Dynamic query parameters are usually appended to the end of a pseudo-static URL.Understand your pseudo-static settings can help you better predict the final form of the URL.
  4. Pay attention to form submissionmethod: When the form usesGETMethod submission will directly append the user's input as query parameters to the URL. If you are using a custom form, and the keywords may contain special characters, make sure to build the form'sactionProperty or JavaScript used to submit forms, keywords are appropriately encoded, or directly rely on the security CMS form processing mechanism.

By using the above method, you can ensure that the dynamic query parameters on the security CMS website are always correctly encoded, thus providing your users with a smooth and reliable access experience, and offering a friendly and clear website structure to search engine crawlers.

Common Questions (FAQ)

1. Why do the links generated by the built-in tags of AnQi CMS not require me to use them manually?urlencodeFilter?

This is because AnQi CMS has already designed these commonly used built-in tags (such asarchiveList/archiveFilters/pagination）Generating links automatically completes URL encoding. When you obtain these labels, their values are already encoded URLs and can be used safely directly.item.Link/val.LinkWhen you get variables such as these, their values are already encoded URLs and can be used safely directly.

2. If I pass Chinese keywords through URL parameters for search, can Anqi CMS identify them correctly?

Yes, AnQi CMS can correctly identify and process Chinese keywords in URLs. As long as these Chinese keywords are correctly URL-encoded in the URL (for example, "AnQi CMS" would be encoded as%E5%AE%89%E4%BC%81CMS），Security CMS的后端就能正确解码并进行搜索。如前所述，通过内置标签生成的链接会自动处理这种编码。

3. What are the specific impacts on a website's SEO caused by encoding errors in dynamic query parameters?

Encoding errors can cause search engine crawlers to fail to correctly parse your URL, which may result in the following situations:

  • The page cannot be accessed or the content is missing：The crawler may not be able to reach or index the page content you expect.
  • Duplicate content issueIf encoding errors result in multiple URLs pointing to similar content, search engines may consider them duplicate content, affecting page authority.
  • Keyword ranking dropsThe search engine cannot accurately understand the content of the page and its related query words, which affects the ranking of keywords.
  • Crawling quota wasteThe crawler will take more time to try to parse invalid URLs, reducing the efficiency of capturing valid content from the website.
