Manually updating it every year is not only cumbersome but also prone to omissions. 幸运的是，using Anqi CMS, we can easily implement the dynamic display of copyright information, so that the information at the bottom of the website is always up-to-date.

Why is dynamic copyright information so important?

AnQi CMS is a modern content management system developed based on the Go language, which provides strong support for content operations with its high efficiency, customizability, and easy scalability.It has a flexible template engine and rich built-in tags, which is the core tool for us to implement dynamic copyright information.

Implement step by step dynamic copyright year and information display

Next, we will go through several simple steps, using the template tag function of Anqí CMS, to dynamically display copyright information and the current year at the bottom of the website or other areas.

Step 1: Locate the template file

The template files of AnQi CMS are usually stored in/templateUnder the directory. To achieve a unified display of copyright information throughout the website, we usually modify the public footer file of the website. This file is usuallybash.html(Used to define common inherited parts such as headers and footers), or find a file named in your template theme directoryfooter.htmlor a file with a similar name, which contains the website footer code.

If you are not sure which file it is, you can find and open the HTML file most likely to contain footer code in the "Template Design" area of the background management interface through the online editing feature.

Step two: Insert the current year label

Anqi CMS provides a very practicalnowLabel, you can directly output the current time. To display the current year, you just need to specify the format.

In the footer template file you find, replace the position where the year needs to be displayed with the following code:

{% now "2006" %}

Here2006It is a specific time format string used in Go language to represent the year. This tag automatically retrieves and outputs the current year.

Step 3: Display custom copyright information

In addition to the year, we usually need to display the copyright statement of the website, the website name, and other information.The Anqi CMS provides the "Global Function Settings" in the background, which includes the "Website Name" and "Copyright Content" fields for easy unified management.We can go throughsystemLabel to retrieve this information.

In the footer template, you can use the following tags to get the website name and the copyright content set in the background:

{% system with name="SiteName" %}

This will display the website name set in the background.

{% system with name="SiteCopyright" %}

This will display the copyright content you entered in the background "Global Feature Settings".

If your copyright content may contain HTML tags (for example, to bold or add links), to ensure that these HTML tags are parsed correctly by the browser rather than displayed as plain text, please outputSiteCopyrightUsed at|safefilter.

{% system siteCopyrightText with name="SiteCopyright" %}{{ siteCopyrightText|safe }}

Here we will assign the copyright content tositeCopyrightTextthe variable, then through|safeFilter output.

Fourth step: integrate and improve the bottom area

Now, we combine the year label and the copyright information label to build a complete bottom copyright area.A common copyright format is “© [current year] [website name]. All Rights Reserved. [custom copyright content]”.

You can integrate it like this in your footer template file:

<div class="footer-copyright">
    &copy; {% now "2006" %} {% system with name="SiteName" %}. All Rights Reserved.
    {% system siteCopyrightContent with name="SiteCopyright" %}{{ siteCopyrightContent|safe }}
</div>

This code snippet will dynamically display the current year, followed by the website name set in your background, then the common 'All Rights Reserved.', and finally the copyright supplement information customized in your background.

Step 5: Save and Preview

After the modification is completed, please save your template file. If you are editing online in the background, usually clicking save will take effect.If you modify the file via FTP or other methods, you may need to clear the AnQi CMS system cache (in the "Cache Update" function of the background management interface), then refresh the website frontend page, and you will see that the copyright information at the bottom has been dynamically updated.
