In website operation, we often encounter such needs: different types of content or pages with different themes need to be presented in a unique way to better attract visitors, convey information, and even enhance the brand image.This involves the customization ability of templates. AnQiCMS (AnQiCMS) indeed provides strong and flexible support in this aspect, allowing users to set custom templates for pages of different categories, thus achieving differentiated content display.
The AnQi CMS template design system aims to provide users with high customizability. It adopts a template engine syntax similar to Django, files are written in.htmlWith the suffix, they are stored uniformly in the system's/templateUnder the directory. This design concept makes it easy for users who are not familiar with the Go language to easily get started with template creation.The system not only supports various modes such as adaptive, code adaptation, and independent sites for PC and mobile phones, but more importantly, it also delegates the template control permissions to various levels of content management.
Category page fine-tuned template customization
For the website category page, Anqi CMS provides a very flexible template specification method.Imagine your website has three main categories: "News and Information", "Product Display", and "Success Cases". You may want to display "News and Information" as a list of blog articles, complete with publication dates and summaries.The product display should highlight the product images, model, and price;And a 'successful case' might need a grid layout with pictures and text.In AnQi CMS, all these can be realized.
The system will apply a common template to the category list page under each content model (such as 'Article Model' or 'Product Model'), typically{分类模型}/list.html. When you want a specific category to have a unique visual presentation, you can find the 'Category Template' option in the edit interface of that category.Here, you can enter a custom template filename, for example, if you want to specify a unique display method for the product category with ID 10, you can create a file namedproduct/list-10.htmltemplate file and apply it to the category.
Further, AnQi CMS also considers the inheritance problem of the classification hierarchy.When setting up a custom category template, you can select whether to apply it to subcategories.This means that if you have multiple subcategories under a top-level category and you want these subcategories to follow the same unique template style, just check this option and you don't have to set them one by one, which greatly improves operational efficiency.At the same time, you can also specify a "document template" for all documents under a certain category to ensure that all content articles in that category follow specific display rules.
unique customization for individual content or page
The template customization capability of AnQi CMS is not limited to the classification level, but also extends to individual content articles and independent pages.
For example, there is an extremely important product introduction article on your website, or a special event page, and you hope that it can break away from the constraints of the conventional article template to have a unique visual experience.When adding or editing a document, you will see a "Document Template" field.Here, you can specify the custom template file to be used for this document, such asdownload.html. When the system accesses this document, it will load the exclusive template you specified to render the content, rather than using the default article template of its category.
For independent pages (such as "About Us", "Contact Information", etc.), AnQi CMS also provides similar mechanisms. By default, these pages may all usepage/detail.htmlThis is a general template. But if you want a special layout for the "About Us" page, or if the "Join Us" page needs to display specific form elements, you can create a namedpage/about.htmlorpage/join-us.htmlThe custom template file. Then, when creating or editing these independent pages in the background, specify the corresponding file name in the 'Single Page Template' field.This, each independent page can have its own "face".
The value of customized differentiated templates
Why should we carefully customize differentiated templates?
Firstly, it greatlyEnhanced user experienceWhen content of different types is presented in the most suitable way for its characteristics, users can obtain information more quickly and intuitively, reduce visual fatigue, and thereby improve the usability and user satisfaction of the website.
