How to control whether the website name suffix is attached to the home page title in the AnQiCMS home page TDK settings?
The homepage title (Title) is one of the key elements of Search Engine Optimization (SEO), which not only directly affects the willingness of users to click on the website in search results, but also carries the important responsibility of brand information communication.In AnQiCMS (AnQi Content Management System), we often encounter a problem: how to flexibly control the title of the homepage so that it can display the core content while optionally adding or not adding the name of the website as a suffix?AnQiCMS provides an intuitive and efficient setting method for this.
Understand the relationship between the homepage title and the website name suffix
In the design of AnQiCMS, the website name is usually configured uniformly in the "Global Function Settings", which represents our brand identity.And the title content of the homepage is defined separately in the "Homepage TDK settings", aiming to highlight the core theme of the homepage.When we want to reflect the brand in the page title while maintaining the standardization of the title, there is a need to append the "site name" as a suffix to the "home page title".
For example, if the name of your website is "AnQi CMS" and you want the homepage title to be "Enterprise Content Management System Solution", then you may expect to see "Enterprise Content Management System Solution - AnQi CMS" in the browser title bar or search engine results.Sometimes, you may prefer to keep the title concise, displaying only "an enterprise-level content management system solution".AnQiCMS allows us to precisely control this display behavior.
The core method to control the homepage title suffix in AnQiCMS
AnQiCMS processes the generation logic of page titles through specific tags in template files, which makes the display of titles highly flexible. Specifically, the key to controlling whether the site name suffix is appended to the home page title lies in using{% tdk %}label'ssiteNameProperty.
Do not add the website name suffix (default behavior): This is
siteNameThe default setting of the attribute, equivalent to explicitly setting itsiteName=falseThis means that when you call the homepage title in the template file, you simply use the following tag:<title>{% tdk with name="Title" %}</title>Or
<title>{% tdk with name="Title" siteName=false %}</title>Then, the browser will only display the title content you fill in the "Home TDK Settings" in the background, and will not automatically append the website name after it.
Append website name suffix: If you want to add the website name as a suffix at the end of the homepage title, you need to
siteNameset the attribute totrue. Find the position in your template file that is responsible for outputting the homepage title (usually in<head>within the area), and change it to:<title>{% tdk with name="Title" siteName=true %}</title>With this setting, when the home page title is "Enterprise-level Content Management System Solution" and the website name is "AnQi CMS", the final page title will display as "Enterprise-level Content Management System Solution - AnQi CMS" (the default separator is "-").
Custom delimiter： Except for controlling whether to attach the website name, AnQiCMS also allows you to customize the separator between the title and the website name.
tdkTags provide asepProperties are used for this purpose. For example, if you want to use the underscore "_" as a separator, you can set it like this:<title>{% tdk with name="Title" siteName=true sep="_" %}</title>This title will display as "Enterprise-level Content Management System Solution_AncmsCMS".
