As a website operator proficient in AnQiCMS, I fully understand the power of content in the digital world and how to attract and retain users through carefully crafted content.In AnQiCMS, document thumbnails and SEO titles are an indispensable part of the content publishing process. They not only affect the visual presentation of the content but also directly relate to the performance of the content in search engines.Below, I will elaborate on how to set and take effect these two key elements in AnQiCMS.
AnQiCMS English document thumbnail settings and functions
In AnQiCMS content management system, the document thumbnail settings provide high flexibility, aiming to ensure that your content is presented with excellent visual effects in different display scenarios.Thumbnail is the first line of defense in attracting users' attention to the content, playing a crucial role in list pages, recommended positions, and social media sharing.
When we enter the 'Content Management' module and navigate to the 'Publish Document' interface, we will see the option 'Document Image'. This is the core location for setting the document thumbnail.You can choose to select a suitable image from the existing image library, or directly upload a new image as the thumbnail for the current document.AnQiCMS has a convenient feature where even if you do not manually upload a thumbnail, the system will intelligently extract the first image from the document content to be used as the thumbnail for the document, ensuring that the content always has a visual identifier.
To achieve the unified visual style and optimization of image resources across the entire site, AnQiCMS provides global thumbnail processing options under the 'Content Settings' in the 'Background Settings'.You can define the 'processing method' of the thumbnail according to the design requirements of the website here, for example, choosing 'proportional scaling by the longest side' to fully display the image content, or 'cropping by the shortest side' to get a centered and fixed-size thumbnail.At the same time, you can set a uniform "thumbnail size", which helps to control the size of the image file and accelerate page loading speed.If your document lacks a specific thumbnail, the system also supports setting a "default thumbnail" as a backup to ensure that no content is missing visual elements.In addition, after you adjust the global thumbnail settings, AnQiCMS provides the "Batch Regenerate Thumbnails" feature, which allows you to update all existing content thumbnails with one click to adapt to the new size and processing method.
It is equally intuitive and convenient to call these thumbnails in the front-end template. For example, on the document detail page or list page,archiveDetailTagsname="Thumb"orname="Logo"Parameters to obtain the URL of the thumbnail or the first cover image.Thumb Usually refers to a processed thumbnail,LogoIt may point to the first image that has not been cropped or processed specifically. In addition to documents, thumbnails can also be set separately for categories (in the "Document Categories" settings) and single pages (in the "Page Management" settings) andcategoryDetailorpageDetailTagsname="Thumb"orname="Logo"Call it, ensuring the visual richness of the content at all levels of the website.
The setting and taking effect mechanism of SEO title in AnQiCMS
SEO title, which stands for Search Engine Optimization title, is the title displayed on the Search Engine Results Page (SERP) for the content, and it is related to the internal structure of the web page.<h1>The title is different, usually in HTML's<title>A well-optimized SEO title can effectively improve the click-through rate of the content and clearly convey the theme of the page to the search engine.
In AnQiCMS, you can fine-tune SEO titles at multiple levels. For specific documents, under the 'Publish Document' interface, in addition to 'Document Title' (usually corresponding<h1>)，You can also find the 'SEO Title' field.Here you can set a dedicated title for the document that is more attractive and has a higher keyword density for search engines, to differentiate it from the actual content title.同样，对于分类页面（在“文档分类”设置中）、单页面（在“页面管理”设置中）和标签页（在“文档标签”设置中），AnQiCMS都提供了独立的“SEO标题”字段，确保每一个重要页面都能拥有定制化的搜索引擎标题。
On the global level, AnQiCMS provides the configuration option for 'Home Title' under the 'Background Settings' section of the 'Home Page TDK Settings', which is the title displayed on your website's homepage in search engines. This is crucial for establishing brand authority and core keyword rankings.
These SEO titles take effect in the front-end template and mainly depend on the AnQiCMS providedtdkLabel. This label can dynamically obtain the current page's SEO title, keywords, and description information. For example, through{% tdk with name="Title" %}, the template will output the current page's SEO title.tdkTags also supportsiteNameandsepProperties such as this allow you to flexibly choose whether to append the website name as a suffix after the page title, and customize the separator to meet different SEO strategies and brand display needs. In addition, archiveDetailThe details label also providesname="SeoTitle"Parameters can be used to directly obtain the SEO title of the document.
AnQiCMS distinguishes content titles from SEO titles, this design concept allows website operators to better balance user experience and search engine optimization.The title mainly serves user reading, requiring clarity and engaging content; while the SEO title serves search engines, requiring the inclusion of core keywords to improve search visibility.By such separation, you can ensure that the website achieves **effectiveness** in content presentation and search engine ranking.
Common Questions and Answers (FAQ)
1. Why does AnQiCMS need to set both 'Document Title' and 'SEO Title'? What is the difference between them?
Document Title (usually corresponding to the HTML element)<h1>标签）主要是为了用户在访问页面时阅读和理解内容的主旨，它应清晰、简洁且吸引人。而SEO标题（对应HTML的<title>标签）<title>Tags) are the titles displayed to search engines and users on search result pages. Their purpose is to improve the visibility and click-through rate of the page, and they usually contain core keywords.AnQiCMS separates the two in order to allow you to fine-tune user reading experience and search engine optimization strategies separately, achieving a win-win situation for content presentation and SEO effects.
2. If I publish a document without uploading a thumbnail and without inserting any images into the content, how will the website front-end display?
In AnQiCMS, if you publish documents without manually uploading thumbnails and there are no images in the document content for the system to automatically extract, the system will try to display the 'default thumbnail' configured in 'Background Settings' -> 'Content Settings'.If no default thumbnail is set, the front-end template may display a blank or placeholder when calling the thumbnail, depending on the specific design of the template.Therefore, it is recommended that you set at least one global default thumbnail to ensure the visual integrity of the content.
What is the priority relationship between the global thumbnail setting and the thumbnail setting of a single document?
In AnQiCMS, the thumbnail setting for a single document has higher priority.When you upload a custom thumbnail for a specific document, the system will give priority to the thumbnail of that document itself.The system will revert to the global "default thumbnail" configured in the "Content Settings" when the document does not specify a thumbnail and no extractable images are found in its content.The global settings are mainly used to define the general processing methods of thumbnails (such as size, scaling and cropping modes) and as a fallback solution for unspecified thumbnail content.
