How does AnQiCMS implement content monetization for its user groups and VIP system?

As an experienced CMS website operations personnel for a security company, I know that content is the core to attract and retain users, and user group management and VIP system are the tools to monetize the value of content.The AnQi CMS, with its powerful customizability and flexible permission control mechanism, provides a solid foundation for us to build a paid content ecosystem.

The foundation of AnQi CMS users group management and VIP system

The core functions of AnQi CMS include its comprehensive user group management and VIP system.This feature allows website operators to finely divide users according to business needs and define unique permission levels for different user groups.This lays a solid foundation for us to implement a content monetization strategy.For example, we can set multiple levels such as 'General User Group', 'Copper VIP Member', 'Silver VIP Member', and 'Gold VIP Member', and each level of user enjoys different content access permissions and special services.

Build diverse content monetization models

Using the user group management and VIP system of Anqi CMS, we can practice various content monetization strategies to meet the needs of different types of users and maximize the value of the content.

Firstly,Exclusive Paid ContentIt is a commonly used way to monetize.We can set high-value, professional, well-made exclusive articles, in-depth reports, research analyses, high-definition video tutorials, or premium download resources as VIP exclusive content.This provides unique value for those who are willing to pay for high-quality information.

Secondly,Tiered Membership ServiceCan provide more flexible options.By setting multiple VIP levels, each level unlocks different levels of content and services.For example, bronze members can access some basic paid content, silver members can access more advanced content and enjoy ad exemption, while gold members can access all paid content, and may obtain exclusive community, one-on-one consultation, or offline event participation qualifications and other privileges.This tiered strategy helps to attract a wider user base and encourages users to upgrade step by step.

Moreover,Combination of Subscription and Pay-Per-UseCan meet different consumption habits.Although the payment interface is not directly mentioned in the document, the security CMS user group system provides a good platform for combining third-party payment or custom development.Users can choose to subscribe to VIP services monthly or annually, gaining access to all or part of paid content over a certain period.For some particularly high-value articles, we can also design a pay-per-use model, allowing users to obtain the information they need without subscribing to the entire membership system.

In addition,Ad Removal and Priority ExperienceAlso a common VIP privilege.VIP users can enjoy ad-free browsing experience, enhancing the immersive feeling of reading.At the same time, newly released content can be set for VIP users to experience first, such as reading a week in advance, thereby enhancing the sense of belonging and superiority of VIP users.

Practical Path to Monetizing Content with AnQiCMS

In the Anqi CMS, realizing content monetization requires close integration between backend configuration and frontend template logic.

InBackend configuration and content creationThe layer, we first need to create and define different user groups.In the management backend of AnQi CMS, we can set the name, description, and key level (Level) for each user group.These levels will be the core basis for distinguishing user permissions.ReadLevelfield.ReadLevelIt is the threshold for content access permissions, which corresponds to the level of the user group. For example, if a piece of content is set toReadLevel=2, then only user groups with a level of 2 or higher can access.

InFront-end template logic implementationLayer, the template tag system of AnQi CMS provides us with powerful control capabilities.When a user visits a page, our template first needs to retrieve the current user's login status and VIP information.userDetailtags to obtain the current user's Id/GroupId(i.e., user group ID) andExpireTime(VIP expiration time). At the same time, througharchiveDetailtags to get the content details of the current page, especially the ones set byReadLevel.

With this information, we can use it in the template.{% if %}Judgment tags such as logic, to build access control logic. If the user is not logged in, or logged in butGroupIdthe corresponding level is lower than the content.ReadLevelOr their VIP has expired, the system will not directly display the content but will show a customized paid prompt instead.This prompt can guide users to log in, register, or purchase/update VIP services.userGroupDetailTags, dynamically display different VIP level names, prices (Price/FavorablePrice) and detailed privileges, allowing users to clearly understand the value of paying.

The following is a simplified front-end template logic example, showing how to control the display of content by judging the user's VIP level:

{# 获取当前用户详情 #}
{% userDetail currentUser with name="Id" %}
{% if currentUser.Id %} {# 判断用户是否已登录 #}
    {% userDetail currentUserDetail with id=currentUser.Id %} {# 获取当前用户的更详细信息，包括等级和VIP过期时间 #}
    {% archiveDetail currentArchive with name="Id" %} {# 获取当前文档的详细信息，包括阅读等级 #}

    {# 假设用户组等级0为普通用户，内容阅读等级也从0开始，且VIP过期时间为Unix时间戳 #}
    {% set currentTimestamp = "now"|date("U")|integer %} {# 获取当前Unix时间戳 #}

    {% if currentUserDetail.Level >= currentArchive.ReadLevel and currentUserDetail.ExpireTime > currentTimestamp %}
        {# 用户等级满足要求且VIP未过期，显示VIP内容 #}
        <div class="vip-content">
            {{ currentArchive.Content|safe }}
        </div>
    {% else %}
        {# 用户不满足阅读权限或VIP已过期，显示付费提示 #}
        <div class="paywall-message">
            <h3>此内容为VIP专属，请升级您的会员等级！</h3>
            {% userGroupDetail vipGroup with level=currentArchive.ReadLevel %} {# 获取当前内容所需的VIP等级详情 #}
            {% if vipGroup %}
            <p>
                升级到 <strong>{{ vipGroup.Title }}</strong> 即可阅读全部内容。
                原价：¥{{ vipGroup.Price }}，优惠价：¥{{ vipGroup.FavorablePrice }}
                （您当前的会员等级：{{ currentUserDetail.Level }}，内容所需等级：{{ currentArchive.ReadLevel }}）
            </p>
            <a href="/vip/purchase?level={{ vipGroup.Level }}" class="btn-buy-vip">立即购买/升级VIP</a>
            {% else %}
            <p>获取内容访问权限，请联系客服了解VIP详情。</p>
            {% endif %}
        </div>
    {% endif %}
{% else %} {# 用户未登录 #}
    <div class="login-prompt">
        <h3>此内容为VIP专属，请登录或购买VIP！</h3>
        <p>登录即可查看您的会员权益，或立即购买VIP享受独家内容。</p>
        <a href="/login" class="btn-login">立即登录</a>
        <a href="/vip/purchase" class="btn-buy-vip">购买VIP</a>
    </div>
{% endif %}
