As an experienced CMS website operation personnel of Anqi, I am well aware that an efficient system configuration is crucial for the success of website operation.AnQiCMS with its concise and efficient architecture provides us with powerful content management capabilities.To fully realize its potential, understanding and properly configuring the background settings is fundamental.Today, I will take you in-depth to understand how to make detailed settings for global functions, content, contact information, TDK, and navigation on the AnQiCMS backend, ensuring that your website can meet operational needs as well as provide an excellent user experience and search engine performance.
Global feature setting strategies and practices
The global feature settings are the foundation of AnQiCMS website operation, defining the core identity and running status of the website.In the "Background Settings" menu under "Global Settings", you can find these key options.
Firstly, the website name is not only the brand identifier of your website but also serves as a suffix for the page title, having a direct impact on search engine optimization (SEO).The configuration of the website address is crucial, as it determines how users access your website and how website resources are loaded.If your website has a separate domain for mobile, it is essential to fill in the address accurately on the mobile end, which is particularly crucial for websites with independent PC and mobile templates.In addition, uploading a well-designed website logo can effectively enhance the brand image.
In terms of legal compliance, filling in the registration number can ensure that your website complies with local regulations and can display compliance links on the front end through a template.The setting of copyright information is usually used in the footer of a website to declare ownership of your content.For international operation, choosing the appropriate default language package can allow the system's built-in prompts to be displayed in the target language, although the actual translation of the content still needs to be completed manually, but this is a good start.To enhance the security of background access, AnQiCMS supports setting a separate domain address for the background, which can effectively isolate the front and background, reducing security risks.
Flexible control of website status is also an important feature. When a website needs maintenance or to suspend services, you can set it to a closed station status and configure friendly closed station prompt information to inform visitors of the current status of the website.AnQiCMS also provides powerful capabilities for custom setting parameters. When the built-in parameters of the system cannot meet the specific calling needs of your template, you can create custom parameters, name them, assign values to them, and add remarks, which greatly enhances the flexibility and scalability of the template.
Content settings: Optimize content presentation and management efficiency
The content settings focus on how to manage and optimize the website's content resources, especially the way images are processed, which directly affects the website's loading speed and user experience.You can adjust it under the "Content Settings" in the "Background Settings".
The download strategy for remote images is an option worth considering.If you wish to store all externally referenced images on the local server, you can enable the download remote image feature;If your website is configured with an independent image bed service, you can choose not to download to avoid duplicate storage.To maintain the originality and SEO effects of the content, you can enable the automatic filtering of external links.After enabling, the system will automatically remove external links when publishing content, or add them torel="nofollow".
Image format optimization is the key to improving website performance. Enable the WebP image format conversion feature, which can automatically convert uploaded JPG, PNG, and other images to a smaller WebP format, significantly reducing storage space and speeding up page loading speed.For the images uploaded, AnQiCMS provides a WebP conversion tool for batch processing.The automatic compression feature of the large image can also reduce the file size while ensuring the visual quality, you can set it to compress to a specified width.
The thumbnail is an important part of the content list display. AnQiCMS provides three ways to process thumbnails: proportional scaling by the longest side, padding by the longest side, and cropping by the shortest side. You can choose the most suitable method according to your website design needs and set the appropriate thumbnail size.When the document is missing a thumbnail, the system will display the default thumbnail you have set.If you adjust the thumbnail size, you can use the batch regenerate thumbnails feature to let all uploaded images be generated into thumbnails according to the new size, ensuring the consistency of the website style.
Contact information settings: Build a user communication bridge
The setting of contact information is the foundation for establishing effective communication between the website and the user. In the "Background Settings" under "Contact Information Settings", you can centrally manage all external contact information.
AnQiCMS provides a series of default contact fields, including contact person, phone number, contact address, email address, WeChat ID, WeChat QR code, and some internationally commonly used social media contact methods such as WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter, and so on.This information will be called and displayed at the corresponding position on the website front page, making it convenient for users to quickly find and contact you.
Similar to the global feature settings, the contact information settings also support custom parameters.If the default field does not meet your specific business needs, for example, if you need to add a custom online customer service link, you can do so by adding custom parameters.You need to specify a name, parameter value that is easy to call in the template, and add notes for easy management.This flexibility ensures that the website can display the most comprehensive and business scenario-compliant contact information.
Home TDK settings: Strengthen search engine crawling and ranking
The home page TDK (Title, Description, Keywords) settings are the core elements of website search engine optimization (SEO), which directly affect the understanding and ranking of your website's homepage.You can configure it under "Home TDK Settings" in the "Background Settings".
The homepage title is the first line of text that users see in the search results and is one of the most important SEO elements of the website.You should fill in the title here that accurately summarizes the website theme and includes the core keywords.Home page keywords are used for<meta name="keywords">Set in the tag, it should contain the main keywords you want the website to rank in search engines, but remember not to overstack and maintain natural relevance. The homepage description will be<meta name="description">Tags display, it is a brief summary of the website's homepage content, intended to attract users to click. An attractive description can effectively improve the click-through rate.
These reasonable settings can win better visibility and ranking for the homepage in search engines, thus bringing more natural traffic.
Website navigation settings: guide users to access smoothly
The website navigation is a map for users to navigate within the website, a clear and reasonable navigation structure is crucial for improving user experience and website accessibility.In the "Background Settings" under "Navigation Settings", you can finely manage all the navigation links of the website.
AnQiCMS supports creating multiple navigation categories, the default provides "default navigation", but you can add new categories according to your needs, such as "footer navigation", "sidebar navigation", etc., to meet the navigation needs of different areas of the website.
In the navigation link settings, you can configure the specific information for each navigation item.The settings for the upper navigation allow you to create a dropdown menu with up to two levels, which is very useful for organizing complex website content.The display name, subtitle name, and navigation description provide rich display information for the navigation item, and you can fill it according to your design requirements.The link type offers various options: You can link to built-in pages on the website (such as the homepage, article/product model homepage), or to created category pages or single pages, even any external links. This flexibility allows navigation to point to any target.Finally, by adjusting the display order, you can easily sort the navigation items to ensure they are presented in a logical or importance-based sequence.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How to install and use multiple AnQiCMS instances on the same server?
It is feasible to deploy multiple AnQiCMS instances on the same server, but each instance needs to occupy a different network port.The default AnQiCMS instance usually uses port 8001.If you want to install a second instance, you need to modify the root directory underconfig.jsonfile, toportChange the parameter to a new unused port, such as 8002.Likewise, the subsequent nginx or Apache reverse proxy configuration also needs to point to this new port.In the case of multiple websites sharing a set of AnQiCMS code, you can add a new site through the "Multi-site Management" feature in the background. Each new site will have an independent database and root directory, but will share the same program file.
2. Why can't the front-end template call after completing the custom parameter settings in the background?
The custom parameters of AnQiCMS, after being set up in the background, need to be displayed on the front page through specific template tags. For example, for custom parameters defined in the global settings, you need to use{% system 变量名称 with name="参数名" %}Call this format; for custom parameters in contact information, you need to use{% contact 变量名称 with name="参数名" %}Make sure the template tags innameThe attribute is exactly the same as the parameter name you set in the background, and pay attention to the case of the variable name, because AnQiCMS template tags are case-sensitive.If it still cannot be displayed, please check if your template file correctly references these tags.
How does the 'Display Order' in the website navigation settings take effect?
The "Display Order" field in the website navigation settings is used to control the arrangement order of navigation links on the front-end page.The effective logic is: the smaller the number, the closer the navigation item is displayed in the list.For example, if you set the display order of a navigation item to 10 and another to 20, the navigation item with the display order of 10 will be displayed before the navigation item with the display order of 20.Currently, the navigation item sorting of AnQiCMS mainly depends on this numeric value, and does not support sorting through drag-and-drop or other visual methods.To adjust the order, just modify the display order number of the corresponding navigation item.
