As an experienced CMS website operation personnel, I fully understand the importance of the naming rules of the content management system (CMS) templates for the long-term operation, maintenance efficiency, and content presentation quality of the website.A clear and standardized template naming not only allows team members to quickly understand the purpose of the file and reduce collaboration costs, but also provides strong flexibility and scalability when the website faces a redesign or functional upgrade.
In the AnQi CMS, the naming of templates for specific document detail pages follows a set of flexible and hierarchical rules, aimed at meeting the content display needs of different granularity.Understanding these rules can help us create and publish content more efficiently, ensuring that each piece of content is presented to users in the most appropriate way.
AnQiCMS Specific Document Detail Page Template Naming Rules
AutoCMS provides various naming methods for the detail page template of specific documents to meet customized needs ranging from global general to precise to individual document.
Firstly, the most basic naming is the common detail page template of the model level. Anqi CMS encourages organizing template files according to content models, which means that for articles ("articlemodels or products (productThe model, etc., usually has a default detail page template. In the default folder organization mode, this template is usually nameddetail.htmlPlace in the corresponding folder named by the model name, for example:template/your_template_name/article/detail.htmlortemplate/your_template_name/product/detail.htmlWhen the system needs to display the details of any document of a model, if no more specific custom template is found, it will call the template under this modeldetail.htmlfile.
Secondly, the CMS supports fora specific document IDCustomize detail page template.This is a more refined control method, allowing us to have a unique display layout for an important article or a unique product design on a website.{模型table}/{文档ID}.html。For example, if there is a documentarticleof the model, with the ID of123，then we can create a one namedtemplate/your_template_name/article/123.htmlThe template file. When accessing the document with ID 123, the system will prioritize using this custom template instead of the generalarticle/detail.htmlIt is also worth mentioning that the document also mentions{模型table}/detail-{文档ID}.htmlThis format, for example,article/detail-123.htmlBoth of these ID customization methods provide the ability to match document IDs, making it possible to create a unique experience for individual content items.
Additionally, operators can manually specify a document during the editing process through the backend interface of the Anqi CMS.Custom templateIn the "Add Document" or "Edit Document" page, we can enter any valid template file name, such asdownload.htmlThis means that even if the template does not follow the above ID or general naming conventions, as long as the file exists in the current template package (for exampletemplate/your_template_name/download.html），System will load and use it. This approach provides a high degree of freedom, especially suitable for independent documents that have special features or content layout requirements.
For websites that require multi-end adapter experience, Anqi CMS also supportsMobile templateAll the above naming conventions also apply to the mobile template, but these files need to be stored in the current template directory.mobileIn the subdirectory. For example, the universal template for mobile end article details might betemplate/your_template_name/mobile/article/detail.html, and the mobile template for a specific document ID 123 might be namedtemplate/your_template_name/mobile/article/123.htmlThis hierarchical processing ensures a good access experience for mobile users while maintaining the logical consistency of template naming.
Finally, AnQi CMS provides two file organization modes: folder organization mode and flat file organization mode. In the folder organization mode, templates are usually nested in multiple directories, such asarticle/detail.html. And in the flat file organization mode, the template files may be directly located in the template root directory, distinguished by underscores, for examplearticle_detail.html

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1：If a document meets both the general detail page template (such asarticle/detail.html) and the template customized by document ID (such asarticle/123.html) in terms of naming rules, which template will the system use first?
The system will follow a priority order when loading the document detail page template. In most cases, the system will prioritize the most specific template. This means that if the documentIDresponse for123The template filearticle/123.htmlexists, the system will use it first. If the template with this specific ID does not exist, the system will then look for the general detail page template at the model level, for examplearticle/detail.html.Manually through the "Document Template" field specified in the background, its priority may be higher than the ID customization template matched automatically, but the specific implementation depends on the internal logic of the system, usually the background specification is the most priority.
Q2：Can I specify custom templates in bulk for certain specific topics or series of documents, instead of setting them one by one in the background?
The "Document Classification" function of Anqi CMS supports setting custom templates for categories.In the "Document Classification" editing interface, you can specify a generic document template for the entire category and its subcategories.download.htmlTemplate, you can fill in the settings of this category.download.html.This category will automatically apply this template to all documents under it (unless a more specific individual document template is specified), thus achieving the purpose of batch management and saving the trouble of setting up each document separately.
