How to retrieve detailed information for a specified category, such as the category name, description, and link?

As an expert in the operation of AnQiCMS, I am well aware of the importance of classified information in constructing website structure and enhancing user experience.The AnQi CMS, with its intuitive and powerful template tag system, makes it extremely easy to obtain and display detailed information about categories.In order to optimize navigation, enrich page content, or improve SEO effect, accurately obtaining category names, descriptions, and links is an indispensable part of our daily operations.

The core of AnQi CMS lies in its flexible template tags, and for obtaining category information,categoryDetailThe tag is undoubtedly our main tool.This tag is specifically designed to extract the properties of a single category.It not only intelligently identifies and displays the detailed information of the current page category, but also supports obtaining data of any specific category by explicitly specifying the category ID or URL alias, which greatly enhances the flexibility and customization of content display.

To obtain the category ofnamewe can use it in the template.{% categoryDetail with name="Title" %}.This label will directly output the display name of the category.For example, on the "News Center{% categoryDetail with name="Title" id="10" %}. This 'name' is exactly the 'category name' field we set for the category in the 'document category' management interface of the AnQi CMS backend.

category ofdescriptionInformation is equally important for users to understand the classification content and for search engine optimization. Through{% categoryDetail with name="Description" %}We can easily obtain and display the introduction of the category.This corresponds to the 'Category Introduction' field in the background 'Document Category'.<meta name="description">The content of tags can enhance the crawling and ranking effect of search engines.

To get the classification oflinks(URL address) is the key to guiding users to browse and build website navigation. Using{% categoryDetail with name="Link" %}Label, you can get the complete URL of the category.The Anqi CMS will automatically generate and manage these links according to the static rules you configure in the background, as well as the 'Custom URL' field of the category.Whether it is a clear navigation menu or a classified jump in the article list, this link tag ensures the consistency of the website structure and the convenience of user access.

In addition to the above basic information,categoryDetailTags also provide the ability to obtain deeper classification metadata, such asParentId(Parent Category ID), This is crucial for building a clear hierarchy navigation menu or breadcrumb navigation. Moreover, you can easily obtain the visual elements of the category, such asLogo(Category thumbnail large image),Thumb(Category thumbnail) as wellImages(Category banner group image, usually an array of images, which can be used for carousel display). If your category model defines additional custom fields in the background, you can also specifyname="自定义字段名"In order to call these personalized data, thus achieving highly customized content display requirements.

For example, in your template, if you want to display all the core information of the current category, you can organize the code like this:

<div class="category-info-block">
    <h1>{{ categoryDetail with name="Title" }}</h1>
    <p>{{ categoryDetail with name="Description" }}</p>
    <a href="{{ categoryDetail with name="Link" }}" title="更多关于{{ categoryDetail with name="Title" }}的内容">探索更多</a>
    {% if categoryDetail with name="Logo" %}
    <img src="{{ categoryDetail with name="Logo" }}" alt="{{ categoryDetail with name="Title" }}" class="category-logo" />
    {% endif %}
</div>
