As a website operator who is deeply familiar with the operation of AnQiCMS, I am well aware of the importance of an efficient and flexible navigation system for website user experience and content presentation.The AnQi CMS provides great convenience and strong content organization capabilities for website operators through its multi-level menu support and custom navigation category features.
Flexible navigation structure: supports deep layout of multi-level menus
The navigation system design of AnQi CMS takes full consideration of the modern website's needs for information hierarchy and can easily realize the construction of multi-level menus.This means that you can not only set the main navigation links, but also create submenus under these main links, forming a clear hierarchy.The system supports up to two levels of navigation links, that is, one level of main menu and one level of dropdown submenu.This design is sufficient to meet the navigation needs of the vast majority of corporate websites, portal sites, or content-based websites, allowing complex information architectures to be presented to users in a simple and intuitive manner.
Custom navigation category: Build exclusive navigation blocks as needed
Rich navigation link settings: Seamless integration of content and function
The navigation link settings of Anqi CMS are comprehensive and detailed, ensuring that each navigation element can accurately point to the target content or function.Each navigation link can be customized with a "Display Name", which is the intuitive text presented to the user on the frontend page.In addition, it also supports setting the "Sub Title Name" and "Navigation Description", which is very useful for scenarios where multilingual titles need to be displayed or brief descriptions are provided for navigation items.
In terms of link types, AnQi CMS provides a variety of options to meet different content directions:
- Built-in linkDirectly points to the homepage of the website, or the homepage of content models such as articles and products.
- Category page link：You can easily navigate to any created article category, product category, or standalone page.This makes navigation closely integrated with the content system of the website, ensuring that users can quickly access specific content collections.
- External Link：In addition to the content within the site, you can also add any external URL, whether it is other sister sites, partner sites, or specific marketing landing pages, they can all be easily integrated through the navigation system.
By setting the "display order", website operators can precisely control the arrangement of navigation items, ensuring that the most important content is always in a prominent position.These features collectively constitute a powerful and easy-to-use navigation management system, making the organization of website content and user导向 work efficient and flexible.
Template Integration and Dynamic Rendering
In the template creation of AnQi CMS,navListTags are the key to these navigation settings. Through{% navList navs with typeId=1 %}This label call allows you to specify the rendering of a specific navigation category (for exampletypeId=1It may correspond to the default navigation). In the loop traversalnavsThe system will automatically determine whether each navigation item contains a submenu when the variableitem.NavListField), and render the multi-level menu structure accordingly.This design concept perfectly combines backend configuration with frontend display, making the separation of content and structure more thorough, and convenient for frontend developers to flexibly adjust styles based on the design draft without interfering with the backend navigation logic.
