As a senior security CMS website operations personnel, I am fully aware of the core status of content in website operations.High-quality content not only requires careful creation, but also an effective presentation method to attract and retain users.The "Recommended Attributes" (flag) feature provided by AnQi CMS is one of the key tools for accurate content presentation and improving user experience.
Deep understanding of AnQiCMS recommended attributes (Flag)
The recommended attribute of AnQi CMS, also known as Flag, is a special mark attached to document content.These tags transcend the traditional classification system, providing a more flexible and detailed way of categorizing content, thus enabling diverse display and management on the website front end.They are equivalent to the 'baton' of content editing, guiding the system on how to highlight, where to display, and in what form to present specific content.Use these properties reasonably to effectively increase the exposure of content, optimize the user browsing path, and it is an indispensable part of building a dynamic and attractive website.
How to set recommended attributes for documents
It is a straightforward and simple process to set recommended attributes for documents in the AnQi CMS backend.When you log in to the backend, go to the “Content Management” module, whether you are creating a new document or editing an existing document, you will find a setting area named “Recommended Attributes”.
This area lists all available recommended properties, each with a Chinese description and a brief single-letter code.You can flexibly choose one, several, or none of the properties based on the actual needs of the document and operational strategy.

Utilize recommended properties to achieve flexible display of front-end content
Once the recommended properties of the document are set, we can precisely control the way these contents are presented on the website through the front-end template tags. The Anqi CMS mainly usesarchiveListandarchiveDetailTwo template tags are used to handle recommended attributes.
Filter and display specific attribute content on the list page:
To display content with certain recommended attributes in specific areas of the website, for example, allocating a column on the homepage to show all "recommended" articles, we can usearchiveListlabel combined withflagParameters. For example, to call all documents marked as “Recommended[c]{% archiveList archives with type="list" flag="c" limit="10" %}.
It should be noted that in the samearchiveListin the tag,flagParameters can only be used to filter one specific recommendation attribute at a time. This means that you need to configure a separate one for each type of recommendation content that needs to be displayed individually (such as “Headlines”, “Sliders”)}]archiveListLabels, to create clear, focused content blocks.
Exclude specific attribute content from the list page:
Sometimes, we may wish that certain content with specific attributes do not appear in the normal document list.For example, if the content of your 'slideshow' is already displayed in the homepage carousel, you may not want them to appear again in the 'latest articles' list.archiveListTagsexcludeFlagParameters:{% archiveList archives with type="list" excludeFlag="f" limit="10" %}This can effectively avoid content repetition and maintain the page's neatness and logical presentation.
Display recommended attributes in the document details page or list.
If you need to display the recommended attributes of the document directly on the detail page of the document, or display them in the document list (if the list tag is configured to display Flag), you can directly access the document object.FlagField. For example, in the document detail page, you can use{{archive.Flag}}to display all recommended properties of the document. InarchiveListloop, if recommended properties usage is setshowFlag=true, then{{item.Flag}}The recommended properties applied to this document will be displayed, usually presented in the form of a comma-separated string (for example,This is very useful for adding additional visual identifiers or metadata to content.
