Next, I will explain in detail how to set or automatically extract thumbnails in AnQiCMS.
Understand the role of thumbnails in AnQiCMS.
In AnQiCMS, thumbnails are important visual elements of the content, used in list pages, related recommendations, search results, and other scenarios to summarize the content theme in the form of small-sized images.This not only optimizes the page layout, making information easier to browse, but also directly affects the attractiveness of the content and the users' click decisions.The AutoCMS provides thumbnail support for various content types such as articles, products, categories, and single pages, and ensures the uniformity of the website image style through global configuration.
Document thumbnail manual setup and intelligent extraction
For rich text content such as articles and products, AnQiCMS provides two main ways to obtain thumbnails:
Upload manually or select a thumbnail
When creating or editing documents (such as articles, products), you will find a section named 'Document Image', which is the location used to set the thumbnail. You can set it through the following methods:
- Upload a new image：Directly upload an image from the local computer as the thumbnail of this document.
- Select an existing image from the image library：If you have previously uploaded an image to the AnQiCMS image resource library, you can directly select one to associate.
Through this method, you can fine-tune the thumbnails of each document to ensure that their visual effects are highly matched with the content.
Content images are automatically extracted as thumbnails.
The smartness of AnQiCMS lies in its automatic extraction feature. When you are editing documents and do not manually upload or select thumbnails, but the document content (within the text editor) contains images, the system will automatically identify and extract the content of thethe first imageAs a thumbnail of the document.
This feature greatly simplifies the content publishing process, especially for articles with rich image content, eliminating the need for manual settings and ensuring that every document has a default visual cover.
It is worth noting that for content such as document classification and single-page structure, the thumbnail settings are usually done by manual upload.Since they do not contain rich text content that can be automatically extracted like the main text of the article, operators need to actively upload or select images as their thumbnails.
Global thumbnail processing strategy and size configuration
To achieve a unified visual style of the website and optimize the image loading performance, AnQiCMS provides powerful global thumbnail configuration options. These settings can be adjusted in the 'Content Settings' section of the backend, affecting all thumbnails generated by the system:
