In the flexible and versatile content management ecosystem of AnQiCMS, custom content models are undoubtedly the key tools for website operators to achieve personalized content display and management.It enables us to create various types of content structures such as articles, products, cases, etc. based on business requirements, thereby greatly enhancing the adaptability of the system.However, while enjoying this high degree of freedom, adhering to the naming conventions set by the system, especially when defining model table names, is particularly important.As an experienced AnQiCMS operator, I am well aware that these seemingly minor regulations are actually crucial for the stable operation of the website and the accurate presentation of data.
Core Naming Conventions: Principles for Naming Model Tables
According to the official guidance document provided by AnQiCMS, when you start to create or modify a custom content model, the system has clear and strict naming requirements for the core field 'model table name'.The document clearly states that the model table name must be composed entirely of lowercase English letters.This means that no other form of character, such as uppercase letters, numbers, or special symbols, should appear in this field.
Importance of Naming Conventions Elaboration
Strict adherence to the naming convention of "English lowercase letters" is not due to ****, but based on a profound consideration of the system architecture and the underlying database operations.Firstly, AnQiCMS is an enterprise-level content management system developed based on the Go language, and its underlying database interaction needs to be executed efficiently and accurately.Most database systems have specific rules for the character set, length, and case sensitivity of table names.Adopts a unified lowercase English letter naming, which can ensure the maximum compatibility across different database environments and avoid data access obstacles caused by character set conflicts or case confusion.
Secondly, when the AnQiCMS system internally handles custom model data, whether it is content publishing, editing, querying, or front-end calls, the system will depend on this model table name to construct the corresponding database query statements and perform data mapping.If the model table name does not conform to the 'English lowercase letters' specification, for example, containing uppercase letters or special symbols, the system may not be able to find the corresponding table when trying to match or operate on the database table due to naming inconsistency, which may lead to the content not being displayed correctly.This may not only affect the browsing experience of users on the website's front end, but may also hinder operators from managing and optimizing content on the backend.Therefore, a standardized table name for a model is the foundation for ensuring the stability of custom content model features and smooth transmission of data.
Precautions in actual operation
In the AnQiCMS admin interface, when you navigate to the 'Content Management' module under 'Content Model' and create a new model, please pay special attention to filling in the 'Model Table Name' field.At this time, you need to make sure that all the characters you enter are English letters and all are in lowercase.recruitmentsorjobsMake sure to avoid using such asRecruitments(including uppercase),recruitments_infoNames that include underscores or other special symbols are not in compliance with the naming conventions.Even from the surface, some databases may allow more complex naming rules, but in order to ensure the smooth execution of the internal logic of the AnQiCMS system, as well as long-term system stability and maintainability, adhering to the strictest principle of 'lowercase English letters' is**practical.The correct naming allows the system to directly and accurately identify and use the table name to store your custom field data, thereby avoiding various functional errors caused by incorrect naming.
Summary
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the most common issue if I do not use all lowercase English letters for the table name of my custom model?If the custom model table name is not fully in lowercase English letters, the most common problem is that the content will not display correctly.The AnQiCMS system strictly parses and searches table names according to its internal logic during database operations. Any naming that does not comply with the 'English lowercase letters' standard may cause the system to fail to recognize or access the data table, leading to issues such as the content on the front page not displaying or abnormal data management in the background.
2. Can the table name of the model use numbers or special symbols (such as underscore "_")?According to the explicit regulations of AnQiCMS, the model table name “must be in lowercase English letters”.This means it is not recommended to use special symbols such as numbers or underscores.To ensure the stable operation of the system and good database compatibility, it is strongly recommended that you only use pure English lowercase letters when naming.
3. What are the naming conventions for the "call fields" of other custom fields in the content model, in addition to the model table name?Yes, although the 'parameter name' of the content model can be used in Chinese for display needs, its corresponding 'call field' must be in English. The document states thatauthorAs an example, it further emphasizes the necessity of using English. In order to maintain consistency and predictability within the system, it is recommended that the "field name" also use English lowercase letters or camel case naming conventions as per the Go language habit (such asuserNameAvoid using numbers or special characters.
