AnqiCMS提供的内置伪静态规则
To simplify the user's configuration process, AnqiCMS built-in four commonly used pseudo-static rule modes, users can quickly select and apply according to the actual needs of the website and the habits of the target audience.
FirstlyNumber PatternThis mode uses the unique numeric ID of the page as the main identifier for the URL of the article detail page, list page, single page detail, and tag page, for example/article/123.htmlor/category/45.htmlThe digital pattern is usually applied more in Chinese websites, its advantages are that the URL is concise and not easy to repeat, but the degree of semanticization is relatively low.
ThenModel naming patternThis pattern is usually more favored by English websites. It includes the alias of the content model in the URL, for example/product/apple-iphone-15.htmlThrough embedding the custom alias of the model name and content in the URL, it can enhance the descriptiveness of the URL, which is helpful for search engines to identify the type of content.
In addition, there are two more.Categorization naming patterns，divided into “Classification Naming Pattern 1” and “Classification Naming Pattern 2”. These patterns are distinguished based on whether the URL contains the alias name of the classification./news/industry-updates/567.htmlor/blog/latest-posts/seo-guide.html。They are widely used on both Chinese and English websites and can enhance the semantics and hierarchical sense of URLs through classification levels, which helps users understand the website structure.
Choosing these built-in rules is very simple, just click the corresponding location in the background to select, and AnqiCMS will automatically apply them, saving the complex process of writing rules.
Master custom rewrite rules: Create personalized URLs
For those who pursue the ultimate SEO effect or have special URL structure requirements, AnqiCMS's custom pseudo-static mode provides unparalleled flexibility.This is an advanced configuration that allows you to define the URL format of each page on the website based on precise business logic.
自定义规则的配置遵循“规则名===规则值”的格式。AnqiCMS提供了六种核心的规则名，分别对应网站的不同页面类型：
archive：用于文档（文章、产品等）的详情页。category：Used for the category list page.archiveIndex：用于内容模型的首页。page：用于独立的单页面。tagIndex：用于标签列表页。tagEnglish: For the document list page of a specific tag.
When configuring these rules, we can flexibly use the variables provided by the system to construct URLs. These variables include:
{id}The unique numeric ID of the content.{filename}：Content's custom URL alias, which can be set during content editing (such as articles, single pages, tags).{catname}：Category's custom URL alias, which can be set during category editing.{catid}：Categorization unique numeric ID.{module}：Content model URL alias, which can be defined in the model settings.{page}：Page number for pagination. Please note that the pagination variable should be placed within parentheses, for example,(/{page})This indicates that this is an optional pagination path segment.
For example, you can set the following custom rules:
archive===/{module}/{catname}/{filename}.html
category===/{module}/{catname}(-{page})
page===/about-us/{filename}.html
The first rule will set the URL format of the document detail page to "model alias/class alias/document alias.html", which is very beneficial for constructing URLs that contain keywords and have clear levels.The second rule sets the category list page to "model alias/category alias", and supports optional pagination.The third rule provides a specific path for single-page sections like “About Us”.
Custom mode is powerful, but also requires users to configure it carefully.Any improper rule can lead to the page not being accessed correctly, therefore, thorough planning and testing before application are crucial.{filename}/{catname}The value of variables such as `auto` comes from the 'Custom URL' field of content, category, and tags, ensuring the standardization and uniqueness of these fields is the premise of the effectiveness of pseudo-static URLs.
