As an experienced CMS website operation personnel, I fully understand the importance of the flexibility of the content model for website construction and content management.When customizing the content model, the "model table name" and "URL alias" are two core and key settings items.They each have different responsibilities, but work together to ensure that your website content is managed efficiently and displayed friendly.
The role and specification of the model table name
In AnQi CMS, 'model table name' refers to the unique database table name you specify for a custom content model.This name is used internally by the system to store the identifier for all custom field data under the content model in the database.It is the basis of the content model on the backend data level, which determines how your articles, products, or any custom content type data is managed and retrieved by the system.
The main function of the model table name isOrganization and isolation of data structures.Every custom content model will have its unique fields, such as 'article' model may have 'author', 'source', while the 'product' model may have 'price', 'inventory'.article_dataorproduct_info), AnQi CMS can store data of different models in different database tables, thus realizing efficient data management, query, and maintenance.This separation mechanism not only improves the performance of the system, but also ensures the clarity and stability of the data structure.
The specifications of the model table name, Anqi CMS has strict requirements: itMust use lowercase English letters
The role and specifications of URL aliases
Differences between model table names mainly serving backend data management and 'URL alias' mainly concern the visibility and user experience of your website on the front end, especially in terms of search engine optimization (SEO).The alias is a short and descriptive string defined in the website's static rules for your custom content model.It will ultimately be part of the URL path, displayed to users and search engines.
The core function of URL alias isBuild a clear and friendly URL structure. Anqi CMS's pseudo-static rules allow you to go through{module}Such a variable is used to refer to URL aliases. For example, if you have a content model named "news" and set its URL alias tonewsThen when the user accesses the specific news content under the model, the URL path may appear as您的域名/news/新闻标题.html.This highly readable and descriptive URL not only helps users better understand the page content, but also serves as an important SEO signal, improving the page's ranking in search engines.
The URL alias also has clear specifications: itOnly supports English lowercase letters.This is consistent with the model table name requirements, aimed at ensuring the规范性 of the URL, avoiding potential encoding issues, and maintaining consistency with the variable naming in the pseudo-static rules.article/product/serviceEtc., can make your website structure more clear, and is also conducive to user memory and sharing.
