As an experienced website operator who deeply understands the operation of security CMS, I know the importance of content presentation and user experience.In the AnQi CMS, navigation links are the key paths for users to explore the website, and the templates they point to are the foundation for determining whether content is displayed correctly.When a navigation link points to a non-existent custom template, it is not just a simple file missing, but also a major challenge to user experience and website professionalism.
The AnQi CMS is designed to offer users high flexibility, allowing us to specify custom templates for content types such as articles, categories, single pages, etc. Whether it is a document list of{模型table}/list-{分类id}.htmlautopage/{单页面id}.htmlEven completely custom-named template files must actually exist in the template design package on the server.This flexibility provides great convenience in implementing personalized website layouts, but also brings potential risks.
Imagine that when we are configuring a custom template path for a specific navigation entry, such as a particular product category or an 'About Us' single-page, in the background, but the actual corresponding template file (such asproduct/custom_list.htmlorpage/about_us_v2.html）has not been uploaded./templateWhen the directory name or file name/path contains spelling errors, the system will not be able to find and load the template required for the page when the user clicks on the navigation link.
In this case, the user will not see the expected content display.According to the internal processing mechanism of Anqi CMS, when the system attempts to render a page but cannot find the specified template file, it usually returns a server error page.The most common and visible result to the user is that the visitor will see a '404 Not Found' error page.errors/404.htmlThis default error page provides basic user prompts, but for website operators, it is undoubtedly a serious disruption of user experience, which may lead to user loss and doubts about the reliability of the website.
