As a content expert deeply familiar with the operation of AnQiCMS, I fully understand the importance of reasonably arranging important links in website navigation.A clear and intuitive navigation not only enhances the user experience, but is also the key to guiding users to discover core content and achieve business goals.Below, I will give you a detailed introduction on how to implement a link pointing to the 'Product Model Homepage' in the Anqi CMS navigation.
Configure the "Product Model Home" link in the AnQi CMS navigation
In Anqi CMS, adding a navigation link to your 'Product Model Homepage' is a direct and efficient process that will help your visitors easily find your product showcase page.This operation is mainly completed through the "website navigation settings" function in the background.
First, you need to log in to the AnQiCMS admin interface.In the menu bar on the left, find and click 'Background Settings', and then select 'Navigation Settings'.This will lead you to the website navigation management center, where all navigation area links of the website are centrally managed.
After entering the "Navigation Settings" page, you will see a "Navigation Category Management" area.The AnQi CMS provides a default 'default navigation' category, which is usually the location of the main navigation bar on your website.If your website design requires, for example, to create independent navigation areas for the footer or sidebar, you can also add new navigation categories here.But for the core link of "Product Model Home Page", it is usually placed in the main navigation category.
Next, click the 'Add Navigation Link' button below the navigation category you choose.This will pop up a form to configure a new navigation link. You need to fill in the following key information in this form:
The first is the "display name", which is the text shown to the user on the navigation bar, for example, you can fill in "Product Center", "Our Products", or "Product List".This name should be concise and clear, able to convey the content it points to.
The option "Parent navigation" comes next. If your "Product Model Home" link is a top-level navigation item on the website, then simply select "Top-level navigation" here.If you want it to appear as a submenu of an existing navigation item, you need to select the corresponding parent navigation item.The AnQi CMS supports a two-level navigation structure, which provides enough flexibility to organize the navigation hierarchy.
The most critical step is to select the 'Link Type'. Here, you will see three options: 'Built-in Link', 'Category Page Link', and 'External Link'.To implement a link to the "Product Model Homepage", you should choose the "Built-in Link".After you select the 'Built-in Link', the system will automatically list some preset page types, including the 'Product Model Home Page'.Directly select this option, the system will automatically associate it with the home page address corresponding to your product model.
In addition, you can also fill in the "sub-title name" and "navigation description" as needed, which can be called in the front-end template to provide more rich information display for navigation links.Finally, adjust the "display order" to determine the position of the link in the navigation menu, the smaller the number, the earlier it is displayed.
After completing the above configuration, click "OK" to save your settings.At this time, the navigation data of Anqi CMS has been updated in the background.To ensure that these changes take effect immediately on the front-end page, you may need to go back to the admin home page, click the "Update Cache" feature to clear the system cache.After that, refresh your website's frontend page, and you will see the newly added "Product Model Homepage" link in the navigation.Clicking this link will take you directly to your product showcase page, greatly enhancing the accessibility of the website's content.In this way, not only have you optimized the navigation structure of the website, but also provided users with a more convenient access path, thereby effectively improving the overall operation of the website.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the new navigation link not displayed on the front page?If your navigation link is set up successfully in the background but the front-end page does not display, there may be several reasons.First, make sure you have clicked the "Update Cache" button in the background management interface to clear old cache data.Next, check if the template used on your website is correctly callednavListtag to render the navigation menu. If the template does not have the correspondingnavListThe tag, or the tag parameter setting is incorrect (for exampletypeIdMismatch), the navigation link will not be displayed. In addition, please also make sure that the navigation link has been added to the navigation category currently being used by the template.
Can I link to a specific product category page, in addition to the built-in "Product Model Home" link?Of course, it can be done. The navigation link settings of AnQi CMS provide great flexibility.In the form of "Add Navigation Link", when you select the "Link Type", in addition to the "Built-in Link" option, there is also an "Category Page Link" option.After selecting this option, the system will pop up a category selector, allowing you to precisely select the specific product category you want to link, whether it is a parent category or any subcategory.This can help you create a more detailed navigation structure, directly guiding users to the product categories they are interested in.
How can I link to the home page of each custom product content model if I created multiple?AnQi CMS supports the creation of multiple custom content models. In the 'Navigation Settings', when you select the 'Built-in Link' type, the system will not only provide the general option of 'Product Model Home Page', but will also list 'Other Custom Model Home Pages', from which you can select the home page corresponding to the specific product content model you created.This means that if you have two independent product models named 'Electronics' and 'Home Appliances', you can create links in the navigation pointing to the 'Electronics Model Home Page' and the 'Home Appliances Model Home Page' separately.If your custom model does not appear directly in the "Built-in Links" option, you can also create a link by manually entering the URL address of the custom model's home page through the "External Links" type.You can find the custom model URL alias in the model settings of the "Content Management", and build an accurate link by combining the static rules.
