As a senior security CMS website operator, I am fully aware of the importance of content structure for website operation.An adaptable and customizable content model, the foundation for diverse content display and efficient content management.This Auto CMS provides very excellent features, allowing us to finely define and manage various types of content according to specific business needs.
English CMS content model: The foundation of customized content structure
In today's ever-changing digital environment, websites are no longer just platforms for displaying static information.It needs to be able to flexibly carry a variety of information, from traditional articles, news, to complex product details, event registration, and even professional industry reports or service cases.The Aiqi CMS is well-versed in this, one of its core highlights being the 'flexible content model' feature.This feature grants website operators powerful freedom to customize the structure and presentation of content according to actual business scenarios and content strategies, thereby freeing themselves from the constraints of preset content types in traditional CMS systems.
The content model of AnQi CMS, in essence, is a blueprint that defines content data fields, properties, and behaviors.It allows us to create a unique set of rules for each type of 'content' on the website.For example, a news article and an e-commerce product require entirely different information fields.News may require a title, author, publication date, main content, keywords; while products may require product name, price, inventory, SKU, multi-angle pictures, detailed parameters, specifications, etc.Through the content model, we no longer need to stuff all information into a universal template, but can tailor all the required data fields for each type of content.
Why is a custom content model crucial for website operation?
The value brought by custom content models is multi-faceted, directly affecting the efficiency of content publishing, the user experience of the website, and the SEO effect.
Firstly, it greatly enhancesThe efficiency and accuracy of content publishing.When editors publish content in the background, they will face a form highly matched with the content type.For example, when publishing a "recruitment positionThis precise input interface reduces the possibility of errors in filling in and avoids missing key information, making the content creation and publishing process smoother.
Secondly, customizing content models is helpfulOptimizing user experience and content presentation.The content structured is easier to display on the front end in an aesthetically pleasing and readable manner.For example, on the product detail page, we can highlight the 'Price', update the 'Inventory' in real time, and display 'Detailed Parameters' in tabular form. All of this is due to the clear definition of these fields in the content model.Users can quickly find the information they care about, thereby improving the usability and user satisfaction of the website.
Furthermore, it is related toSearch Engine Optimization (SEO)Has a profound impact.By defining fields through the content model, we can generate more semantically meaningful URLs, more precise TDK (Title, Description, Keywords), and rich media snippets for each content type.For example, the "price" field in the product model can be directly mapped to the Schema.org Product Price attribute, which helps search engines better understand and display product information, thereby improving the click-through rate of search results.The universal TDK tags and other features provided by Anqi CMS can also more accurately combine content model fields to generate the necessary SEO information.
The document explicitly states that the content model of Anqi CMS "allows users to customize content models according to business needs to achieve personalized content displayThis is the embodiment of its core advantage.
How to define and customize content models in the security CMS
The content model function of Anqi CMS is located in the "Content ManagementThe system is pre-installed with the most commonly used models such as "Article Model" and "Product Model", which can be used directly or modified according to our needs.Of course, we can also fully customize to create a new model.
When customizing the content model, there are several key elements that we need to pay attention to:
Model name and identifier:
- Model nameThis is the Chinese name displayed in the background management interface and breadcrumb navigation of the model, which should directly reflect the content type, such as 'News Dynamics', 'Solutions', 'Employee Style', etc.
- Model table nameThis is a key database identifier, which must be lowercase English letters, and it determines the storage position of the custom field in the database.Once created, it is usually not recommended to change arbitrarily.
- URL aliasEnglish: Used in the pseudo-static rule of
{module}The invocation of variables, it is also recommended to use English lowercase letters, which will affect the URL structure of the model content, helping to build clear and friendly URLs. - Title nameThis field will be used as the hint text for the 'Title' field when publishing content, for example, the product model can be set to 'Product Name', the recruitment model can be set to 'Position Name', to improve the intuitiveness of editing.
Custom fields of the content modelThis is the most powerful customization point of the content model. We can add any number of custom fields based on the specific needs of the content to accurately capture all necessary information.
- Parameter name：Field name display in Chinese, such as “Article Author”, “Release Department”, “Product Color”, “Event Location”, etc.
- Call fieldThis is the English identifier used when calling this field in the template, for example
author/color/locationPlease use English letters and maintain clear naming conventions. - field type：The CMS provides various field types to accommodate different data formats:
- Single Line Text：适用于短文本输入，如标题、作者姓名等。
- Number：仅限数字输入，如价格、库存数量等。
- Multi-line text：适用于长文本输入，如产品描述、活动详情。
- Single Choice (Radio)/Multiple Choice (Checkbox)/Dropdown Selection (Select)These three types are suitable for scenarios of preset options, such as 'Product Color' where you can choose red, blue, black; and 'Event Type' where you can choose online or offline.Their option values are entered one by one under the "default value" field.
- Is required：Can强制要求编辑人员必须填写某个字段，确保内容的完整性。
- Default valueEnglish for setting a preset value for the field can improve publishing efficiency, or as an option list for option type fields.
It is worth noting that caution is required when operating on the content model, especially when deleting the model.The AutoCMS clearly prompts: "When you want to delete a model, be sure to think it through. Deleting the model will also delete all documents and categories under it.This means that all the content data associated with the model will be lost, therefore, it is essential to back up the data and assess the risks before performing such operations.
Deep integration of custom content models and templates.
The core value lies in how the content model is perfectly presented on the website front-end once defined.The CMS, with its powerful template tag system, allows the flexible invocation and display of custom fields in the content model.
For example, intag-/anqiapi-archive/142.htmlIn it, we see thatarchiveDetailLabels can not only obtain general fields such as documentsTitle/Content, but also throughname="自定义字段名"The way, directly call any custom field defined in our content model. If we define a field namedmaterialThe material call field, then in the product detail page template, it can be displayed through{% archiveDetail with name="material" %}to directly show the material information of the product.
For a set of custom fields, such as a product may have multiple detail images, we have defined a multi-image field in the content model.arcimagesThe template can elegantly loop to display it like this:
{% archiveDetail arcimages with name="arcimages" %}
<ul class="arc-images">
{% for img in arcimages %}
<li><img src="{{img}}" alt="产品图"/></li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
This greatly improves the reusability of templates and the dynamism of content.
In addition, custom fields can also play a role in filtering and list display.tag-/anqiapi-archive/145.htmlThe document parameter filter tag in the document is an excellent example. When we create a "Real Estate" content model for a real estate website and define custom fields such as "House TypearchiveFiltersThe tag can be used to generate front-end filtering conditions based on these fields.Users can filter the property list by these custom fields for multi-dimensional filtering, thus quickly finding properties that meet their needs.
{# 假设在房产模型中定义了“房屋类型”和“卧室数量”等自定义字段 #}
<div>
<div>房产筛选：</div>
{% archiveFilters filters with moduleId="1" allText="不限" %}
{% for item in filters %}
<ul>
<li>{{item.Name}}: </li> {# 比如显示“房屋类型” #}
{% for val in item.Items %}
<li class="{% if val.IsCurrent %}active{% endif %}"><a href="{{val.Link}}">{{val.Label}}</a></li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
{% endfor %}
{% endarchiveFilters %}
</div>
HeremoduleIdThis points to our custom real estate content model.
This way, the content model is closely integrated with the template, not only defining the skeleton of the content, but also guiding the display logic of the content on the front end, ensuring consistency and dynamics.
