As a website operator who deeply understands the operation of the security CMS, I am well aware that every detail of content presentation can affect user experience and search engine optimization.About the question of whether the image address in AnQi CMS is using a relative path or an absolute path, and its potential impact on website operations, I will give you a detailed explanation.
What is the composition mechanism of AnQiCMS image path?
The Anqi CMS is mainly inclined to useabsolute paths (paths relative to the domain root directory)This means that when your website is loaded in a browser, the image address is usually something like/Starts directly to a specific file or folder under the root directory of the website.This design concept runs through all kinds of content images, thumbnails, and static resources referenced in the templates.
For example, the address of an image uploaded through a content editor may be something like/uploads/2023/07/my-image.jpgHere,/uploadsThe folder is located at the deployment location of your website.publicdirectory, while Nginx or Apache web servers typically placepublicThe directory is set as the root directory of the website. Therefore, when the browser parses to/uploads/...it will directly look for this resource from the root directory of the domain name.
For static resources referenced in the template, such as CSS, JavaScript files, and images included in the template, the situation is similar. The document mentions that static resources of the template are stored in/public/static/In the directory, and through{% system with name="TemplateUrl" %}Tag retrieval template base URL. This means that static resource references (such as<img src="{% system with name="TemplateUrl" %}/images/logo.png">) in the template will also be resolved as such absolute paths, ensuring the accurate loading of resources./public/static/yourtemplate/images/logo.pngabsolute paths, ensuring the accurate loading of resources.
Some image fields provided by the system, such as document details tags (tag-archiveDetail.md) within theLogoorThumb, and contact information tags (tag-contact.md) within theQrcodeand, they also output the absolute paths relative to the domain root directory that can be directly recognized by browsers.<img>Tagssrcproperties.
It is worth mentioning that the AnQi CMS also provides the function of 'whether to download remote images'. If the content contains images from other domains (i.e., complete absolute URLs, such ashttps://example.com/remote.jpgThis can be downloaded to local storage and converted to a local absolute path reference. This further reinforces the system's preference for local absolute paths.
The impact of this path management model on usage
AnQi CMS uses absolute paths (relative to the domain root directory) to manage image addresses. This is not done arbitrarily but is based on considerations of website performance, maintainability, and search engine optimization, among other factors. This mode has the following main impacts on the daily operation and maintenance of the website:
Firstly,in the field of Search Engine Optimization (SEO)The absolute path has significant advantages.The search engine crawler tends to crawl and index resources with clear, stable URLs.The relative path may cause ambiguity when the website structure changes or the content is migrated, while the absolute path always points to the exact location of the resource, which helps to increase the probability of the image being indexed by search engines and avoids failure in crawling due to path parsing errors.At the same time, a unified path structure also makes it easier for website administrators to monitor and manage image index situations in tools like Google Search Console.
secondly, it greatly enhancesthe portability and stability of content.No matter how you adjust the structure of your article or page, or if the content is copied to different levels of the website, the image links will remain valid./news/moving to the second-level directory/archive/year/Image path/uploads/image.jpgIt can still be parsed correctly, while using a relative path../uploads/image.jpgThis may become invalid due to hierarchy changes. This reduces the problem of dead links caused by website structure adjustments and reduces the workload of operation personnel.
Furthermore, absolute path managementSimplified front-end development and maintenanceFront-end developers do not need to worry about the impact of the current page depth on image paths, they can directly use a unified/uploads/...or/static/...Format reference resources, which reduces the complexity of path calculation and improves development efficiency.Especially when introducing JavaScript dynamic loading or processing images, absolute paths can provide clearer and more predictable resource location.
However, this pattern also brings somePotential considerations.Multi-environment deployment(such as local development environment, test environment, and production environment) when the domain names orpublicThe directory structure configuration is inconsistent, which may cause image loading failures. Although the AnQi CMSBaseUrlThe settings can help to alleviate this problem to some extent, but operations personnel still need to ensure that the configurations of all environments can be correctly parsed
