As an experienced CMS website operation personnel in the information security field, I am well aware that the timeliness of content and the display effect are crucial for user experience.The template file serves as the skeleton for displaying website content, and the update mechanism after modification is a common concern for operators.
About AnQiCMS template files.htmlAfter modification and 'Save and Exit', do you need to manually clear the cache or restart the service to display the update on the front end? Based on my long-term understanding and practice of AnQiCMS, I can elaborate in detail as follows.
AnQiCMS is an enterprise-level content management system developed based on the Go programming language, which fully considers efficiency and user experience in its design.For modifying template files, the system usually adopts an intelligent mechanism to handle./templateThe corresponding under directory.htmlAfter the file, most cases andNo need to manually clear the cache or restart the AnQiCMS service immediately.
The system usually reloads or re-parses these templates automatically after detecting a change in the template file.This is because the Go language template engine can check the file modification time during each request or trigger the recompilation of the template through other listening mechanisms.Such design is intended to minimize the operator's intervention to the maximum extent and ensure that template modifications can take effect on the front end quickly.
However, in certain specific scenarios, you may find that template modifications do not reflect immediately on the front-end. This is usually due to the following reasons:
Firstly,System-level cacheMay cause update delay.Although AnQiCMS has a dynamic loading mechanism for template files, the system may have some more comprehensive page-level or data-level caching to improve overall performance.If your template modifications involve certain highly cached content areas, these areas may not refresh immediately.In this case, the "Update Cache" feature provided by the AnQiCMS backend is particularly important.By clicking on the 'Update Cache' option in the left menu of the backend, you can manually clear all current cache data of the system, forcing the system to regenerate page content, thereby ensuring that your template modifications are displayed immediately on the frontend.
Secondly,Browser local cacheIt is a very common and easily overlooked factor.Your browser stores the static resources (such as CSS, JavaScript files, and some HTML structure) of the website to accelerate the access to the website.If your template modification involves references to these static resources or the HTML structure itself, but the browser still loads the cached files from the old version, you will not be able to see the latest changes.The method to solve this problem is very simple, usually just need to force refresh the browser (for example, press Ctrl + F5 on Windows system, or Cmd + Shift + R on Mac system), or clear the browser cache.
Finally, if your website is deployed after CDN (Content Delivery Network),CDN CacheIt may also be a potential obstacle.CDN will distribute the website content to the nearest node to the user to speed up access speed.If the CDN node caches an old version of the HTML page, even if the template on the source server has been updated, users will still see the old content.通常需要log in to the CDN service provider's management backend to perform the "refresh cache" or "preheat" operation to resolve CDN cache issues.
In summary, for AnQiCMS template files(.html) modifications,The preferred operation is to directly modify and save. If the front-end does not update immediately, please try in sequence:Use the 'Update Cache' feature of the AnQiCMS backendThen,Clear your browser cache and force refresh the pageIn most cases, these steps will ensure that your template modifications are correctly reflected on the front end without the need for a service restart, which is a more heavy-handed operation.
Common Questions (FAQ)
1. What specific content does the 'Update Cache' function of AnQiCMS clear, does it include template cache?
The 'Update Cache' feature in AnQiCMS backend is designed to clear the general cache at the system level, which usually includes database query result cache, page fragment cache, and potential template compilation cache.Although the document does not explicitly point out the specific type of 'template cache', in actual operation, after performing this operation, the latest modifications of the template file are often reflected, indicating that it indeed has an impact on the template loading mechanism.It is a critical step to ensure that the system can reread the latest files and rebuild the latest view.
2. Why do I still not see any changes on the front end after modifying the template file and clearing the AnQiCMS cache and browser cache?
If all the standard cache cleaning steps have been executed and the template modifications are still not effective, this may point to several deeper issues.Firstly, check if your file modifications have been correctly saved to the server, and whether the file permissions allow AnQiCMS to read.Secondly, if your website uses a CDN service, please make sure to log in to the CDN management backend to perform a global refresh operation.In rare cases, the system may have more stubborn persistent caches, or may conflict with the caching mechanism of the server environment (such as the reverse proxy configuration of Nginx/Apache, the OPcache of PHP-FPM, etc.). In this case, it may be necessary to contact technical support for further troubleshooting, or even consider restarting the AnQiCMS service as a last resort.
3. Does AnQiCMS support template hot reloading functionality to see changes instantly during development?
AnQiCMS as a system built with Go language, its underlying template engine has a mechanism to check for file modifications at the request time, which to some extent achieves 'pseudo-hot reload'.This means that during the development and debugging phase, after you modify the template file, you usually just need to refresh the page to see the latest effect, without manually clearing the cache or restarting the service.This design greatly improves development efficiency.It should be noted that in a production environment, for performance considerations, the system may rely more on caching, therefore, the aforementioned 'update cache' operation is still a necessary safeguard measure.
