As an experienced CMS website operation personnel in the information security industry, I am well aware of the importance of content publishing timeliness and automated management.The "Time Factor - Scheduled Publishing Feature" provided by Anqi CMS is the key to solving this pain point.Many operators are curious about how the system ensures that the article is published on time after setting the scheduled release time for the article and clicking 'Save and Exit'.
The time-based release mechanism of AnQi CMS is centered around its efficient task scheduling and content status management on the backend.When you set a future publish time for a document on the editing interface and click 'Save and Exit', the system will store the document along with its set future publish time in the database.At this time, the status of the document is usually not 'published', but rather in a state of pending publication or draft, waiting to reach the specified time.
AnQi CMS, as an enterprise-level content management system built with Go language, its high-performance architecture is the cornerstone for efficient scheduled publishing. Go language is renowned for its excellent concurrent processing capabilities (achieved through Goroutines for asynchronous processing), which allows AnQi CMS to run one or more lightweight background processes or 'scheduling tasks' (just aschangelog.mdMentioned in the v2.0.0-alpha5 version, the newly added "scheduled task feature", continuously monitors all pending content to be released in the system.
In particular, there will be a dedicated task for content publishing scheduling inside the system.This task will regularly (such as, every few minutes or less) scan the database, searching for pending documents to be published that have reached or passed their publication time.Once a document that meets the conditions is found, the system will immediately execute the publishing operation: update the document's status from 'Pending Release' to 'Published', and push its content to the website frontend for access.The entire process requires no human intervention, it is fully automated.
To ensure the stable operation of the scheduled release function, the Anqi CMS application itself must remain online.This means that, whether through the Docker deployment of the Baota panel, the LNMP environment deployment under the command line, or other methods, it is necessary to ensure that the Go application (i.e., the anqicms executable file) runs continuously.crontabMonitor the AnQiCMS process with the system-level task scheduler to ensure that it can automatically restart even if the program terminates unexpectedly (such asinstall.mdandstart.mdas describedstart.shWhat the script does). Only when the AnQiCMS main program is online and working properly, its built-in content publishing scheduling task can be executed continuously and effectively.
Therefore, when you set a scheduled release and save it in the Anqi CMS, you can rest assured that the system has included the publishing task in its internal scheduling queue.As long as the AnQiCMS application itself remains running, it will faithfully publish your content at the specified time points automatically, greatly enhancing the flexibility and efficiency of content operation.
Common Questions (FAQ)
If the AnQiCMS application is offline or crashed at the scheduled publish time, will the article still be published automatically?
Will not.The scheduled publishing feature depends on the scheduling mechanism within the AnQiCMS application.If the application is offline or in a crash state at the scheduled publishing time, the article will not be automatically published on time.Once the application is relaunched and stable, it will rescan the pending release queue and publish the content that is scheduled for release but has not been published yet.cronwithstart.sh[Script), ensure that the AnQiCMS application can run continuously and stably.
2. Can I modify the content or publication time of the article before the scheduled publication?
If I set a past publish time, will the article be published immediately?
Yes.If you set the publish time to a past date point while creating or editing a document, AnQiCMS' internal scheduling task will quickly detect this situation and immediately mark the document as 'published', making it visible on the front end.
