How to manage and publish articles, products, and other document content in AnQiCMS?
As an experienced CMS website operation person in a well-known security company, I know that content is the lifeline of the website.AnQiCMS is a content management system designed specifically for small and medium-sized enterprises, self-media, and multi-site managers, with its core advantages lying in providing efficient, flexible, and comprehensive content creation, publishing, and optimization tools.By refining content management, we can not only attract new users, but also maintain existing user groups by continuously providing high-quality information.
Next, I will elaborate on how to effectively manage and publish various types of document content in AnQiCMS, such as articles and product information.
Flexibly define content structure: content model management
In AnQiCMS, the publishing of content is not a one-size-fits-all approach, but is based on its powerful 'Content Model' feature.This means we can define unique structures for different types of content based on actual business needs.The system is built-in with 'Article Model' and 'Product Model', but we can also create more custom models as needed, such as 'Event', 'Case', or 'Download'.
When managing content models, we can set names, database table names, URL aliases for each model, and most importantly, customize its exclusive fields.These custom fields are where content flexibility lies, such as adding 'price' and 'inventory' fields for the 'product model', and adding 'author' and 'source' fields for the 'article model'.Each field can be set as a single-line text, number, multi-line text, radio, checkbox, or dropdown, and can be configured for whether it is required and the default value.This modular design ensures structured storage of content, facilitates flexible frontend calls and display, and lays a foundation for later data analysis and content expansion.
Organize content in order: document classification management
The effective organization of content is the key to improving user experience and website maintainability.In AnQiCMS, document classification plays a crucial role.Each category must belong to a specific content model, and once created, the model it belongs to cannot be changed.
The category management interface clearly displays all the created categories, making it convenient for us to quickly view the document list under them, add subcategories, or edit category details.When creating or editing a category, we can set the category name, introduction, and configure 'display order', 'SEO title', 'keywords', and 'custom URL' as needed.AnQiCMS also supports specifying a "category template" for categories to achieve personalized display, and even allows setting the child categories to inherit the template style from the parent level.In addition, we can upload 'Banner images' and 'thumbnails' for categories, and fill in 'category content', making the category page itself into a landing page rich in information value.
Creation and publication: detailed process of adding documents
AnQiCMS provides a feature-rich document addition interface, ensuring we can fully input and optimize content.
Content creation starts with "Document Title", which is the H1 title of the content and is a required item.To enhance the search engine optimization of the content, we can also set 'recommended attributes' for the document, such as headlines, recommendations, sliders, etc., which facilitate featured displays on the homepage or other sections.
The document keywords can be manually entered or selected from a preset keyword library, and multiple keywords should be separated by English commas, which conforms to the search engine's inclusion habits.“Document Summary” is a concise summary of the article. If not manually filled in, the system will automatically extract the first 150 characters from the text.
The core 'Document Content' editor is powerful, supporting various editing modes such as title levels, citations, bold, underline, italic, code blocks, emojis, links, images, videos, tables, and more.It is worth mentioning that it also supports importing materials from the "paragraph material library" and uploaded images, which greatly improves the efficiency of content creation.If the Markdown editor is enabled, the system will automatically render Markdown content as HTML.
In terms of content attribution, 'Category' is required, which determines the content model of the document and thus displays the corresponding custom fields.For example, after selecting "Product Category", the exclusive fields of the product model will appear in "Other Parameters" for filling in.
The 'Document Image' usually refers to a thumbnail, which we can select from the image library or upload a new one.If no image is uploaded but the content contains an image, the system will automatically grab the first image as a thumbnail.
“Custom URL” is a static rule service, by default it will automatically generate pinyin according to the title, but we can also manually modify it and ensure the uniqueness of the entire site.
The default release time is the current time, but AnQiCMS supports a "scheduling release" feature, which allows us to set it to a future time so that the system can automatically release at a specified moment, achieving operation automation.
“Tag label” is similar to a topic, providing another way to associate content other than categories, which helps users discover related content.We can choose an existing tag or create a new one.
In the "other parameters", we can perform deeper SEO optimization, including setting the "SEO title", "standard links" (used to specify canonical tags), "fixed links", and "document templates" (specifying independent display templates for specific documents).The various "custom fields" defined in the content model will also be presented here, for us to fill in according to the content characteristics.
Enhance content discoverability: Tag management
The tag in AnQiCMS is a cross-category, cross-model content association tool.The document tag management page allows us to create, edit, and delete tags.Each tag contains fields such as 'Tag Name', 'Index Letter', 'Custom URL', 'SEO Title', 'Tag Keywords', and 'Tag Description'.By tagging documents with relevant labels, we can provide users with more flexible browsing paths and enhance the semantic association of content, improving the crawling and indexing efficiency of search engines.
Continuous optimization and maintenance: Document list and more features
After the content is published, the management work is far from over. The "Document Management" center of AnQiCMS provides comprehensive post-maintenance functions.
In the 'Document List', we can filter and search through 'Document Title', 'Content Model', and 'Categorized' to quickly locate the target content.The list also supports custom display columns to meet different management needs.
“Document keyword replacement” is an efficient batch operation that allows us to replace the specified keywords in the entire site's documents at once, even supporting regular expression replacement. This is particularly useful when adjusting content strategy or dealing with sensitive word review.
AnQiCMS also provides a 'Document Recycle Bin' feature.All deleted documents are temporarily stored here, retained for 7 days, during which we can choose to 'restore documents' or 'permanently delete', effectively avoiding the risk of accidental deletion.
In addition to articles and products, AnQiCMS also supports "Single Page Management" for creating and maintaining independent pages like "About Us" and "Contact Us".These page management methods are similar to documents, and they also support custom URLs, SEO settings, template specifications, and content editing.
“Picture Resource Management” is the entry point for centrally managing all images and video resources on the website.Here, we can classify, batch transfer, delete, and view detailed information about media resources.AnQiCMS also includes features such as 'Webp image format conversion', 'automatic compression of large images', and 'thumbnail processing methods' to ensure the loading speed and storage efficiency of media content.
Content optimization strategy after release
