How to manage and add contact information (such as phone number, WeChat, WhatsApp) on the AnQiCMS backend?
As an experienced website operations expert, I fully understand the importance of an efficient content management system for the development of a company, especially in terms of information transmission and customer communication.AnQiCMS (AnQiCMS) leverages its powerful flexibility and ease of use, allowing website operators to easily manage various content, including crucial business contact information.
In today's digital marketing era, providing diverse contact channels such as phone numbers, WeChat, WhatsApp, and others is crucial for building customer trust and enhancing user experience.AnQiCMS is well-versed in this, providing an intuitive backend function that allows you to flexibly configure and display this information.Next, I will explain in detail how to manage and add these contact methods in the AnQiCMS backend and ensure they can seamlessly present on your website.
Unified management, convenient and efficient: contact information backend entry
To manage this key information, you first need to log in to the AnQiCMS backend. The entire process is very intuitive: navigate to the left-hand menu of「Backend Settings」and then click「Contact Information Settings」This module centralizes all configuration items related to external communication with the company, aiming to provide you with a clear and centralized management interface.
After entering the 'Contact Information Settings' page, you will see a series of AnQiCMS preset common contact information fields. These fields are designed to meet the daily display needs of most businesses, including:
- Contact:The company contact name displayed externally.
- Contact Phone:The core contact phone number of your company, through which customers can communicate directly with you.
- Contact address:Your company's location, convenient for customers to understand or visit.
- Contact Email:The company's email address, an important written communication channel.
- WeChat ID:Your company's WeChat personal account or public account ID.
- WeChat QR Code:You can upload your WeChat QR code image for easy scanning by customers.
These preset fields are usually sufficient to cover basic contact needs.You just need to fill in the accurate information in the corresponding text box and then save.Especially WeChat QR codes provide a convenient visual communication method, where users can simply scan to add.
Expand endless possibilities: Customize contact information (such as WhatsApp)
The strength of AnQiCMS lies in its exceptional flexibility, especially when dealing with global needs or the specific needs of certain customer groups. If you want to add contact information beyond the default fields, such as WhatsApp, which is commonly used by international users, or other social media links like Facebook, Twitter, AnQiCMS providesCustom Setting ParametersFunction, allowing you to expand according to actual business needs.
At the bottom of the 'Contact Settings' page, you will find a section named 'Custom Setting Parameters'.Here, you can easily add a new contact type.The specific operation steps are as follows:
- Add a new parameter:Click the add button below the "Custom Setting Parameters" area.
- Enter parameter name:This is a crucial step. The 'parameter name' is the unique identifier for template calls.I suggest you use English letters with clear semantics as parameter names, for example, to add a WhatsApp contact, you can enter
WhatsAppThe AnQiCMS system will automatically convert it to camel case for template calling, but keeping the input simple English spelling is more conducive to memory and management. - Enter the parameter value:The 'parameter value' is the specific content of the contact information. For example, if it is WhatsApp, you can enter your WhatsApp number (including the international dialing code, such as
+8613800138000Or a WhatsApp chat link likehttps://wa.me/8613800138000). If it's another social media, then enter the main page link. - Add a note:The 'Note' field does not display on the website front-end, but it is very important for backend management.You can specify "WhatsApp contact information", "Sales Department WeChat" and so on, for easy identification and maintenance in the future.
In this way, you can add any number and type of custom contact information to your website, whether it is for customers in different regions or the needs of different business departments, AnQiCMS can easily meet all these requirements.
The website front-end presents: Smart use of AnQiCMS template tags
In AnQiCMS, displaying these background configuration contact information on the website front-end is equally intuitive and efficient, thanks to its concise and powerful template tag system. You can use{% contact 变量名称 with name="字段名称" %}This tag can call any contact method you set up in the background.
Call preset contact method:
- Display contact phone number:
电话:{% contact with name="Cellphone" %} - Display WeChat ID:
微信:{% contact with name="Wechat" %} - Display WeChat QR code:
<img src="{% contact with name="Qrcode" %}" alt="微信二维码" />
- Display contact phone number:
Call custom contact method:
- For the WhatsApp we previously customized, just set
namethe attribute to the parameter name defined in the backend:WhatsApp:{% contact with name="WhatsApp" %}
- For the WhatsApp we previously customized, just set
Tip:
In practical application, to enhance the user experience, you can further optimize the display. For example, convert the phone number into a clickable dialing link:<a href="tel:{% contact with name="Cellphone" %}" rel="nofollow">电话:{% contact with name="Cellphone" %}</a>
Similarly, for WhatsApp, if you fill in the pure number in the background parameter value, you can create a click chat link like this:<a href="https://wa.me/{% contact with name="WhatsApp" %}" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">联系WhatsApp</a>
By these flexible calling methods, you can place contact information in the website header, footer, contact us page, or anywhere you want customers to easily access.AnQiCMS's modular design and tag system make everything easy, without the need for deep coding, you can achieve professional website functions.
Operation strategy and professional tips
As an operations expert, I suggest you consider the following points when managing contact information:
- Keep the information up to date:Regularly check that all contact information is accurate and valid to avoid losing customers due to outdated information.
