The detailed steps to batch replace keywords and links in AnQiCMS background

This powerful feature is usually located in the "Content Management" module of the Anqi CMS backend, which is specifically used to handle batch modification needs of document content.

Find and click on the menu in the left navigation bar.Content Managementmenu, then select theDocument ManagementorDocument List. Here is a collection of all the articles, products, or other document types on your website.

Click it to open the batch replacement operation interface. This interface is designed to be very intuitive, aiming to guide you through the replacement task.

3. Set replacement rulesIn the pop-up batch replacement window, you will see two main input boxes:

   • Search contentEnter the specific keyword or link you want to locate in all documents.
   • Replace: Enter the new keyword or link you want to replace here.

   For example, if you want to replace the 'old company name' with the 'new company name', just fill in the 'Find content' with the 'old company name' and the 'Replace with' with the 'new company name'.If you need to replace the link, the operation method is also similar, replace the old URL path with the new URL path.

4. Master advanced replacement skills - Regular Expressions: AnQiCMS's batch replacement function is not a simple one-to-one replacement, it also supportsregular expressions. This provides infinite possibilities for more complex and intelligent replacement tasks.

   • When to use?When you need to match a pattern rather than fixed text, regular expressions come into play.For example, you want to replace all phone numbers formatted as "Phone: XXX-XXXX-XXXX" or only replace links of specific domains.
   • How to use?If you are familiar with regular expressions, you can directly write a rule-compliant expression in the "Search Content" box. AnQiCMS will start with by{and end with}The input is recognized as a regular expression. For example,{[0-9]+}It can match consecutive numbers.
   • Built-in rules: To make it convenient for users not familiar with regular expressions, AnQiCMS also has some commonly used rules built-in, such as{邮箱地址}/{日期}/{电话号码}/{网址}Wait. You can directly select it and replace it with the corresponding new content.
   • Cautious is the goldRemember that regular expressions are powerful, but they can easily cause unintended errors in replacements if not written properly, and may even damage the integrity of the document.Before the formal application, it is strongly recommended that you thoroughly test in a non-production environment, or use a very clear and small-impact text for testing first.

5. Execute the replacement operationSet the search and replace content and then click the "OK" or "Execute" button.At this time, AnQiCMS will not immediately update all pages on the entire site.Automatically executed when the document is published or re-edited and saved.This means that you do not need to worry that the replacement operation will affect the real-time content of the website. When you save a document, it will automatically apply these batch replacement rules.

Strategies and precautions in practice

• Pilot testing on a small scaleMake sure to select a few test articles to replace before performing a large-scale site replacement and check if the effect meets expectations.This can effectively avoid the problem of full-site content issues due to rule errors.
• Backups are the golden ruleBefore performing any batch operation that may affect the database content, please make sure to back up your website data completely.Once any unexpected problem occurs, you can quickly recover to the previous state.
• Understanding the 'Take effect when released' mechanism: Remember that the batch replacement rule you set will not immediately modify all the content in the database.They are applied when the document is 'published' or 're-edited and saved'.This means that if you want all documents to apply the new rules, you may need to save them one by one, or use other batch operations of AnQiCMS (such as batch modifying the status and then saving them in batches) to trigger the replacement.
• Pay attention to the replacement rangeThe AnqiCMS document management module allows you to filter documents based on multiple conditions such as title, model, category, and more.If you only want to replace documents in a specific category, you can first filter the document list page and then perform the replacement operation.Although the batch replacement feature is itself aimed at "all documents", the filtering feature can help you plan and verify the replacement effect more specifically before execution.
• Regular expression pitfallsFor example, using{微信号}When replacing rules, it may accidentally match email addresses or URLs containing a combination of numbers and letters, resulting in unintended damage.Therefore, it is crucial to write precise regular expressions and conduct multiple rounds of testing for complex replacement requirements.

By following these detailed steps and comprehensive precautions, the batch replacement feature of AnQiCMS will become a powerful assistant to help you improve your content operation efficiency, making the management and optimization of website content unprecedentedly easy.
