As an experienced website operations expert, I am well aware that how to efficiently organize and conveniently retrieve information in a vast amount of content is the key to improving user experience and operational efficiency.AnQiCMS (AnQiCMS) is a system tailored for small and medium-sized enterprises and content operation teams, and it also shows great care in detail design.Today, let's talk about one of the seemingly simple features that can bring significant convenience to your website - the "Index Letters" of Tag tags.

What is the 'index letter' function of the Tag label?

In simple terms, the 'Index Letter' feature of the Tag (label) in the Anqi CMS is to manually specify a unique English letter (from A to Z) as the index identifier for each Tag (label).This letter is not automatically extracted from the Tag name by the system, but is a flexible additional attribute that content operators can configure according to their own needs when creating or editing Tag.

Its core purpose is to provide a structured classification and quick retrieval mechanism for a large number of theme-related Tags within the website.Imagine a situation where your website content becomes increasingly rich and the number of Tags keeps growing. Without a clear organization method, it becomes difficult for both users and administrators to effectively find the required tags and locate related content.The 'index letter' is specifically designed to address this pain point.

“Index letter” brings operational value and user experience improvement

Although this feature is subtle, it can bring many benefits to website operation:

  • Optimize user navigation and discovery:For users, when they want to browse a certain category of topics, they usually tend to look for indexes sorted by the first letter.Through the "Index Letter" feature, you can build a navigation module similar to an "A-Z dictionary" on the website front-end.Users can quickly filter and view all Tags and their associated content by simply clicking on letters such as A, B, C, etc., which greatly reduces the cost of information search, improves browsing efficiency, and enhances user stickiness.
  • Improve content organization and management efficiency:For the content operations team, managing hundreds and thousands of tags on the back-end is a cumbersome task.With the "index letter", managers can quickly filter Tags or process and review them in alphabetical order, thereby improving the efficiency of background content management.It provides a clear classification logic to help the team better plan and maintain the Tag system.
  • Enhance website professionalism and structure:A well-organized, easy-to-navigate website often leaves users with a professional and reliable impression.Through the introduction of 'Index Letter', your Tag page is no longer just a simple list, but presents a higher level of structure and professionalism. This has a positive impact on long-term brand building.

How to set up and use the 'Index Letters' in Anqi CMS?

In the Anqi CMS, enabling and using the "Index Alphabet" feature is very intuitive, mainly divided into two parts: backend configuration and frontend template invocation.

1. Backend configuration of "Index Alphabet":When you enter the "Content Management" module and go to the "Document Tags Here, you need to manually select an English letter as the index for each Tag.The system will strictly limit, allowing only one uppercase letter from A-Z, ensuring the standardization of the index.For example, if you have a Tag named “SEO optimization”, you can specify “S” as the index letter; if you have a “Go language tutorial”, you can specify “G”.

2. Front-end template calls 'Index Letter':For template developers, AnQi CMS provides powerful template tags that can easily be implemented on the front end to display and filter based on 'index letters'. You can use{% tagList tags with letter="A" %}This template tag, to dynamically retrieve all Tags specified as "A" letter index list. This means you can build a letter navigation bar (such as, a button list from A to Z) on the web page, and when the user clicks on a letter, the front-end page can display the corresponding list according to the selected letter.letterParameter, totagListPass the tag request and display the tags and related documents that meet the conditions in real time. In addition, each Tag object also contains aFirstLetterProperty, you can directly output the index letter of the Tag when traversing the Tag list to clearly display it on the page.For example, when displaying detailed information of a Tag, you can show

By using the above background configuration and front-end flexible invocation, you can fully utilize the value of 'index letter' and build an efficient and friendly Tag navigation system for your security CMS website.
