How to batch modify the link or text content of the home page Banner?

As an experienced website operations expert, I am well aware of the importance of the homepage banner in terms of visual impact, brand image, and user guidance.In daily operations, we often encounter the need to batch adjust the link or text content of the home page banner, whether it is to cooperate with market activities, update product information, or optimize SEO strategies, it is crucial to complete these operations efficiently and conveniently.

English CMS (EnglishCMS) as an enterprise-level content management system, was designed with the actual needs of operators in mind from the beginning.Today, let's delve into how to efficiently and accurately batch modify the link or text content of the homepage Banner in AnQiCMS.

Understanding the composition of AnQiCMS homepage Banner

Before we begin modifying, we must first understand the basic composition of the home page Banner in AnQiCMS. According to the template tag document of AnQiCMS, we can see that the home page Banner is usually through{% bannerList banners %}This tag is called in the front-end template. Each Banner entry (item) contains a series of available fields, such as:

  • Logo: The image address of the Banner.
  • Link: Banner点击后跳转的链接地址。
  • Title: Banner的标题文字。
  • Description: Banner的描述文字。
  • Alt: Banner图片的Alt文本（通常用于SEO和无障碍访问）。
  • Type: Banner的分组名称，允许您将不同用途的Banner进行分类管理。

These fields together determine the display form and function of the Banner on the front-end. Therefore, whether it is to modify the link or the text, we need to operate around these core fields.

Batch modify Banner text content: Use 'Site-wide content replacement' and 'Template filters'

When you need to adjust the titles, descriptions, or Alt text on multiple Banners, making changes one by one can be very time-consuming. Anqi CMS provides two main methods for batch processing text content:

1. English "Full Site Content Replacement" feature: One-time global text update

The "Full Site Content Replacement" feature of AnQi CMS is a powerful operation tool that allows you to replace specified keywords or links throughout the entire website with one click. Although this feature is described in detail under "Document Management" (help-content-list.mdMentioned in "auto", but its core replacement mechanism is also applicable to text fields in other content types such as Banner.

  • Operation path speculation：usually, you will find it in the AnQiCMS background“Function Management”module“Content Replacement”or similar options.
  • Operation steps:
    1. Go to the “Function Management”>“Content Replacement” page in the background.
    2. You will see an interface that allows you to set the "Find" and "Replace" words.
    3. In the "Find word
    4. Enter new text content in the "Replace word" field (for example: "New Autumn Collection Launch").
    5. Confirm the replacement range and pattern (options such as full-site replacement or specified range replacement are usually provided), and execute the replacement operation with caution.

The advantages of this method aredirect and efficient，can modify all matching text at once, which is very suitable for long-term text content updates. But please note that it will modify the original data in the database.

2. Combine template filters: Flexible display text adjustment (Advanced)

For some temporary or quick test text adjustments, or when you do not want to directly modify the original Banner data in the database, you can consider using the filter function of AnQiCMS template engine to perform dynamic replacement during frontend template rendering.filter-replace.mdEnglish described in detail.replaceUsage of filters.

  • Implementation principle.In the template code of calling Banner text content, add.replaceFilter.
  • Sample code.： Assuming your Banner title is{{item.Title}}, you want to replace '优惠' with 'Special Offer'.
    
<a href="{{item.Link}}" target="_blank">
    <img src="{{item.Logo}}" alt="{{item.Alt|replace:"优惠,特惠"}}" /> {# Alt文本替换 #}
    <h5>{{item.Title|replace:"优惠,特惠"}}</h5> {# 标题文字替换 #}
    <p>{{item.Description|replace:"全场满减,限时折扣"}}</p> {# 描述文字替换 #}
</a>
  • AdvantagesThis method does not touch the database, only affects the front-end display, and is very flexible. You can quickly rollback changes, or display different text for different scenarios (such as A/B testing).
  • Limitations：English requires template editing permissions, and changes will only take effect at the template level, with the original data remaining unchanged. For large-scale and frequent structural data changes, it is still recommended to use the backend features.

Batch Modify Banner Link: Precise Location and Direct Operation

Different from the text content, the Banner link (LinkField is typically structured data, it is not recommended to use the 'Global content replacement' feature for batch modification, as this may lead to data structure confusion or unexpected replacement effects.Modify the Banner link, we prefer to directly operate on the Banner management module.

1. Individually modify the background Banner management interface

This is the most direct and safest way, especially suitable for cases with a limited number of links or requiring fine-tuning.

  • Operation path speculation：usually, you will find it in the AnQiCMS background“Backend Settings”/“Page Resources”or“Function Management”Find it under the Modules section.“Banner Management”or“Advertisement Placement Management”Options.
  • Operation steps:
    1. Navigate to the corresponding Banner management page of AnQiCMS backend.
    2. Here, you should be able to see the list of all created Banners.
    3. Find the Banner entry you need to modify, click the "Edit" button.
    4. Modify precisely in the editing interface.LinkThe field is the new link address.
    5. Save the changes.

If your Banner uses "Group Name" (Typeparameter, such astag-/anqiapi-other/3498.htmlas described in it), please make sure you are modifying in the correct group.

2. English batch import and export (requires system support or advanced customization)

If your website has a large number of banners (for example, dozens or even hundreds), and you need to update the links in bulk, manually modifying each one will be very inefficient. Although the default documentation of Anqi CMS does not explicitly state that the Banner module supports batch export and import functions, considering its core functions of "content collection and batch import" and "import API interface", AnQiCMS 项目优势.md,changelog.mdWe have reason to infer or expect that such advanced features can also be realized in Banner management, or can be achieved through secondary development/API.

  • Assumed process:
    1. Export Banner DataFind the "Export" function in the Banner Management interface to export existing Banner data as an Excel or CSV file.
    2. Local batch editingOpen the exported file using spreadsheet software (such as Excel), inLinkbatch update the new link address in the field column
