As an experienced website operations expert, I know in my daily work that the flexibility of content display is important for website operation efficiency.AnQiCMS provides us with great convenience with its powerful content model and flexible tag system.bannerListCan the tag directly call the image of the article or product as a Banner?
In AnQiCMS, content management and display have a clear and flexible design philosophy. To understandbannerListThe way tags work, we need to first clarify their relationship with the website's image management logic.
bannerListThe core mechanism of the tag
Firstly, let's understand it.bannerListTag.As the name implies, it is mainly used to obtain the list of website banners (carousel images).In the background of Anqi CMS, there is usually a dedicated 'Banner Management' module or similar, allowing operators to upload images, set links, add descriptions and Alt text, and can also be grouped for management.
When you usebannerListWhen tagging, for example:
{% bannerList banners with type="default" %}
{% for item in banners %}
<a href="{{item.Link}}" target="_blank">
<img src="{{item.Logo}}" alt="{{item.Alt}}" />
<h5>{{item.Title}}</h5>
</a>
{% endfor %}
{% endbannerList %}
This code will iterate through all Banner images and related information that belong to the 'default' group in the 'Banner management' section on the backend, and then display them.item.LogoThe address directly pointed to is the image address uploaded or specified in the Banner Management.
From this mechanism, it can be seen that,bannerListTags focus on an independent Banner collection.It was originally designed to manage general or grouped banners at the website level, rather than being deeply bound to specific articles or product content.In other words, it does not automatically retrieve thumbnails or content images by article or product ID.
Content images: image management for articles, products, categories, and single pages
However, AnQiCMS provides a comprehensive image management feature in core content types such as articles, products, categories, and single pages.
- Articles and products: Whether through
archiveListOrarchiveDetailWhen you get the article or product information by tag, you can easily get their cover images (item.Logo), thumbnails (item.Thumb), and group images (item.ImagesThese images are uploaded and managed along with the creation or editing of the article or product, closely connected to the content entity. - Category:
categoryDetailTags allow you to get the Banner image of the category (ImagesThis is usually used for the top display on category pages, and it is also directly uploaded and managed in the category editing interface. - single page:
pageDetailTags also provide a Banner image for a single page (Images), Similar to categories, it is convenient to configure a dedicated top image for independent pages.
These images are independently set in their respective content management modules. They are part of the content's own attributes, rather than distributed by a unified Banner management module.
bannerListThe association and flexible application with content images
So,bannerListCan tags directly call the image of an article or product as a Banner?
The answer is:bannerListThe label itself does not have the function to directly associate and call its image as a Banner through article or product ID.Its job is to present the list of images that have been configured in the background Banner management module.
This does not mean that your requirements cannot be met. As a senior operator, we can always find flexible solutions:
Manual addition (the most direct but not dynamic)If you want a specific article or product image to appear in the home page banner area, you can manually upload the image to the 'Banner Management' module of Anqi CMS and set up the corresponding link and description.This is the simplest and most direct method, but lacks dynamism. Each time the image is updated or the product changes, it needs to be manually adjusted.
Achieve dynamic Banner through custom template logic (more flexible but requires code support)If you seek dynamism, such as automatically displaying the images of "The latest 3 products released" in the Banner area on the homepage, then you will not use directly.
bannerListTags to implement. On the contrary, you will use the powerful AnQiCMS to implement.archiveListTags, combined with custom template code to build a "pseudo Banner" area.For example, if you want to display the images of the latest three products as a Banner:
<div class="custom-product-banner"> {% archiveList latestProducts with moduleId="产品模型ID" order="id desc" limit="3" %} {% for product in latestProducts %} <a href="{{product.Link}}" target="_blank"> <img src="{{product.Logo}}" alt="{{product.Title}}" /> <h3>{{product.Title}}</h3> <p>{{product.Description|truncatechars:50}}</p> </a> {% endfor %} {% endarchiveList %} </div>This code will dynamically fetch the latest 3 products from the "Products" content model and use their cover images
product.Logo) and title, description, and other information, forming an area similar to a Banner. Although it does not usebannerListLabels, but it has achieved the effect of dynamically generating Banner images based on content, meeting more advanced operational needs.
In summary, the security CMS ofbannerListThe image management of tags and content (articles, products, etc.) is a relatively independent system.bannerListUsed to present the preset website-level Banner, where the images of articles/products are an integral part of the content. If you want to use the images of articles/products for the website Banner, you can choose to manually configure them in the Banner management module, or by writing custom template code, utilizingarchiveListExtract content images dynamically with tags, thus achieving more flexible content display.The flexibility of Anqi CMS is precisely reflected in the various ways it provides to achieve different operational goals.
