As an experienced website operation expert, I fully understand the importance of the comment function to the activity of the website and user interaction.Among many content management systems, AnQiCMS has won the favor of many operators with its high efficiency and flexibility.Today, let's delve into a common issue in AnQiCMS regarding comment management: 'Does AnQiCMS support anonymous user comment submission?'}]How should we elegantly display the information of these commenters in the template?

AnQiCMS评论功能解析：匿名提交与模板展示深度指南

AnQiCMS as an enterprise-level content management system developed based on the Go language, is committed to providing efficient and customizable content solutions.Its powerful feature set, from multi-site management to advanced SEO tools, provides a solid foundation for content operations.In terms of user interaction, the comment feature is naturally an indispensable part.Then, how does AnQiCMS handle the submission and display of user comments, especially anonymous comments?

AnQiCMS是否支持匿名用户提交评论？

In AnQiCMS's comment mechanism, we can find the answer from the structure of its comment form. According to the documentation on comment form submission (tag-/anqiapi-other/158.html），user needs to provide several key fields when submitting a comment:archive_id(corresponding document ID),user_name(username of the commentor) andcontent(comment content). Among,user_nameThe field is explicitly marked as 'required'.

This means that the AnQiCMS systemdoes not natively provide a complete 'anonymous' comment submission feature.The user must fill in a username to successfully submit a comment.However, this does not mean that users cannot implement 'anonymous' comments.Here, 'anonymous' tends to be more of a 'pseudo-anonymous' state.Users can choose to fill in a generic name that does not reveal their real identity, such as 'Visitor', 'Anonymous User', '路人甲', and so on.The system does not force users to register or log in to post comments; it only requires commenters to attach a name to their remarks.This design balances the convenience of user comment submission and the need for content traceability.

Therefore, if your operational strategy is to allow users to comment without providing any name, the default comment feature of AnQiCMS may not be able to meet this requirement directly, which may require secondary development or specific logic processing in the frontend template, for example, automatically filling in a "Anonymous User" as the default value when the user does not input anything. But under the default settings,user_nameThis is a mandatory field to be filled in.

How to handle the display of commenters in the template?

Once the comment is submitted successfully, whether it is a registered user or a 'pseudo-anonymous' user, AnQiCMS will provide the corresponding commenter information during template rendering. This is mainly achieved bycommentListThe tag is used to implement. This tag will loop to output the comment list, each comment item (item) contains a wealth of fields, of which the most directly related to the display of the reviewer isUserNameandUserId.

  • UserNameThis field will directly display the name filled in by the commentor when submitting the comment.For the "pseudo-anonymousFor registered users, the username they registered with will usually be displayed.
  • UserId: This field can be used to determine if the commenter is a registered user. IfUserIdis 0 or empty, it usually means this is a comment submitted by a non-registered user; ifUserIdIf the value is present, it indicates that the comment is from a registered user.

By using these two fields, we can flexibly control the display of the commentor in the template to achieve a more user-friendly interface:

  1. Basic Display The simplest way is to output directly in the template{{item.UserName}}. Whatever the user inputs, it will be displayed directly.

    <span>{{item.UserName}}</span>

  2. Distinguish registered users from anonymous users： In order to give users a clearer understanding, we can judge and display different states according to.UserId. For example, ifUserIdIf the value is 0, it will be displayed as 'Anonymous User' or 'Visitor' regardless of the actual name they entered.

    {% if item.UserId == 0 %}
    <span>匿名用户</span>
{% else %}
    <span>{{item.UserName}}</span> {# 此时item.UserName通常是注册用户名 #}
{% endif %}

    You can also add an identifier to the registered username to enhance distinction:

    {% if item.UserId == 0 %}
    <span>匿名用户</span>
{% else %}
    <span>{{item.UserName}} (注册用户)</span>
{% endif %}

  3. handle review statusComments list of theStatusThe field (Status = 1 indicates approval, Status = 0 indicates in review) can also be combined with the reviewer's information to display, providing a more comprehensive user experience.

    <div>
    <span>
        {% if item.Status != 1 %}
        审核中：{% if item.UserId == 0 %}匿名用户{% else %}{{item.UserName}}{% endif %}
        {% else %}
        {% if item.UserId == 0 %}匿名用户{% else %}{{item.UserName}}{% endif %}
        {% endif %}
    </span>
    {# 其他评论信息，如时间、内容等 #}
</div>

By using the above methods, we can fine-tune the control of commenters' information in the AnQiCMS template according to actual operational needs, which can satisfy the freedom of users to express their opinions while maintaining the orderliness and friendliness of website content management.

Common Questions (FAQ)

  1. Does AnQiCMS support comment review?Yes, AnQiCMS supports comment review function.In the background “Function Management” under “Content Comment Management”, operation personnel can view, review, or delete user submitted comments and other operations.StatusThe field is usually 0, and you can display a "Under review" prompt in the template accordingly.

  2. I hope that AnQiCMS can automatically display 'Visitor' if the user does not input a name when commenting.The comment submission form of AnQiCMS defaults to requiringuser_nameThis field is required.If you want to achieve the effect of automatically filling in "Visitor" when no name is entered, you need to perform JavaScript logic processing in the front-end template.user_nameField is empty, if it is empty, then its value is set to 'Visitor' by JS before submitting.This belongs to the category of frontend custom development, not the automatically filled feature provided by the AnQiCMS backend by default.

  3. Can I also display other information of the commentator in the comment list besides the username? commentListin the tags provideditemFields besidesUserNameandUserIdalso includeIp(User IP),VoteCount(Like count) andCreatedTime(Comment time) and other information. In the template, you can use these fields to enrich the display content of the reviewer, such as displaying the comment posting time, or throughUserIdFurther query the avatar information of the registered user (if the system provides an associated field for the user avatar).Please note that it is generally not recommended to directly display the user's IP address for privacy protection reasons.
