As an experienced website operation expert, I deeply understand the importance of gathering the brand's influence from various platforms to the official website.YouTube channel serves as the core battlefield for video content marketing, and the effective display and management of its links are particularly crucial in content management systems like AnQiCMS.Today, let's delve into how to set up and accurately and effectively display your YouTube channel link on the AnQiCMS backend.
Make your YouTube channel shine on AnQiCMS: Complete Guide to Display and Effectiveness
In the surge of digital marketing, video content is undoubtedly a powerful medium for reaching users and conveying brand stories.YouTube as the world's largest video sharing platform, carries countless excellent contents of enterprises and self-media.Seamlessly integrate your YouTube channel link into the website built with AnQiCMS, which not only enhances user experience but also effectively guides website visitors to your video homepage, further deepening interaction.AnQiCMS as a comprehensive and easy-to-expand content management system, provides us with a convenient solution.
Step 1: Set the YouTube channel link in the AnQiCMS backend
AnQiCMS centralizes the basic information and contact details of the website, greatly simplifying the daily work of the operation staff.To set the YouTube channel link, we need to go to the 'Backend Settings' area of the system.
First, log in to your AnQiCMS admin interface.In the left navigation bar, find and click on 'Background Settings', then select 'Contact Information Settings'.This module is used to manage all external contact methods on the website, including contacts, phone numbers, email addresses, and of course, mainstream social media links.
On the "Contact Information Settings" page, you will see a series of preset contact information fields.Scroll down, and you will find fields reserved specifically for social media, including 'Youtube'.The complete URL addressEnter it. Please note that the link must end withhttps://orhttp://Start by ensuring this is a directly accessible valid link. For example, if the address of your channel ishttps://www.youtube.com/@AnQiCMSpaste this address in full.
If you want to display more than just a YouTube channel, or if you want to have a more detailed classification of YouTube links (such as main channel, sub-channel, etc.), AnQiCMS also provides a powerful 'custom setting parameter' feature.You can find the 'Custom Settings Parameters' area at the bottom of the 'Contact Information Settings' page, click 'Add New Custom Parameter', create a parameter name that is distinctive such as 'YoutubeChannel2' or 'YouTube Homepage', and set its value to the corresponding YouTube link.This flexibility allows AnQiCMS to meet various complex content operation needs.
Second step: Call the YouTube channel link in the AnQiCMS template
After the background settings are properly done, the next step is to present this link on the front page of the website.AnQiCMS's template system uses syntax similar to Django, allowing easy data retrieval through concise tags.
To display YouTube channel links, we need to edit the template files of the website. These files are usually located in the root directory of your website./template
AnQiCMS provides a namedcontactThe label, specifically used to call the information configured in the "Contact Information Settings". The general syntax for calling YouTube links is as follows:
{% contact youtubeLink with name="Youtube" %}
Here, we assign the YouTube link obtained from the backend to a variable namedyoutubeLinkThe variable. To ensure the validity of the link and a good user experience, we should place it in an HTML's<a>In tags, add some recommended attributes. A complete and robust example might look like this:
{% contact youtubeLink with name="Youtube" %}
{% if youtubeLink %}
<a href="{{ youtubeLink }}" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" title="访问我们的 YouTube 频道">
<!-- 这里可以放置 YouTube 官方图标或一段描述性文字 -->
<img src="/public/static/images/youtube-icon.svg" alt="YouTube 频道图标" style="width: 24px; height: 24px;">
<span>我们的 YouTube 频道</span>
</a>
{% else %}
<!-- 如果后台未设置链接，此处可以显示占位符或不显示 -->
<p>YouTube 频道链接尚未配置。</p>
{% endif %}
In this code, we first use{% contact ... %}Tags retrieve the YouTube link set in the backgroundyoutubeLinka variable, and then through a{% if youtubeLink %}Conditionally judge to render HTML code only when the link exists, to avoid displaying empty link tags.
<a>the tag inhref="{{ youtubeLink }}"Directly references the obtained link.target="_blank"The property makes the link open in a new tab, preventing the user from leaving the current website.rel="noopener noreferrer"This is a very important security and performance optimization attribute, which can effectively prevent new opened pages from maliciously controlling the current page and prevent the referrer information of the current page from being passed to the new page.titleproperties andaltProperties help enhance accessibility and SEO.
If you used custom parameters to set the YouTube link, such as "YouTube Home Page", the calling method is also similar:
{% contact customYoutubeLink with name="YouTube主页" %}
{% if customYoutubeLink %}
<a href="{{ customYoutubeLink }}" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" title="访问我们的 YouTube 主页">
访问 YouTube 主页
</a>
{% endif %}
Third step: Ensure the validity of the link and **practice
It is not enough to just display the link; we also need to take some measures to ensure the validity of the link and the user experience.
- Complete URL input is fundamental:Always use the complete URL, including the protocol when setting up in the background,
https://). This is the premise to ensure that the link can jump correctly in any environment. - Condition judgment to avoid empty links:Used in the template
{% if youtubeLink %}Such condition judgments are very critical. They can avoid invalid links appearing on the front page when the link is not configured in the background.<a>Tags, this can affect the appearance and may also lead to abnormal HTML structure. - Use
target="_blank"andrel="noopener noreferrer":As mentioned earlier,target="_blank"It is to make external links open in a new window and keep the user on your website.rel="noopener noreferrer"**Practical, modern Web development, which enhances security and optimizes performance. - Descriptive anchor text and icons:Avoid using vague phrases like 'Click here' as link text.Use "Access our YouTube channel" or directly display the YouTube icon to clearly inform users of the link's purpose.
altAttribute descriptions. - Regularly check links:Even if the settings are correct, external links may fail for various reasons (e.g., YouTube)
