As an experienced website operations expert, I know how important it is to be flexible and efficient in responding to business needs in daily work.AnQiCMS (AnQiCMS) offers us many conveniences with its powerful functions and high customizability.However, sometimes we are faced with some simple form requirements, such as a quickly deployed contact us form, or a fixed-field event registration form, and we may not want to go to the trouble of configuring a custom content model on the backend for just a few fields.
Today, let's delve into a practical scenario: how to cleverly utilize the comment form tags of the Anq CMS backend without relying on custom field configuration.guestbookThis method can be used to build a complete static form. This approach helps us quickly launch forms, reduce the burden of backend configuration, and transfer more control to the front-end template.
Understand the operation mechanism of the Anqi CMS message form
Anqi CMS message form tagsguestbook(For referencetag-/anqiapi-other/162.htmlThe document itself has dual characteristics. It can dynamically generate form structures based on the fields you configure in the background "Function Management -> Website Comments" and also has a preset standard form submission interface/guestbook.htmlAnd it defaults to recognizing several core fields.This means that even if you have not added any additional custom fields for the comment feature in the background, the system can still identify and handle basic information such as the user's name, contact information, and comment content.
Based on this feature, we can bypass the dynamic field generation and directly use standard HTML elements to build a form in the front-end template, and then submit it to the safe CMS provided by/guestbook.htmlinterface.
The core steps to build a static form
Let's complete the construction of this static form step by step.
Step 1: Build the basic framework of the form
Firstly, we need to create a basic HTML structure for the form. This<form>tag needs to be specifiedmethod="post"so that the data can be submitted andactionThe attribute must point to the handling interface of the Anq CMS message function:/guestbook.htmlIn addition, we usually include a hiddenreturnField used to indicate how the backend should respond after submission, for example set tohtmlIt will refresh the page and display a success message, set tojsonIt will return JSON data, convenient for front-end asynchronous processing.
<form method="post" action="/guestbook.html">
<input type="hidden" name="return" value="html">
<!-- 核心字段将在此处添加 -->
<!-- 验证码部分也将在此处添加 -->
<button type="submit">提交留言</button>
</form>
Step two: Add the core field for Anqi CMS identification.
Next, we directly embed several core fields recognized by AnQi CMS in the form skeleton:user_name(User Name),contact(Contact information) andcontent(Message Content). These fields correspond to the following:<input>or<textarea>label'snameProperty. You can add appropriate properties according to your design requirements.id/placeholderandrequiredProperties to optimize user experience and implement basic client validation.
