AnQiCMS page label: Control your website navigation - default page number display quantity and modification strategy

For any content-rich website, efficient content navigation is crucial.When the content list is too long, the pagination feature can help users browse information systematically, improve access efficiency, and also have a positive impact on search engine optimization (SEO).AnQiCMS is proficient in this, providing flexible pagination tags that allow operators to finely control the display of pages according to actual needs.

What is the default page number display quantity?

When talking about the default page number display quantity of AnQiCMS pagination tags, it is worth noting that the design philosophy of AnQiCMS tends to delegate more control to template developers.This means that the system itself does not have a "hard-coded" global default value to determine the display quantity of all page numbers.Instead, this 'default value' is usually reflected in the official example template code provided.

According to the AnQiCMS pagination tag document, we see{% pagination pages with show="5" %}...{% endpagination %}such usage examples. Here is theshow="5"就是一个明确的指示，它告诉分页标签在当前页码的周围显示总共5个页码链接。具体来说，如果当前页是第3页，它可能会显示如“1 2”，“English":34 5 such page number sequence (of course, it will dynamically adjust according to the total number of pages and the current page position). Therefore, we can understand that in many official or default templates implemented in AnQiCMS,5It is a widely adopted number of page display.

ThisshowThe parameter setting is very practical, it balances the convenience of navigation and the cleanliness of the page.Too few pages may make users feel limited in their choices, while too many pages can make the page look bulky, especially on mobile devices.

Where can I modify this default value?

Since we know that the number of pages displayed is throughshowParameters controlled, then the location to modify this value is very clear - it is located on your AnQiCMS website.Template file.

AnQiCMS template files are usually stored in/templateThe content is organized under directories and sorted by different page types and modules. For example, if you want to modify the pagination display number of the article list page, you may need to find the template file that handles the article list, such asarchive/list.htmlorarchive/index.html, even thoughtag/list.htmletc.

After you open these template files, look for the one that contains{% pagination ... %}such code blocks. In this code block, you can find and modifyshowthe value of the parameter.

举例来说：

  • If you want the pagination area to display more page numbers around the current page, for example, 7, you can modify the code to:
    
{% pagination pages with show="7" %}
  • If you think 5 page numbers are too many and only want to display 3, the code will become:
    
{% pagination pages with show="3" %}

This template-level control method gives website operators great flexibility.You can set different page display strategies for different parts of the website, even for different content models.For example, on a product list page, you may want to display fewer page numbers to keep it concise; whereas on a technical article list page, you may want to display more page numbers for the convenience of users to quickly jump to older articles.

How to optimize the number of page number display?
