1. Core weapon:systemwith the tag andsiteIdParameter

To obtain the basic configuration information of the specified site, we first need to summon the most core system setting tag of AnQiCMS -system. This tag is used to retrieve the global configuration of a website, such as the website name, logo, filing number, etc. Usually, when you use it in a template,{% system with name="SiteName" %}When such a label is used, it will automatically retrieve the name of the current site.

ThissiteIdIt is the unique ID corresponding to each site in the "Multi-site Management" feature of the Anqi CMS backend. You can view the unique ID of each site in the multi-site list on the backend.siteId.

For example, assume you have onesiteIdWith2sub-site, whose website name is 'AnQi Mall', and you want to display it at some location on the main site:

{# 获取siteId为2的站点的网站名称 #}
{% system subSiteName with name="SiteName" siteId="2" %}
<div>欢迎访问我们的兄弟站点：{{ subSiteName }}</div>

In addition to the site name,systemTags also support getting other rich configuration information, such as:

• Website Logo (SiteLogo):

  
  {% system subSiteLogo with name="SiteLogo" siteId="2" %}
  <img src="{{ subSiteLogo }}" alt="安企商城Logo" />
  

• The home page address (BaseUrl):

  
  {% system subSiteUrl with name="BaseUrl" siteId="2" %}
  <a href="{{ subSiteUrl }}">前往安企商城</a>
  

• Website filing number (SiteIcp), Copyright information (SiteCopyright), Custom parametersThey can all be changed in the same way, just need to modifynameto get the value of the parameter.

  {% contact subSitePhone with name="Cellphone" siteId="3" %}
  <div>如需帮助，请拨打：{{ subSitePhone }}</div>
  

  You can also obtain its contact address, email, WeChat, etc., just by replacing thenameparameter withAddress/Email/WechatLeave the corresponding fields unchanged.

• Get the SEO configuration of the specified site (tdkLabel):It is very useful to obtain the title, keywords, and description of a specified site when performing cross-site SEO strategies or data presentation:

  {% tdk subSiteTitle with name="Title" siteId="2" %}
  <meta name="other-site-title" content="{{ subSiteTitle }}">
  

  Similarly, replacenameparameters forKeywordsorDescriptionJust do it.

• Get custom configuration (diyLabel):If you have customized some parameters in the background "Global Function Settings" of a site, such as a specific "Announcement Link", you can also access it bydiyTags andsiteIdto get:

  {% diy subSiteNoticeLink with name="NoticeLink" siteId="2" %}
  {% if subSiteNoticeLink %}
  <div><a href="{{ subSiteNoticeLink }}">查看安企商城的最新公告</a></div>
  {% endif %}
  

The flexible application of these tags makes it easy to call data during multi-site operations, greatly enhancing the efficiency of template development and the ability to integrate data.
