How to configure the custom URL of the Tag to take effect in the pseudo-static rules?

AnQi CMS as an experienced website operation expert, I know that the structure of URLs in content management systems is crucial for the SEO and UX of the website.A clear and meaningful URL can not only help search engines better understand the content of the page, but also make it easy for visitors to understand at a glance.Today, let's delve into how to configure the "Custom URL for Tag" in Anqi CMS in the pseudo-static rules to make it truly effective, making your website's Tag page more competitive.

AnQi CMS and URL optimization: the foundation of伪static

The Anqi CMS was designed with SEO-friendliness in mind from the outset, one of its core features is the powerful static and 301 redirect management.Traditional dynamic URLs often contain question marks and parameters, which are complex for search engines to crawl and不利于抓取。While pseudo-static technology can 'beautify' these dynamic links into paths similar to static HTML files, making the URL simpler and more semantically meaningful, thereby enhancing the efficiency and ranking potential of search engine crawling.

The importance of the Tag page is self-evident. They usually gather a large number of contents on the same theme, keywords within the website, which are important entry points for users to find relevant information and for search engines to understand the structural content of the website.Therefore, setting a custom, meaningful URL for Tag instead of the default numeric ID can significantly enhance its SEO performance and user-friendliness.Imagine a tab page link is/tag/seo-optimization.htmlIs it not better/tag-123.htmlto convey information more effectively, and easier to remember and share?

The value of custom URL tagging

Why should we take the trouble to set the custom URL for Tag? Its value lies in several aspects:

FirstlyEnhance keyword relevance. Including the keyword of Tag directly in the URL can make the search engine know the theme of this page more clearly, thus possibly obtaining a better ranking.

Next isEnhance user experience and brand imageA readable and logical URL that can increase user trust and make it easier for users to understand the content of the page. It can also subtly strengthen your website's brand image.

Furthermoreconvenient to manage and shareA meaningful custom URL is easier to manage internally and share externally than a random ID.

The Anqi CMS provides this powerful feature, but to make it effective on the frontend, it is not as simple as filling out a form; it needs to be cleverly combined with pseudo-static rules.

Configure Tag Custom URL: Operation Guide on the Backstage

In the Anqi CMS backend, setting a custom URL for Tag is the first step and it is also very intuitive.You need to go to the backend and find the 'Content Management' menu under the 'Document Tag' feature.In here, you can add or edit existing tags.

When you click to enter the editing page of a tag, you will see a field named "Custom URL".AnQi CMS is very intelligent, by default, it will automatically generate a customized URL in pinyin form based on the label name you enter, which is already a good starting point.But if you are not satisfied with the automatically generated URL or want it to be more personalized, you can manually enter the URL alias you expect.

When entering manually, there are several important details to pay attention to: this custom URL must ensure uniqueness throughout the entire site. If a duplicate occurs, the system will automatically add random numbers at the end to ensure uniqueness.In addition, the content of the custom URL has strict restrictions, it can only contain letters, numbers, and underscores, and cannot contain any spaces or special characters.This is the key to ensuring the standardization and stability of URLs.

Activate Custom URL: Key Configuration for Static Rules

However, simply filling in the custom URL on the tag editing page does not make it immediately effective on the front page.To make this custom URL truly effective, we must make the corresponding configuration in the website's 'pseudo-static rules'.This is the core of the problem.

The 'pseudo-static rules' management function of Anqi CMS is located under the 'Function Management' menu.Here, the system has built-in several common static rules patterns, such as numeric patterns, model naming patterns, etc., which can usually meet the needs of most websites.But to enable the custom URL of Tag, we need to select 'Custom Mode' and adjust the Tag rules within it.

The document explicitly states that the custom URL of Tag can only be used when the website's pseudo-static rules are enabled. This means that by default, such as{filename}the naming mode of this field is enabled.tag===/tag-{id}(-{page})This rule, although it can generate static URLs, is based on the Tag ID rather than the custom URL alias we set.

Therefore, we need to adjust the pseudo-static rule of Tag to include{filename}in the form of variables. Here is a recommended configuration example:

tag===/tags/{filename}(-{page})

This rule informs the Anqi CMS routing engine when encountering/tags/When the URL starts, it will try to match{filename}part, and parse it as the custom URL alias of the Tag. The last(-{page})Optional, used to support pagination display. If the Tag page does not require pagination, it can also be omitted.

After completing the modification of this rule, be sure to click "Save Configuration", then go back to the home page of the background or the "Update Cache" feature, clear the system cache to ensure that the new pseudo-static rules take effect immediately. Only in this way can you customize the URL for Tag as you have meticulously set up before, such as/tags/seo-optimization.htmlIt can be correctly parsed and accessed on the front end.

Considerations for Nginx/Apache server configuration

It is worth mentioning that the pseudo-static rules of Anqi CMS mainly take effect within its application.For Nginx or Apache and similar external web servers, they usually play the role of a reverse proxy.This means that whether it is a dynamic URL or a pseudo-static URL processed internally by AnQi CMS, it will be uniformly forwarded to the application port of the AnQi CMS (such as the default 8001 port).

Therefore, you do not need to write additional specific rewrite rules in the Nginx or Apache configuration file for the custom URL of Tag.As long as your web server is properly configured with reverse proxy, able to forward all web requests to the Anqi CMS for processing, then the effectiveness of the Tag custom URL depends entirely on the pseudo-static rule configuration of the Anqi CMS backend.If your website is configured with pseudo-static for the first time, you may need to add a set of common reverse proxy rules according to the installation documentation of Anqi CMS, such as the common ones in Nginx.try_files $uri $uri/index.html @AnqiCMS;Such configuration, but this is not a unique requirement of Tag custom URL.

Summarize: Make your Tag more influential

By following these steps, it is not difficult to see that activating the custom URL of Tag in Anqi CMS is a simple yet powerful two-step process: first, set a meaningful custom URL for each tag in the document tag management in the background; second, in the "function management" "pseudo-static rule" configuration, configure the Tag rule to include{filename}The form of a variable, for exampletag===/tags/{filename}(-{page}).

After completing these configurations, your Tag page will have a more friendly and SEO-friendly URL, which will help improve the visibility of the website in search engines, attract more targeted traffic, and provide users with a better browsing experience.
