Flexible filtering: accurately locate the required content

Having a rich list type is just the first step, what's more important is how to accurately filter out the target information from a vast amount of content.AnQiCMS provides a multi-dimensional filtering mechanism, making content management and display more refined.

Filter by category

Categorization is the most basic and most commonly used way to organize content. InarchiveListYou can filter through the tags.categoryIdThe parameter specifies which category or categories of content to display. For example, if you want to display the latest articles under the "News Dynamic" category on the homepage, just pass the corresponding category ID tocategoryIdAs soon as possible.

Filter by content model

The content model is the unique feature of AnQiCMS, which allows you to define the structure of content (for example, the article model has a title, body, and the product model may also have price, inventory, etc.). ThroughmoduleIdParameters, you can specify to only display content under a specific content model.This is very useful in websites with multiple businesses or content types.For example, in one area of the website, only the content under all "product models" is displayed, while in another area, only the content under "article models" is displayed, even if they belong to different categories, they can be clearly distinguished.

Advanced Custom Filtering

In addition to basic classification and model filtering, AnQiCMS also supports more advanced custom filtering.When creating a content model, you can add various custom fields (such as "product color", "house type", "service duration", etc.). ByarchiveFiltersLabels, combined with URL query parameters, users can perform multiple filtering on the front-end page based on these custom fields.For example, on real estate websites, users can simultaneously filter the list of housing resources with 'residential' type, 'three bedrooms and two living rooms' layout, and located in the 'downtown' area, realizing highly personalized content display.

Filter by Tag

Tags provide a flattened content association method, where content of different categories or models can be tagged with the same tags. UsetagDataListLabel, you can usetagIdParameter to filter out all documents with specific labels. This is very effective for creating hot topics, thematic aggregation pages, or related content recommendations.
