Calendar 👁️ 82

In daily website content operations, the number of characters and words in article summaries (or abstracts) is often a crucial aspect of content optimization that cannot be ignored.In order to optimize search engine results (SEO), ensure that the abstract is fully displayed in the search results, or to enhance the user reading experience, the length of a concise introduction is crucial.For friends using AnQiCMS, understanding how to effectively manage and quickly calculate the length of these introductions can significantly improve work efficiency.

Deeply understand the AnQiCMS article summary mechanism

AnQi CMS provides us with certain intelligent assistance when processing article summaries.According to system design, if you do not manually fill in the introduction when writing an article, the system will automatically extract the first 150 characters of the article content as the article introduction.This default behavior is convenient in most cases, but if we need to control the profile content more accurately, such as integrating specific keywords, writing more attractive copy, or strictly following the word count limit of a platform, then manual editing of the profile becomes indispensable.

How can we accurately calculate the number of characters and words in our input, which has become a practical problem to be solved.Although the Anqi CMS backend editing interface may not provide real-time word or character count statistics, we can cleverly utilize its powerful template rendering mechanism and built-in filters to achieve precise content measurement.

Use AnQi CMS template filter for precise statistics

AnQi CMS template engine supports a variety of practical filters, includinglengthandwordcountWe are the powerful assistants for word and character count statistics. These filters are mainly used for template development and content display verification, but you can temporarily apply them to content fields when needed to obtain accurate statistical data.

1. Character count: lengthFilter

lengthThe filter is used to calculate the number of characters in a string. In a Chinese environment, it counts the actual number of characters according to UTF-8 encoding, with one Chinese character counting as one character, and one English letter or number also counting as one character.

Usage example:Assuming your article summary content is stored inarchive.DescriptionIn the field, you can temporarily add the following code to the template file (for example, a local template used for preview or debugging) to view the character count: 

您的文章简介字符数：{{ archive.Description|length }}

When the page is rendered, this line of code will be displayed.archive.DescriptionThe total number of characters contained in the field.

2. Word count statistics:wordcountFilter

wordcountThe filter is used to calculate the number of words in a string. It usually uses space as the delimiter between words.This means that the statistics will be very accurate for languages like English that are separated by spaces;But for Chinese, a language where spaces are not commonly used between words,wordcountThe filter treats a continuous segment of Chinese text as a single 'word', so it may not meet all the refined needs when counting Chinese words.

Usage example:Similarly, you can insert the following code into the template file to viewarchive.DescriptionNumber of words in the field:

您的文章简介词语数：{{ archive.Description|wordcount }}

This will display when the page is renderedarchive.DescriptionTotal number of words separated by spaces in the field.

Actual operational process and suggestions

In the daily content creation and operation, we can combine these filters and some work habits to efficiently manage the word count and word number of the article abstract:

  1. Write and preliminary statistics:When writing an article summary on the "Add/Edit Document" page of the AnQi CMS backend, if you need to view word count or word count in real time, you can consider drafting an initial draft in other text editors (such as Notepad++, VS Code, Google Docs, or Microsoft Word).These tools usually come with a real-time word count feature, which is convenient for you to adjust while typing.

  2. Paste and content verification:Paste the drafted introduction into the introduction input box of Anqi CMS. If you have strict requirements for the final word count/word count and want to perform final verification within the system, you can follow the above method and paste it in the development or test environment.lengthorwordcountThe filter is temporarily added to the template code displaying the article summary. Refresh the page to see the precise statistics, for fine adjustment.

  3. Follow **Practice:**Combine the 150-character limit automatically extracted by AnQi CMS, and our manual introduction should also be controlled within this range, or slightly adjusted according to specific business needs.Generally, a 100-150 character summary can achieve a good balance in SEO and user experience.Make sure the introduction is attractive to users and includes core keywords, but avoid overcrowding.

By these methods, you can not only better understand the rendering mechanism of AnQi CMS for article content, but also achieve more refined management in content operations, thereby improving the overall performance of the website.
