What is 'Recommended Attributes'?

In simple terms, 'recommended attribute' refers to some special tags that we can add to articles when we publish or edit them.The AnQi CMS provides eight preset recommended attributes, each corresponding to a short letter identifier for easy calling in front-end templates.

  • Headline [h][en] Typically used to mark the most important and most concerned articles on a website, suitable for displaying in the most prominent position on the homepage.
  • Recommend [c]: Indicates that the article content is excellent and worth recommending to users. It can appear in areas such as the sidebar, related articles list, etc.
  • Slideshow [f]This type of article is commonly used in carousel or featured image areas to attract users with images and large headlines.
  • [en] Recommended [a][en] This article is specially recommended, which may have timeliness or special value, and is more prominent than ordinary recommendations.
  • [en] Scroll [s][en] This area is suitable for news flashes, announcements, and other content that needs to be displayed scrolling on the page.
  • 加粗 [b] 【en】Although named bold, in actual application, it is more like a general marker indicating that the content needs to be emphasized.
  • [en] Image [p][en] Specifically marks articles that are dominated by images and are suitable for display in areas such as image walls and albums.
  • [en] Jump [j]This type of article is usually not for direct reading, but will jump to an external link or a specific page within the site upon clicking.

In the article publishing interface, you can select one, multiple, or none of the recommended properties based on the characteristics of the article.This choice is flexible, but please remember that the letter identifiers corresponding to each recommended attribute are the key to the frontend call.
