Call the friend links in the website footer template

AnQiCMS uses the Django template engine syntax, which means you can call the background configuration data in template files through concise tags.To display the friend link list at the bottom of the website, you need to make corresponding modifications to the template file.

  1. Confirm the footer template fileIn the AnQiCMS template root directory (usually/template/您的模板名称/), find the template file responsible for displaying the bottom area of the website. Common public footer file paths may bepartial/footer.htmlor directly integrated inbase.htmlIn Chinese. If you are not sure which file it is, you can check the template directory structure or checkbase.htmlpass through{% include %}The common part introduced by the tag.

  2. InsertlinkListTagIn the bottom template file found, select a suitable position to display the friend links, such as above the copyright information. Then, insert the following template code:

    {% linkList friendLinks %}
    {% if friendLinks %}
        <div class="footer-friend-links-section">
            <h4>友情链接</h4>
            <ul class="friend-links-list">
                {% for item in friendLinks %}
                    <li>
                        <a href="{{item.Link}}" {% if item.Nofollow == 1 %} rel="nofollow"{% endif %} target="_blank">{{item.Title}}</a>
                    </li>
                {% endfor %}
            </ul>
        </div>
    {% endif %}
{% endlinkList %}

    Let's decode the meaning of this code:

    • {% linkList friendLinks %}This is a built-in template tag that is used to retrieve all the configured friend link data from the AnQiCMS backend and assign these data as a list to a variable namedfriendLinks.
    • {% if friendLinks %}This conditional judgment statement is very practical. It will checkfriendLinksWhether a variable contains any data. If no friend links are set in the background or the number of links is zero, the entire friend link area (including the 'Friend Links' title and list) will not be displayed on the website, avoiding blank pages or unnecessary elements.
    • <div class="footer-friend-links-section"> ... </div>and<h4>友情链接</h4>This part is an HTML structure used to wrap the list of friend links and provide a title. You can adjust it according to your website design and style requirements.
    • {% for item in friendLinks %}This is a loop tag, it will iterate overfriendLinkseach friendship link item in the list. In each iteration, all information of the current link will be temporarily assigned toitemVariable.
    • <li> ... </li>Each friendship link is wrapped in a list item.<li>.
    • <a href="{{item.Link}}" {% if item.Nofollow == 1 %} rel="nofollow"{% endif %} target="_blank">{{item.Title}}</a>This is the core code for displaying a single friendship link.
      • href="{{item.Link}}"Dynamically outputs the URL address of the friendship link.
      • {{item.Title}}: Dynamically outputs the name of the friendship link.
      • {% if item.Nofollow == 1 %} rel="nofollow"{% endif %}: This is an important conditional judgment. If the "Nofollow" option is checked for this link (indicatingitem.Nofollowhas a value of 1), then<a>Labels will be automatically addedrel="nofollow"Property.
      • target="_blank"It is usually good practice to open friend links in a new window or tab so that users visiting friend links will not leave your current website.

Save and view effects

After modifying the template file, please save the file. If your AnQiCMS is deployed in a production environment and page caching is enabled, you may need to clear the website cache (which can be found in the "Update Cache" feature of the AnQiCMS backend, or through server operations) to make the changes take effect. Refresh your website homepage, and you should see the new list of友情链接(friendship links) added at the bottom.
