AnQiCMS (AnQiCMS) is a powerful content management system that provides great flexibility for content operators.In daily content publishing work, we often need to display specific content (such as news headlines, hot recommendations, ad banner rotations, etc.) in prominent positions on the homepage or category pages of the website.If relying solely on content publishing time or views to control, it is often difficult to meet the refined operational needs.This is when the "Recommended Attribute" feature of AnQi CMS becomes particularly important, as it helps us accurately control the display position of front-end content, effectively enhancing the visibility and operational effectiveness of the website.

What is the recommended attribute, and what benefits does it bring to content display?

The recommended attribute is an additional tagging mechanism provided by Anqí CMS for content (such as articles, products, etc.)You can imagine it as attaching different 'tags' to the content, which can indicate that the content should be displayed in different areas on the website's front end.By these properties, we can flexibly adjust the display priority and position of the content without changing the content release time or category.

The Anqi CMS is built-in with 8 recommended attributes, each attribute has a corresponding letter identifier, convenient for calling in templates:

  • Headline [h]: Usually used for the focus news of the website, the most important announcements, etc., often displayed in the most prominent position at the top of the page.
  • Recommend [c]: Articles suitable for editing and attention, which can be displayed in the sidebar, content area, and other locations.
  • Slide [f]: Designed specifically for carousels, focus images, usually with images, displayed in a scrolling form at the top of the homepage or specific pages.
  • Special recommendation [a]Similar to 'Special Recommendation', it emphasizes its importance and can be used for important themes or activities.
  • Scroll [s]: Suitable for small rolling news, bulletin boards, etc., the content will appear in the form of a running scroll or list scroll.
  • Bold [h]: (Please note that this attribute shares the same identifier as
  • Image [p]Indicates that the content is suitable for display in a multimedia or purely visual format, such as a picture news stream.
  • Jump [j]meaning that clicking on the content may directly jump to an external link or a specific page within the site, rather than just the article detail page.

The flexible application of these recommended properties can help us:

  • Enhance the visibility of important content: Quickly convey key information to visitors.
  • optimize user experience: Help users quickly find the content they are interested in by categorizing display.
  • Enhance content operation efficiency: Adjust content layout without modifying code to achieve dynamic updates.
  • Support SEO strategy: A reasonable layout can enhance the page authority and is helpful for search engines to crawl and index.
