The 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, popular recommendations, advertising carousel images, etc.) in prominent positions on the homepage or category pages of the website.If relying solely on content publication time or views to control, it is often difficult to meet the refined operational needs.This is where the "Recommended Attributes" feature of AnQi CMS becomes particularly important, as it helps us accurately control the display position of front-end content, effectively enhancing the visibility of content and the operation effect of the website.

What are the recommended attributes, and what benefits do they bring to content display?

Recommended properties are an additional marking mechanism provided by Anqi 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 special areas on the website front end.Through these properties, we can flexibly adjust the display priority and position of the content without changing the content release time or category.

Auto CMS is built-in with 8 recommended attributes, each attribute has a corresponding letter identifier, making it easy to call in the template:

  • Headline [h]: Usually used for the focus news, the most important announcements on websites, often displayed in the most prominent position at the top of the page.
  • Recommend [c]: 适用于编辑精选、值得关注的文章，可以在侧边栏、内容区域等位置展示。
  • Slideshow [f]: 专门为轮播图、焦点图设计，通常带有图片，在首页或特定页面的顶部以滚动形式展示。
  • [en] Recommended [a]: Similar to “Special Recommendation”, emphasizing its importance, it can be used for some important topics or events.
  • [en] Scroll [s]: 适用于小型滚动新闻、公告栏等，内容会以跑马灯或列表滚动形式出现。
  • 加粗 [English]: (Please note: This property shares the same identifier with 'Headline[h]', and attention should be paid when calling the template) may mean that the text will be displayed in bold in some display scenarios to attract users' attention.
  • [en] Image [p]: Indicates that the content is suitable for display in the form of pictures and text or pure images, such as image news streams.
  • [en] Jump [j]: 意味着点击该内容后，可能会直接跳转到外部链接或站内特定页面，而不仅仅是文章详情页。

The flexible use of these recommended properties can help us:

  • Increase the exposure rate of important content:Deliver key information to visitors quickly.
  • Optimizing user experienceThrough classification display, help users quickly find the content they are interested in.
  • Enhance the efficiency of content operationNo code modification is required to adjust the content layout, realizing dynamic updates.
  • Support SEO strategiesReasonable layout can enhance page authority, which is helpful for search engines to crawl and index.
