How does the custom static rule of AnQi CMS affect the display of the category list URL?

In AnQiCMS, the structure of the website URL is crucial for search engine optimization (SEO) and user experience.A clear and meaningful URL can not only help search engines better understand the content of the page, but also make it easier for users to remember and share the link.The Anqi CMS provides powerful pseudo-static features, especially its custom mode, which allows users to finely control the URL display of category list pages.

Static site: The foundation of website friendliness

The pseudo-static technology does not actually generate the page as a static HTML file, but rather on the server side through URL rewrite rules, to rewrite dynamic page addresses (such ascategory.php?id=123) Simulate static file path (like/category-123.html)。AnQiCMS considers this feature as one of its core strengths, improving search engine crawling and ranking through optimized URL structure, while also enhancing the user experience of the website.

Although AnQiCMS has built-in several preset static URL patterns such as number patterns, model naming patterns, etc., these patterns are sufficient in many cases.But for websites that追求极致优化orhave special URL structure requirements, the custom static pseudo mode they provide is undoubtedly a more powerful tool.It allows us to customize the URL display rules of the category list based on the characteristics of the website content.

An in-depth analysis of custom patterns: the shaper of category list URLs

We need to enter the "Feature Management" menu of the AnQiCMS backend to adjust the display of the category list URL and find the "Static Rules" option.After selecting "Custom Mode", you will see a series of configurable rule items. Among them,categoryThe rule items are the key to determining the format of the category list URL

A typicalcategoryCustom rules may look like this:category===/{module}/{catname}(-{page})

This rule consists of two parts: "Rule name"categoryand "Rule value"/{module}/{catname}(-{page})separated by===Connecting. Here, the 'rule value' is the place where we define the URL structure of the category list. Let's analyze several important variables in the rule value in detail:

• {module}: The URL alias of the content modelThis variable represents the English alias of the content model category.Under the 'Content Management' of AnQiCMS, go to the 'Content Model' settings, you can see that each content model (such as article model, product model) has a 'URL Alias' field, usually in lowercase English letters.For example, if your article model alias isarticle, and the product model alias isproductthen{module}It will be replaced respectively in the category listarticleorproduct. This helps to make the URL hierarchy clear, allowing you to easily see which large content category the category belongs to.

• {catname}: Custom URL alias for categoriesThis is one of the core variables that determine the display of the category list URL.In the "Content Management" "Document Category" settings, each category can set a custom URL.If you manually fill in this field, the system will use the content you defined to replace the URL with{catname}If left blank, AnQiCMS will automatically generate pinyin based on the category name as the default value.This custom URL must ensure that it is unique throughout the entire site, otherwise the system will automatically add random numbers at the end to ensure uniqueness.By setting meaningful English or pinyin aliases, it can make the category URL more readable and relevant to keywords.

• (-{page}): Dynamic handling of pagination page numbersThis is enclosed in brackets()Enclosed-{page}The variable represents pagination information. Its special feature is that it is an optional dynamic part.When the category list is on the first page, this part will not appear in the URL;When the user visits the second page or later pages,{page}It will be replaced with the corresponding page number, for examplearticle/news-page-2orproduct/showcase/page/3.html. Here,pageThe variable automatically captures the page number parameter in the URL and displays it according to the rules.

By flexibly combining these variables and fixed characters, we can create various classification list URL formats. For example:

• category===/list-{catname}.html: Generate/list-news.htmlSuch a concise URL.
• category===/{module}/category/{catname}/: Generate/article/category/news/Such a clear hierarchy URL.

Custom URL configuration and considerations

After customizing the static rules, make sure that the 'custom URL' of the category and the 'URL alias' of the content model are correctly configured in the background.In the "Document Category", each category is set to have a unique "Custom URL", and in the "Content Model", each model is set to have a "URL Alias", which is the basis for implementing these custom URLs.

This highly customized URL display method has a significant impact on the website's SEO performance.On the one hand, a clear URL with keywords is easier for search engines to index and rank;On the other hand, a concise URL is also convenient for users to understand and spread.

However, changing the URL structure is a process that requires careful handling.Each time the pseudo-static rule is adjusted, especially when it involves the URLs of pages that have already been launched, it should be thoroughly tested.At the same time, if the old URL has already generated some search engine weight or external links, it is strongly recommended to use the "301 Redirect Management" feature provided by AnQiCMS to permanently redirect the old URL to the new one to avoid traffic loss and negative SEO impact.This ensures that users and search engines can seamlessly redirect to new links when accessing old links, thereby maintaining the continuity and authority of the website.

In summary, AnQiCMS's custom static mode, especially the detailed control over category list URLs, provides powerful tools for website operators.It is not just a technical configuration, but also an important part of the website brand image, user experience, and SEO strategy.Through careful design and configuration, every link on the website can realize its maximum value.
