Build the skeleton of a website: template basics and common code
AnQiCMS follows clear conventions in template design. When you delve into the template files of the website, you will find a file named/templateThe root directory, which contains all the templates your website is using. For those common parts that appear on every page, such as headers and footers, they are usually placed in a folder namedbash.htmlThe file in. This file is like the "skeleton" of your website, providing a unified structure for all pages.
And content like sidebars, breadcrumb navigation, which may appear in different forms on different pages, or as independent modules referenced by multiple pages, is classified aspartial/Under the directory, existing in the form of code snippets. This modular design concept makes the management of the website's common area organized, and modifying one place can take effect globally, greatly improving the maintenance efficiency.
Gracefully present the page header: brand identity and core navigation
The header is the first part that appears to the user when entering the website, carrying the website's Logo, main navigation, and some important contact information.In AnQiCMS, setting these elements is an intuitive and flexible process.

At the same time, the name of the website can also be accessed through{% system with name="SiteName" %}Label acquisition, which helps unify the brand image and ensure easy updates across the entire website.
The core navigation is the key to guiding users to explore the website. AnQiCMS provides a powerful 'website navigation settings' feature, allowing you to create multiple navigation categories, such as 'top main navigation', 'footer navigation', and even 'sidebar navigation'.After setting up the navigation links and levels in the background (AnQiCMS supports two-level navigation), you can then use them in the template{% navList navs with typeId="导航类别ID" %}Labels to dynamically acquire and render these navigation items. For example, you can specifytypeId=1Call your main navigation, thenforTraverse in a loopnavsVariable, display the title and link of each navigation item. If there is a sub-navigation under the navigation item,item.NavListproperties will help you expand further.
Sometimes, you may also want to display some contact information or important promotional banners in the page header. By using the information configured in the "Contact Information Settings", you can display through{% contact with name="Cellphone" %}or{% contact with name="Email" %}Tags can dynamically display phone numbers, email addresses, and other information in the page header. The carousel or important promotional images in the page header can be displayed through{% bannerList banners %}Tags, combined with the background "Homepage Banner List" settings, can be flexibly displayed.

For the convenience of users, the footer usually also includes some auxiliary navigation, such as "About Us", "Privacy Policy", and so on. At this point, you can create an independent navigation category in the "Website Navigation Settings", for example, named "Footer Navigation", and allocate a uniquetypeIdThen, use it again in the footer template{% navList navs with typeId="你的页脚导航ID" %}Tags can easily render these auxiliary links.
