When using the Anqi CMS to manage website content, image materials are undoubtedly an important part of content presentation. Particularly for the generation and management of thumbnails, many users may wonder a question: when usingthumbWill the original file name of the image be retained when generating the image thumbnail by the filter?

The Anqi CMS provides rich image processing features to optimize website performance and content display.We know that in the operation mechanism of the content management system, the original images are usually uploaded and stored in a specific directory, and the system records their original filenames, paths, and other information.

UnderstandingthumbThe role of the filter

Anqi CMS'sthumbThe filter is a very convenient feature that allows us to directly call the thumbnail version of the image in the template. For example, when outputting the article list in a loop,{{ item.Logo|thumb }}This code, easily gets and displays the thumbnail of the article cover.Its core purpose is to quickly provide optimized image versions based on preset or dynamic size requirements, in order to accelerate page loading speed and enhance user experience.

English CMS's image processing mechanism

To answer questions about filenames, we need to understand the overall image processing mechanism of AnAnQi CMS. According to the instructions in the content settings, AnAnQi CMS provides a variety of automated functions when processing images:

  1. WebP Image Format Conversion:System supports automatically converting uploaded JPG, PNG, and other image files to WebP format, which can significantly reduce image size. However, the change in file format inevitably involves the restructuring of file content, which usually results in the generation of new file names.
  2. Automatically Compress Large Images:Users can choose to enable the automatic compression of large images function, and specify the compression width, such as compressing to 800 pixel width.This means the original image will be processed into a smaller size image, and the file content will also change.
  3. Thumbnail processing methods and dimensions:System provides various thumbnail generation methods such as 'Scale by the longest side', 'Fill by the longest side', and 'Crop by the shortest side', and allows setting specific thumbnail sizes.In any case, it involves cropping, scaling, or padding of the original image, resulting in a brand new image file.

Will the original filename of the thumbnail be retained?

In conclusion, from the above image processing mechanism, we can draw the following conclusion:thumbThe thumbnails generated by the filter usually do not strictly retain the original file name of the image.

When you upload an image and usethumbThe filter will cause the CMS to perform a series of image processing operations in the background, including but not limited to resizing, format conversion, and compression, which will generate aA new image file. To distinguish these processed images from the original images and facilitate internal system management (such as, recording the thumbnail size information, supporting cache updates, etc.), Anle CMS will allocate aNew filename and storage path.

For example, the original image may be namedoriginal_photo.jpgafterthumbThe actual file path of the thumbnail after the filter may become/uploads/202309/14/thumb_eba5aa9dc4c45d18.webpor/uploads/202309/14/original_photo_150x150.jpg(The specific naming convention depends on the internal implementation of the system, it will usually include size information or a hash value, and sometimes it will also be converted to a different format).

Although the thumbnail URL displayed on the front-end is different from the original image URL, the security CMS will keep the original image filename and related information in the database, which will not affect your management of the original materials.

What does this mean for content operations?

For daily content operation, it is a standard and reasonable design to not retain the original filename for thumbnail files. This means:

  • There is no need to manually name the thumbnails:System automation processing reduces the繁琐 of manual operations.
  • Optimize SEO experience:Although the thumbnail file name is different from the original name, what search engines pay attention to is the image'saltProperties and the content of the page they are on. As long as these elements are set properly, the direct impact on SEO of changing the thumbnail file name is negligible.
  • Efficient cache management:The new filename and path helps browsers and CDNs cache and update images better, avoiding cache issues caused by updating files with the same name.

In short,thumbThe filter plays a vital role in content optimization in Anqi CMS, providing efficient thumbnail display for the website through intelligent image processing, and the change in file name is part of its technical implementation, which will not have a negative impact on the normal operation and SEO of the website.
