The Value of AnQiCMS's URL Rewrite Feature

Pseudo static, as the name implies, means that dynamic generated URL addresses are 'disguised' into static addresses through server rules. Compared to long dynamic parameters (such asarticle.php?id=123&category=tech），Static URL (such asarticle/anqicms-seo-guide.html）More readable, easier to be indexed and included by search engines, and can integrate keywords to enhance relevance.AnQiCMS knows this point, one of its core functions is the "pseudo static and 301 redirect management", which aims to effectively improve the website's SEO effect through optimizing the URL structure.Combine with AnQiCMS built-in advanced SEO tools, such as Sitemap generation, keyword library management, etc., users can build a highly friendly content ecosystem for search engines.

Deep understanding of AnQiCMS static rules

AnQiCMS's pseudo-static feature is powerful and flexible, it not only provides a series of built-in pseudo-static rules for users to quickly select, but more importantly, it opens up the 'custom mode', allowing you to refine the URL according to your own SEO strategy and content structure.

Under the "Feature Management" menu, you will find that the system provides independent rule configuration options for different types of pages (including document detail pages, document list pages, model home pages, single pages, tag list pages, and tag detail pages). For article detail pages, we need to pay special attention to the rule configuration namedarchiverules.

The core of the custom rule lies in规则名===规则值. Among which,规则名is the system predefined identifier that we cannot modify (for example)archiverepresents the article detail page); while规则值The key to our custom URL structure lies in constructing规则值AnQiCMS provides a rich set of variables for us to combine when using, all of which need to be enclosed in curly braces{}Wrap it up:

  • {id}: Represents the unique numeric ID of an article or category. Simple and direct, but lacks semantics.
  • {filename}：represents the custom link alias of articles, categories, or tags. It is the key to implementing semantic URLs and is usually automatically generated from the title in pinyin, or can be manually edited.
  • {catname}：represents the custom link alias of the article category. It is suitable for scenarios where the URL contains category information.
  • {catid}：Represents the unique digital ID of the article category.
  • {module}：represents the URL alias of the content model (such as article model, product model).
  • {page}：is used for pagination links, and must be enclosed in parentheses, for example(/{page}).

Understand these variables, and you can build article detail page URLs that meet SEO requirements and are user-friendly, just like building with blocks.
