Core tags:archiveListThe strength of it

Display the latest content: allow visitors to always grasp the dynamics.

Do you want to display the latest articles or products in a prominent position on the website to attract user attention?archiveListThe label sorting function can easily achieve this. Usually, we can sort in descending order by the document's publication time (i.e., ID) to ensure that the latest content is at the top.

You can set it up like this to get the latest article list:

{% archiveList latestArticles with moduleId="1" order="id desc" limit="5" %}
    {% for item in latestArticles %}
    <div class="article-item">
        <a href="{{ item.Link }}">
            <h3>{{ item.Title }}</h3>
            <p>{{ item.Description|truncatechars:80 }}</p> {# 截取前80个字符并添加省略号 #}
            <span>发布日期: {{ stampToDate(item.CreatedTime, "2006-01-02") }}</span>
        </a>
    </div>
    {% endfor %}
{% endarchiveList %}

In this code block:

• moduleId="1"Specify the article model we need to retrieve (if you want to display the latest product, you can change it to the corresponding product model ID).
• order="id desc"Tell the system to sort by ID in descending order, usually the larger the ID represents a later release time, thus achieving the effect of "latest."
• limit="5"Limit to displaying only the latest 5 articles.
• stampToDate(item.CreatedTime, "2006-01-02")It is a very useful time formatting function that can convert timestamps into easily readable date formats.

Show popular content: Insight into user interests.

Understanding what content is most popular and showcasing it is an effective strategy for increasing website interaction rates.AnqiCMS records the number of views for each document, and we can use this data to filter popular content.

To display popular articles or products, you can useorder="views desc"parameters to sort in descending order by views:

{% archiveList hotProducts with moduleId="2" order="views desc" limit="4" %}
    {% for item in hotProducts %}
    <div class="product-card">
        <a href="{{ item.Link }}">
            <img src="{{ item.Thumb }}" alt="{{ item.Title }}">
            <h4>{{ item.Title }}</h4>
            <p>浏览量: {{ item.Views }}</p>
        </a>
    </div>
    {% endfor %}
{% endarchiveList %}

Here:

• moduleId="2"Assuming 2 is the ID of the product model.
• order="views desc"Present content sorted by views from high to low, showing the most popular content.
• item.ThumbUsed to get product thumbnails, making the list display more intuitive.

Display content of specified categories: precisely targeting the target audience.

Website content is usually organized into different categories, such as "Company News", "Industry Dynamics", or "Product Solutions", etc. AnqiCMS'sarchiveListTags allow you to precisely specify which or which categories of content to display.

Assume you want to display articles under the 'Company News' category (category ID 3) on a page, you can do it like this:

{% archiveList companyNews with moduleId="1" categoryId="3" limit="6" %}
    {% for item in companyNews %}
    <div class="news-item">
        <a href="{{ item.Link }}">
            <h5>{{ item.Title }}</h5>
            <p>{{ stampToDate(item.CreatedTime, "2006-01-02") }}</p>
        </a>
    </div>
    {% endfor %}
{% endarchiveList %}

If you want to display articles from multiple categories at the same time (for example, ID 3 and 5), just separate the category IDs with a comma:categoryId="3,5". Additionally,categoryIdThe parameter is not specified, it will default to obtaining the current page's category ID, which is very suitable for directly calling articles under the current category on the category list page. If you do not want to obtain the content of the subcategories, you can also addchild=falseParameter.

Display recommended attribute content: highlight operation focus

AnqiCMS provides various recommendation attributes (such as头条[h], recommendation[c], slide[f], etc.) to facilitate operations personnel in marking important content. UtilizeflagParameters, you can easily extract this content marked specifically for display.

For example, to display the articles marked as "slider" on the homepage as carousel content:

{% archiveList slideshowArticles with moduleId="1" flag="f" limit="3" %}
    {% for item in slideshowArticles %}
    <div class="carousel-item">
        <a href="{{ item.Link }}">
            <img src="{{ item.Logo }}" alt="{{ item.Title }}">
            <div class="carousel-caption">{{ item.Title }}</div>
        </a>
    </div>
    {% endfor %}
{% endarchiveList %}

Hereflag="f"Make sure only articles marked as "Slide" are displayed.item.LogoGenerally used to get the first cover image, very suitable for carousel scenes.
