Practice of independent content display for multiple sites of AnQi CMS: Ensuring exclusive style for each site

In today's rapidly changing digital world, many businesses and content operators may need to manage multiple websites at the same time, whether to distinguish brands, sub-markets, or meet different business needs.AnQiCMS (AnQiCMS) provides an efficient and convenient solution for such needs with its powerful multi-site management function.However, one of the core challenges of managing multiple sites is to ensure that each site can independently display its exclusive content without interference, presenting a unique 'exclusive style'.

This article will deeply explore how Anqi CMS guarantees that each site's independent content can be correctly identified and displayed from the underlying architecture to the front-end display.

Understanding the independent multi-site mechanism of AnQi CMS

Ensure that each site's content is displayed independently, first you need to understand the design of Anqi CMS at the data level.The system has always considered the needs of multi-site operations, providing independent data storage and management capabilities for each site.

When we add a new site through the AnQi CMS backend, the system will require us to set an independent "site root directory" and "database name" for the new site.This is not an unnecessary step, but the foundation for achieving content independence.dev.anqicms.comnew site, whose data may be stored in a nameddev_anqicms_comindependent database, and its cache, configuration files, etc. will be stored in/app/dev_anqicms.com

Third, fine control of content at the template level

No additional configuration is required, the system will default to processing all content tags based on the current site context, for example,archiveListThe tag automatically retrieves the list of articles from the current site,categoryDetailThe tag automatically displays the category details of the current site.

  2. Flexible template customization:
