In website operation, a clear and friendly URL not only allows visitors to understand the page content at a glance but is also an indispensable part of search engine optimization (SEO).A well-structured URL can help search engines better understand the page topic, thereby improving the crawling efficiency and ranking of the website.AnQi CMS is well-versed in this field, providing a simple, easy-to-use, and highly flexible solution for generating and displaying pseudo-static rules.

How to implement pseudo-static in AnQi CMS: Core Mechanism

The AnQi CMS was designed with SEO-friendliness in mind from the beginning, its built-in static feature is one of the core highlights.The system effectively enhances user experience and search engine friendliness by converting dynamically generated page addresses into static, more readable URLs.This is particularly prominent in the application of model naming patterns.

In Anqi CMS, all content (whether articles, products, or other custom types) is constructed based on the 'content model'.This means, you can customize various content structures according to your business needs, and the system will generate corresponding URLs based on these models./news/article-title.htmlof whichnewsIt may be the alias you defined for the 'news' model,article-titleThis is the custom URL alias of the article. This pattern makes the URL structure clearly reflect the classification and theme of the content, which is very beneficial for search engine crawling and user recognition.

A deep understanding of URL composition elements: variables and aliases

The strength of AnQi CMS's pseudo-static rules lies in its configurable URL composition elements. When setting up pseudo-static rules in the background, you will come into contact with some key placeholder variables, which are the foundation for building friendly URLs:

  • {module}This variable represents the URL alias of the content model. When you create an article model, product model, or other custom model, you will define a unique lowercase English URL alias for it (for examplearticle/productThis alias will be directly reflected in the URL, clearly indicating the type of content.
  • {id}This is the unique numeric ID of the content. It is commonly used in numeric mode static URLs, simple and efficient.
  • {filename}This variable is used for custom URL names of articles, single pages, or tags.When you publish a document, create a single-page or a tag, the system will automatically generate a pinyin as the default custom URL based on the title you fill in. Of course, you can also manually modify it according to your needs, but make sure it is unique throughout the site to avoid URL conflicts.
  • {catname}: with{filename}Similar, this variable is used specifically for the custom URL name of the category. The system will also automatically generate pinyin based on the category title and allow manual adjustment, while ensuring its uniqueness.
  • {catid}This indicates the unique numeric ID of the category.
  • {page}This is used to identify pagination information, which usually appears in the URL of the list page, for example./category/list-1-2.html(Indicates the second page of the category ID 1).

By combining these variables flexibly, you can build URL structures that meet various SEO strategies and user habits.

Configure pseudo-static rules: practical operation

In the AnQi CMS backend, the configuration entry for the pseudo-static rules is located under the "Function Management" menu. After entering the "Pseudo-static Rules" page, you will see several preset pseudo-static modes to choose from:

  1. Numeric pattern: Use the content ID as the core identifier of the URL, for example/article-123.html.
  2. Model naming pattern: Combine the model alias and the custom name of the content, as mentioned above/news/article-title.html.
  3. Category naming pattern 1/2：Integrate category information into the URL to enhance the hierarchical and归属感 sense of the URL.

For most users, simply selecting these built-in modes will meet their basic SEO needs. The system will automatically apply the corresponding URL structure without any additional configuration.

However, for those who pursue ultimate URL optimization or have special needs, the "custom mode" provides infinite possibilities. In custom mode, you can base it on the type of page (such as document detail pagearchiveCategory List PagecategoryModel HomepagearchiveIndexSingle PagepageTag ListtagIndexTag Details Pagetag) Define the URL rules. The format is页面类型标识===规则值.

For example, if you want the URL of the article detail page to be in the format of "model alias/article custom URL.html", you can define it like this:

archive==="/{module}/{filename}.html"

This rule tells AnQi CMS that for any article (archive), its URL should be generated by the alias of the model it belongs to ({module}）and the custom URL name of the article（{filename}）is composed，and.html.

When you edit the article in the background and set its custom URL tomy-first-articleif the article belongs to the URL alias ofnewsThe article model, then the final generated URL will be/news/my-first-article.html.

Ensure that the URL is generated and displayed correctly

Ensure that the pseudo-static rule is correctly generated and displayed in the Anqi CMS URL, and pay attention to several key links:

  1. Background data input specification:

    • Model URL alias:When creating and managing content models, be sure to set a simple and meaningful lowercase URL alias for each model.
    • Custom URL/Category Custom URL:When publishing documents, creating categories, or single pages, the system will automatically generate pinyin based on the title as a custom URL.Although you can manually modify it, please ensure that the modified URL is unique, does not contain special characters, and is preferably in lowercase English to maintain the neatness and standardization of the URL.
    • Fixed link:If certain pages require a long-term fixed URL that does not change with the pseudo-static rules, Anqi CMS also provides a "fixed link" function, but it should be used with caution to avoid conflicts with the pseudo-static rules.

  2. Front-end template call:

    • In the template file, AnQi CMS passes through{{item.Link}}This label, unified acquisition and display of the correct URL. This means that no matter what pseudo-static rules you have set on the back-end, as long as it is used in the templateLinkAn attribute is used to output the URL, and the system will automatically render a static URL that conforms to the current rule.You do not need to hardcode the URL path in the template, which greatly improves the flexibility and maintainability of the template.

  3. Server environment configuration:

    • The rules for pseudo-static pages are configured in the Anqi CMS background after, and your web server (such as Nginx or Apache) must correctly forward these URL requests processed by pseudo-static to the Anqi CMS application for processing.This is usually achieved by configuring a reverse proxy, which redirects all requests that do not directly correspond to static files but are pseudo-static URLs to the running port of the Anqicms (default is 8001).If this step is not configured correctly, even if the security CMS internally generates the correct URL, the server may return a 404 error because it cannot find the corresponding resource.

Through these mechanisms, Anqi CMS provides users with a powerful, flexible, and easy-to-manage static URL solution, helping websites achieve better SEO performance and user experience.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Why did I set up the pseudo-static rule, but the page still shows a 404 error when accessed?

This is usually not a problem with the internal URL generation of AnQi CMS, but is likely due to the reverse proxy or pseudo-static configuration of the web server (such as Nginx or Apache) not being properly effective.The Anqicms will generate URLs according to your rules, but the server needs to configure rules to recognize these pseudo-static URLs and forward requests to Anqicms.Please check your server configuration to ensure that all non-static file requests are correctly proxied to the running port of the Anqi CMS.In addition, if the custom static rule syntax is incorrect, it may also cause some pages to be inaccessible. In this case, you can try switching back to the built-in rules for troubleshooting.

2. Custom URL alias ({filename}or{catname}What needs to be paid special attention to when setting up?
