AnQi CMS, with its concise and efficient architecture and support for Django template engine syntax, makes template customization very friendly.Add previous and next article links and titles on the content detail page, which can be easily achieved through built-in template tags.
Anqi CMS overview of the previous and next document function
The AnQi CMS provides two special template tags for content detail pages, namelyprevArchiveused to get the previous document, as well asnextArchiveUsed to get the next document. The cleverness of these tags lies in the fact that they do not require manual specification of the current document ID or category. The system will automatically identify the document on the current detail page and intelligently find the adjacent previous and next documents.
These tags can conveniently obtain various information about adjacent documents, such as:
- Id: The unique ID of the document
- Title: Document title
- Link: The access link of the document
- Thumb: The thumbnail of the document (if available)
With this information, we can build user-friendly and informative navigation links.
Detailed steps of implementation
To implement the previous and next navigation on the content detail page of your Anqi CMS website, it usually only requires modifying the corresponding template file of the content detail page.
Step 1: Locate the content detail page template
According to the template making conventions of Anqi CMS, the template file for the content detail page is usually located under the current theme you are using{模型table}/detail.htmlFor example, if it is an article model, that might bearticle/detail.htmlIf you have a custom detail page template, please find the file you are using.
Step two: Insert previous and next navigation tags
In the detail page template file found, you can add the following code block at the bottom of the document content area or at any appropriate position to display the links and titles of the previous and next documents.
<nav class="article-navigation">
<div class="prev-article">
{% prevArchive prev %}
{% if prev %}
<a href="{{prev.Link}}" title="{{prev.Title}}">
<span>« 上一篇</span>
<h3>{{prev.Title}}</h3>
</a>
{% else %}
<span class="no-article">已经是第一篇了</span>
{% endif %}
{% endprevArchive %}
</div>
<div class="next-article">
{% nextArchive next %}
{% if next %}
<a href="{{next.Link}}" title="{{next.Title}}">
<span>下一篇 »</span>
<h3>{{next.Title}}</h3>
</a>
{% else %}
<span class="no-article">已经是最后一篇了</span>
{% endif %}
{% endnextArchive %}
</div>
</nav>
This code will call separatelyprevArchiveandnextArchivetags, and store the information of the previous document obtained inprevvariables, and the information of the next document innextthe variable.
