Perch 2

So having an image upload system that lets you ‘browse’ your local machine is vital.

Well Pulse certainly does - can’t speak for the others.

As does Perch and Mojomotor.

The image capabilities of Pulse despite it being one of the cheapest cms is by far the best imho, I think Perch does likewise. Pulse (ckeditor component perhaps) allows for a border if you wish and also horizontal and vertical padding, so many cms do not allow for this ie. mojomotor does everything except allow for a horiz and/or vert margin or a border - crazy.

Its a bugbear of mine also and I think it mad for it not to be part of cms. Clients are much more savvy these days with regards image use.

With perch you style the template however you want that takes care of any visual requirements - style once and forget.

I think this is showing that pulse and perch are big favourites. Correct me if I’m wrong, perch allows you to do more, but has a steeper learning curve.

Could you name a specific area that is editable by one user and that area just happens to be only on a specific page?

At the moment, it’s just site wide but it’s something I’m going to suggest since I was hoping for that myself. I don’t know how difficult it would be to implement at this stage of development though.

Hi Nathan,

I think this is showing that pulse and perch are big favourites. Correct me if I’m wrong, perch allows you to do more, but has a steeper learning curve.

With all the cms available I don’t know why that seems to be the case, I’m sure there are plenty other capable cms out there. Perhaps its the ease of Pulse and Perch integration into and alongside Freeway. Not forgetting WebYep of course.

Pulse is perfect principally for small simple sites, though capable of large also if the structure and requirements are straight forward. After all it just requires the placement of a line of code that equates to a text/image area into the div you wish to be cms.
Perch does offer a lot more. A bit more to deal with and their tutorials and methodology are slightly more involved. Their tutorials do challenge the non (freeway) coder, it would be great if they acknowledged Freeway and did some tutorials that addressed a potentially large market.

Yes.

I asked/suggested this yesterday on the beta list and Drew (the dev) said that it’s possible on a region-by-region basis to assign a specific “role”, i.e., Everyone, Admin, Editor to as many or as few areas as needed. And since you can also create new user roles, e.g., “David”, with their own privilege settings, they can be assigned to only specific regions. So in effect it now does what you’ve been waiting for, and to a fairly fine degree. I clearly missed that option earlier.

Here’s a screenshot http://www.xiiro.com/screenshots/Perch2_Regions.tiff

Probably going to step on people’s toes here but after looking and testing, Perch, Pulse, Webyep, miniCMS, and a shed load of others, the actual differences in the way they actually operate from each other is surprisingly small.
All of the ones mentioned, i think, apart a from minicms, use a 3rd party rich text editor and most of them use TinyMCE or CKeditor and as such you can expand or restrict the amount of functionality, so if you wanted a proper image/file manger system then all you need is to buy the plugin and install it.

WebYep does have its own file manger for their own image and gallery items and yes, it too can use a rich text editor like Tinymce and Ckeditor and like the others it’s expandable. The real difference is how easy is it to integrate the code that these editors require to work into freeway and in how each application presents itself to the user.

WebYep prefers, when unlocked, to show the webpage with editable icons which you click on to reveal the editable panel. Most of the others choose to present the user with an admin section that does not look like the page you were on… so its down to personal choice. Personally I chose to write actions for WebYep over and above the others, because its approach was the closets to how freeway works. Its almost as if it was originally designed to work with a compiler like freeway rather than an editor, so for that reason alone it made absolute sense to port WebYep so it integrated with Freeway… but I know others prefer other systems and it is down to personal choice.

Kind Regards
Max

One other thing, WebYep has a plain (short) text field. This alone can give you great power to make mini apps using this CMS. Pop this field into a global or page php variable and with a little creativity you can do all sorts with this. Granted on a small scale.

No I’m not sure how many of the other small CMS’s can go this route.

Hi David
Yes that’s one advantage thats often overlooked over quite a few of the other cms’s.
The short text item can be used within different parts of the html construction and not just within the body, and so has a great potential for expanding the amount of uses WebYep can be used for.
An example of this is the webyep SEO action and the not yet released WebYep Facebook actions

I’ve been having a play with the original beta.

If you’re using beta 2 then none of the v1 apps will work. I think beta 3 (current) now supports Perch 1 apps. I’ll have to check.
