Hello all, Good work on Pyro. It looks ace and a real contender. I'm not a developer but I understand and have used EE successfully for many years. I'm not looking for a replacement, i'm just interested in alternatives. At the same time i'm curious about how Pyro works in comparison. Now, i'm being lazy and without digging around I wondered if some of the more 'popular' EE add-ons might have been catered for in the core, or how Pyro offers similar functionality. Matrix Structure Freeform MX Title control Libraree Zoo flexible admin Many thanks for any feedback and enlightenment. Best Martin |

Hi Martin, I'm very familiar with EE and also develop PyroCMS as part of the team, so here is my take: A lot of what you mention deals with EE channels, and the free version of PyroCMS does not come with anything that has channels-like behavior. However, I've developed something called PyroStreams which fills that hole. It is available or $30 standalone, and it also comes bundled with PyroCMS pro. So, to answer your questions specifically: Matrix PyroStreams does not have this functionality yet, although it is on the roadmap (under sub streams). Structure PyroCMS does this out of the gate with the Pages module. It has a drag/drop page interface and allows you to select a page layout (ie template) for that page as well as add other data (metadata, etc.) Freeform PyroStreams has an entry form function, but there is not standalone form creator for PyroCMS yet, although one is in the works. MX Title control PyroStreams does not come with title and url_title preset (although you can add them), so this wouldn't be necessary. Libraree Some files for PyroCMS sites are in the theme (ie, files) and some are in the DB (page layouts). Having page layouts as files is on the horizon. Partials (which are like snippets in EE) are completely file-based. Check out the docs on site organization for more info. Zoo flexible admin Currently nothing like this exists, but down the road, who knows! It definitely is a valuable feature. I hope that answers some of your questions. Let me know if you have any more! -Adam |
