You got it Chris! Yeah, UkuuPeople requires PHP 5.3+. Glad you got it working. Cheers!

Tony

Hey Chris, I’m unable to replicate the issue on our end. What version of WordPress are you running? Also would you happen to know what version of PHP you’re server is running?

Tony

No worries Scot, I totally get where you’re coming from and we really do appreciate the feedback and conversation. It really does help. Have a great weekend!

Hey Scot, I certainly can see adding this functionality in a release and possibly soon.

At this point we’re really not looking for adoption outside the WordPress community. Nate and I both come from the CRM space and have worked with just about every one imaginable. Our objective was to create a plugin that would provide an interface for, and allow WordPress users to build their own CRM solution through integrations.

Given my experience and what our agency charges for a true CRM implementation I think there is still a tremendous benefit. We’re currently developing a study on how to build a simple CRM solution using WordPress and UkuuPeople for under $500.

IMHO the biggest benefit to using Open Source solutions vs any SaaS solution is that you own and are in control of your own data.

Absolutely, if you’re registering someone through GF they will be added as contacts in UkuuPeople. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you run into any snags with this.

I really appreciate the feedback and that you’re challenging us a bit. It’s extremely valuable and flattering too =)

Tony

Hey Scot,

I apologize if nobody got back to you. I understand your use-case and it does make sense. The reason we want to avoid adding all WordPress users by default is to ensure data quality. By only adding through specific actions (ie. import or gravity form, etc.) there is some minimal validation that this is someone we want to have in our CRM. Further by using tribes and touchpoints the CRM administrator can know where the contact originated.

For instance, with a proper UM integration you could configure UkuuPeople to add members through that integration but also add them to a UM tribe and have a touchpoint associated with their contact profile that they came in through UM.

That is our thinking at this point but we’re open to change based on our user’s needs.

UkuuPeople uses the existing WordPress schema including the user tables. We don’t currently facilitate permissions in the UkuuPeople UI, but with some customization you could effectively use existing WordPress user permissions functionality in conjunction with UkuuPeople.

Same point on scalability in a SaaS environment. We’re leveraging WordPress user tables and custom post types, so as long as you can run WordPress with the desired number of users in that environment, you can also use UkuuPeople.
