Topic: What CRM/Groupware do you use?

[edform]

If you want something that's really easy to install ... AND WORKS!!! ... try ACollab from ATutor.  The ACollab  bit can be run as an add-on to ATutor OR as a stand alone package.
It's not particularly feature rich, but what it does it does without falling over.

Hi Dave,

How did you get past the uploads directory setting in the installation routine?

No matter what I do, it goes on telling me that the upload directory I've chosen does not exist.

Free,PHP, GPL, pretty, powerful and easy to use...
and for $250 you may get the pro version with
a plugin for synching with Outlook...

Hello Edform,

I don't recall having that problem!  If it's of any help to you, here's the template fragment I put into /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

I called it 90acollab

==================================

Alias /ac /home/e-smith/files/ibays/ac/html/
<Directory /home/e-smith/files/ibays/ac/html/>
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3 .phtml
Options Indexes +Includes FollowSymLinks
php_flag magic_quotes_gpc off
php_flag display_errors off
php_flag file_uploads on

php_flag log_errors on
php_value error_log /var/log/acollab.log
php_value error_reporting 'E_ALL ~ E_NOTICE'

php_flag register_globals off
php_value max_execution_time 90
php_value memory_limit 20M
php_value upload_max_filesize 5M
php_value mbstring.func_overload 7

order deny,allow
deny from all

</Directory>

==================================

If you're still having problems, post again with a little more detail and I'll see what I can do!

Regards,

Dave

Hello all,

Can anyone share their trials and/or success with open source (free) software that can provide shared calendars & tasks to users via MS Outlook.

I am long time user of SME, currently running 6.5RC1. As a complete linux newb who loves SME for its out-of-the-box functionality and usability, I am looking for an easy to install solution if it exists. I tried the Open Xchange HowTo on these forums on my server with no luck.

Your feedback is much appreciated.

All the best,
Riff

I have read this thread with great interest. There are some interesting names and comments. Good Groupware/CRM software and integration with the 'main stream' corp apps (eg Outlook/Groupwise/Notes) plus the wide range of available PDA's/Tablets  is something which is becoming more and more in demand.

What is however lacking in this thread and information I would want first is  'which platforms will it operate on ?' V6, V6.5 and/or  V7

I have been looking more closely at both VTiger and Sugar lately and am quite dissatisfied with both. Although each has a meritable list of features and benefits , neither product really seems ready to be deployed in a production enviroment. There seems to be a long bug list and many key features with none or only minimal (inadequate) documentation. Checkout the forums an you will see what I am getting at.
