C-Liu

C六

 

C-Liu (Liu is 6 in Chinese) is our supported package of PHP code sets centering on a parallelling fork of Drupal 6. Originally we intended it to be based on Concrete5 and Happs in our integrative context (AII), but we have dropped both those packages (C5 and Happs, not Haskell or our AII subproject) but a name is a name so it's retained although its original meaning is now changed to connotate a generic integration point for CMS in PHP focused on social networking. C-Liu is essentially these three things:

• A completely original proprietary¹ d6 module (C-Liu) bringing AOP to Drupal inspired by but not derived from the d6 Droopal, and oop modules.
• A tested and integrated set of d6 modules verified to work with the above.
• A service based on a d6 install profile which we use in our private practice to distribute the above.

Complete sources are sold with the service however and you are free to use as you like within your organization as long as you don't redistribute.

Primary Goals:

• Integration point for our PHP code offerings.
• Basis for LAMP based social networking infrastructure consulting.
• Target for themes to be produced by CL-XSL.

C六 is the project name. Enterprise specific application will take the name of the business or organization. The exception being Social Concrete which is our packaging of the project as a Facebook app.
