[Blesta Addons]

as the title see .

some language are Right to Left . and i heat changing the core files again and again .

i prefer if we can controle the direction by the language file .

Not sure how that would work but maybe a special template for right to left?

Not sure how that would work but maybe a special template for right to left?

it will work the same as the other has .

is too sample , add a line in the language file like

direction = 'rtl'

if the direction is set use it , if not use the default direction .

maybe we can controle also the charset , this is just a idea .

blesta have already a file to get the name language , we can use it

English, US

direction, rtl

en general a example :

setlocale(LC_ALL, 'ar');
setLocale(LC_TIME, "ar_SA.UTF-8");
define("language", "Arabic");
define("CORE_LC", "AR");
define("CORE_LC2", "ar");
define("CHARSET", "utf-8");
define("TEXTDIRECTION","rtl");
define("COMPATIBILITE", "3.2.1");
define("RELEASE", "2014-05-15");
define("AUTHOR", "Community");

i use like that in my multi-language project . i can controle the output of the date/time with the supported language for any language .

The direction is already set by the language file (CORE-850). If you downloaded the language from the translator, then it has been set appropriately already.

 

If you're creating the language definitions yourself, then you need to set it in /languages/<lang_code>/app_controller.php:

// Language direction (only ltr or rtl)
$lang['AppController.lang.dir'] = "ltr";

A right-to-left language may not look good in the interface due to styling, so that is something you'll need to consider yourself, as we have not gotten to it yet. CORE-851

what other things we can controle with app_controller ?

[Tyson]

The AppController language file contains general (global) language definitions likely to be used in several places throughout the system. It doesn't control any other settings.

Sorry to up this thread again . as the first post we heat changing the core files (we can do it and get the result we need) .

what about CORE-851 ? any update news .

i have tested the the solution mentioned by adding a new "rtl.css" if the language is rtl in the structure , is working fine .

just include it the default style at least client side , i will fill up the rtl.css and send you the style need to be in that file .

OUT of this thread , to complete task for the template we hope this one laso be included in v 3.3.0

We haven't gotten to CORE-851. If you're able to create some styles related to that task, then that may help us get to it quicker.

i have completed the task for CORE-851 .

 

i will contact tyson in private to send him the files toinclude them in v3.2.2 /3.3.0

 

 

Now we have a big probleme

 

the navlinks get thier name from database , if we change the language , the nav link remain the same .

 

is better to move the link name from database to language files .
