Question Multilingual LTR and RTL sites. Load different kunena.forum.css files for each language

I didn't check the code, I just corrected the bugs in it.

Yes, $this->language does not exist in Kunena 1.5 context.

I believe that you need to detect language because of RTL? This is how you do it.

Code:

$lang = JFactory::getLanguage(); if ($lang->isRTL()) { $document->addStyleSheet(KUNENA_DIRECTURL . '/template/default_ex/rtl.css'); } else { $document->addStyleSheet(KUNENA_DIRECTURL . '/template/default_ex/ltr.css'); }

Matias, I can't describe in words how much I thank you!
Works perfectly!

Now hours of css tweaking

For the future: We really need someone to do RTL support for default template in Kunena 1.6.

If someone provides us css file for RTL (preferably containing only changes to default css) I would be glad to add buildin support for RTL languages.

Would somebody tell me what does LTR and RTL means?

Matias, if I understood the code above will change the css depending on selected language (joomla), right? But, if I want to use the same css for both, but I just want to call a different forum structure (forum/posts/threads) for each language?

We need this feature and I know only miner things about CSS but i can help with the translation from English to Arabic:)

LTR = left to right

RTL = right to left

LTR and RTL = the direction you read the word in

Anther thing I want to add most of the templates providers now support RTL joomlart RocketTheme and many other when you have multi lang website (eng-ar) the template make changes to Kunena as well when I switch from LTR to RTL you must keep this in mind

Ah, it's better now. :0) Thanks Cerberus for the explanation.
Have a nice Sunday.

This topic is a bit little old. But I managed to do this seamlessly without any problems or hard-coding anything.
JoomFish supports translating Kunena configuration. Luckily, one of these configurations is template name. I simply uploaded a localized template and named it "default-ar" went back to JoomFish, and translated the template name to my localized template. and Voila, it works like a charm.

Hi,
is this code good for 1.6? and where to put this code in order to call the RTL in case of switching between RTL and LTR??
please advice,
Avi
