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

Matias wrote: Kunena 1.6 supports this in the templates.

You just need to add above if's to the initialize.php in your template.

BTW: always quote strings in PHP: "he-IL" or 'he-IL'. Otherwise your error log will grow fast.

Thank you so much, the quote strings made the code work, and now it uses the "he-il.css" file, but for both languages.. it doesn't use the "en-gb.css" for english for some reason.

I tried looking for a initialize.php but there is no such file in my components\com_kunena folder.

Any suggestions?

Try this:

Code:

if ($this->language=='he-IL')

Now it uses for both English and Hebrew the "en-gb.css" file. Any idea what's wrong?

Edit: I also know that it's the "en-gb.css" because i made a special tweak for it so i'll notice, so just to clarify, it's not loading the "kunena.forum.css".

So basically, this is the current code on kunena.php line 267:

With this code (I double checked) the kunena system loads the file "en-gb.css" on both Hebrew and English.

As far as I understand, this can only mean, that this line is somewhat corrupted: I presume that's it's incorrect, but i'm not sure to what i can change it..

Any suggestions?

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
