how to change TP direction to be from right to left

[vivid]

Hi,
I need to change the direction of the index.template.php
to be from right to left
bcz I am using Arabic Language.


also my Tp is instaledl very good
but in admin cpanel when I click on frontpage the page seem hang in ENTERNET EXPLORER but in FIREFOX it is working very good why?

Not sure about how to fix the Right to Left issue, but I know there is another user here on TP that has done this that is using Arabic as well. Search for Arabic and I'm sure you can find it.

If one browser is working well and the other is not, its hard to say what could cause it. A link would be nice so we can test it ourselves.

What is on your frontpage? Can you show us a link? Test account to access your site if guests aren't allowed?

hi friend,

Can you create a temp admin account and set the language to english so I can take a look? Send in a PM if you'd like.

Well at first I didn't have a problem. Firefox was working just fine. When I switched to Internet Explorer I seen what you're talking about. The page is reallllllllly slow on the frontpage in TinyPortal. I tried a few different things but had no success. I don't know why it would do that. Perhaps you can try it in different languages and see if the problem still appears. I can't read your language so it was really hard to navigate.

I change language to English, but same thing.

is it has any future consequences?

if I wait to update to v1.0 (after release). it may solve this prob.?

[IchBin]

Actually, I just went in and changed the admin acount you gave me to English and the frontpage settings in TPadmin worked great. It has something to do with your language. I'm not sure what. Take a look for yourself and see if it works for you now.

I should work with firefox . who knows, it may fix in the next version

I think the solution is in the index.template.php file for the themes in use.
If you open the file and search for

Code Select Expand

// Show right to left and the character set for ease of translating.

You see that you can change the direction there from

Code Select Expand

$context['right_to_left'] to (i hope)

Code Select Expand

$context['left_to_right']

And the following

Code Select Expand

"rtl" to

Code Select Expand

"ltr"

You have to search in the file as there are several places you have to change it.
I havent tried this, so be sure to make a backup of the file before you start to change anything so if it is wrong, you can add the old one back again.
