PunBB 1.2 development source (Page 7 of 12)

is it not better to have a set of RTL and a set of LTR themes incase some people don't like RTL (since the rest of the internet is not all RTL some people might even prefer LTR i dunno)

I am working on it, that is my target.

Paul:
i know, i want to make my forum multi language, if i choose "Arabic" that will switch to RTL if i choose "English"  -> switch to LTR with same theme

if @import include in theme.css file (like Oxygen) i can not make that swtithing, but in header.php like this

  if ($lang_common['lang_direction']=='rtl')
  ?>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style/imports/pun12base_rtl.css" />
  <?
  else
  ?>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style/imports/pun12base.css" />
  <? ; ?>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style/<?php echo $style.'.css' ?>" />

in that case i will not change any of file of theme, and easy to hack the code.

yeh but if you do that then it is wasted that you can include different base files for different styles. why can't you just have Oxygen LTR and Oxygen RTL on the style list?

I don't know about the situation of other countries, but in Korea there are so many people who visit websites for collecting email addresses or some personal information. it is because Korea's web industries are so developed, there are so many shopping malls or mailing systems. sooner or later Europe(is it right spelling?) will change like Korea, there are some people who don't want to their email address known to commercial mailers. Actually I get at least 5-6 commercial emails every day for one email ID. so 2-3days later usually I deleted about 30 mails.

E-mail addresses aren't displayed for guests at all, so you don't have to worry about e-mail address harvesters anymore.

Yes.

RTL Languages, Ok i do it,

create folder "style_rtl"
copy all css files to that folder and patch it for RTL alignment (using PunTranslator 1.1.2 not uploaded yet)

add to header.php one line and modify another

$style =(($lang_common['lang_direction']=='rtl') ? 'style_rtl/' : 'style/') . $style;

?>
<title><?php echo $page_title ?></title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?php echo $style.'.css' ?>" />

test  use IE or Opera because there is a problem with RTL in FF
username user
password user

how about this idea

zaher: I like it. It keeps the imports in the stylesheets and allows for switching between styles for RTL users. I don't have the final word though.

My only concern is what happens if somebody using RTL simply decides to convert the existing files and doesn't create a style_rlt directory. The code needs to fail so that if there is no rtl directory then styles still gets selected. Or are you suggesting PunBB gets distributed already setup for RTL?

I know, I will release it as MOD. or release it with PunBB_RTL setup in my site. or may be in PunBB++

i have one request for now to modify the Offical PunBB 1.2, it's "code" tag must be always dir="ltr" and text alignment left  there is not any programming language Right To left.

test alignment and align depending on CSS that is wonderful thing it is now completely Right to left when just patch the css, not need to modify the code like other forums.

>RTL pack like the language packs
that what i mean when i say "as MOD or PunBB_RTL setup", but my hope it be in offical PunBB not MOD that mean more hard work for Rickard and Paul, i think must let him consider what a perfect way.

Possible solution:

if ($lang_common['lang_direction'] == 'rtl' && file_exists($pun_root.'style_rtl'))
    $style_path = 'style_rtl/';
else
    $style_path = 'style/';

Edit: Typo.
