#181097

Hello all.
I upgraded my JaPurity ii and JAT3 engine to 2.5 on Joomla 2.5.
I applied my own theme package, layouts and profiles.
All customizations applied, except that the web site is LTR, instead of RTL. I understand in this version it should be RTL automatically by way of language selected, but this I believe is selected properly to Hebrew (or am I not looking at the right place? where should this be set?)?

I had the exact same upgrade process done off-site on a dev environment and I did not experience this.

Any ideas?
Thanks!

Yeah, about LTR or RTL, it depends on language which is applying on your site. But you can set as default and it is always RTL by:

<blockquote>language/language_yoursite(he-GB)/he-GB.xml</blockquote>

change

<rtl>0</rtl>

to

<rtl>1</rtl>

Thank you Ninja.
I have two languages installed:
en-GB (<rtl>0</rtl>)
he-IL (<rtl>1</rtl>)

he-IL is defined as default. Why isn’t RTL applied?
(in the meantime, I added body{direction:rtl; } to both template.css and mega.css).

Thanks!

That’s right, no need to change anything

For this case, you need to check direction and css style of your site to detect that RTL is applied or not.

Ninja,

Where shall I check direction and css?
As said, I manually added direction to css, but I thought the template will automatically make sure RTL is applied, given default language is RTL (as per documentation). Any other specifics I need to check?
Thanks!

You can add this script

<?echo "RTL".$this->isRTL();?>
into

<blockquote>templates/ja_purity_ii/blocks/head.php</blockquote>

and if it show “RTL1” your site is running with direction “RTL” or else

Check css RTL file on exist on your template

<blockquote>templates/ja_purity_ii/css/template-rtl.css</blockquote>

With direction RTL is load all css support RTL.

Thanks Ninja.

The script above always returns RTL1.
However, the site content is still all behaving like LTR (unless I apply my workaround…).
Strange…
