A right to left css file for the Hebrew language - PLEASE :)

    • Posted 5 years ago #

    Hi people.
    I wish to use the forum in the Hebrew language. And although there is a file in the installation called style-rtl.css, it does not work stand-alone (and I haven't managed to implement it to the original style.css file)

    In short - can some one prepare a working style.css file - for right to left writing forums ?!

    Thanks,
    Tal.

    It should work if you include both stylesheets on your pages (the style-rtl one last).

    Please let us know how it goes.

    Hi mdawaffe - Thanks for the fast reply.

    If I understand you correctly - what you offer is to paste all the content of style-rtl.css, into the file style.css (in the end of it).

    Well, I just tried it, and seems that the style.css has some "design conflicts" in it (look at the forum header for example)...
    you can see the results at:

    Hope you (or someone else) could help :),

    If you look at the top of the default theme's header (/bb-templates/header.php) you will see:

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bb_stylesheet_uri(); ?>" type="text/css" />
    <?php global $bb_locale; if ( ('rtl' == $bb_locale->text_direction) ) : ?>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bb_stylesheet_uri( 'rtl' ); ?>" type="text/css" />
    <?php endif; ?>

    Currently, you have a file called he.mo (is that the right name for Hebrew?) in bbPress' languages directory.
    You should also put a file called he.php in that directory that has the following content.

    <?php
    $text_direction = 'rtl';
    ?>

    Then, bbPress will know that your language is RTL and should include both the style.css and the style-rtl.css automatically.

    But, you're right. There are a bunch of CSS bugs it looks like. I'll see what I can do to fix them.

    I have updated the stylesheets: http://trac.bbpress.org/changeset/591

    You can grab the most recent copies here:
    http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress/trunk/bb-templates/style.css
    http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress/trunk/bb-templates/style-rtl.css

    EDIT: It seems there are more bugs than I thought... Still working.

    I've updated things again: http://trac.bbpress.org/changeset/592
    (you can still use those other links to grab the most recent data).

    The UL at the top of the topic page gets shifted too far over to the right. I don't know why and have filed a ticket: http://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/541

    Hi mdawaffe - Great job !

    I made the php file (called it as the .mo file name - which was bbpress_il_IL.php )
    And once putting it in the languages directory, combined with the improved style.css files - it did the magic.

    there are two points to make though:
    1) when entering a thread - there is a sliding of the info part - in the begining of the thread. as shown here:
    http://www.biostatistics.co.il/forums/topic.php?id=3&replies=1

    2) It might be helpful, for less technofillik people as us - to make an option in the admin panel - weather to turn the "rtl" on or off.
    (another nice add on - would be to enable different "rtl" setup - on different forums on the same bbpress installation. Not that I need such a feature - but it might be worth keeping in mind)

    Again, thanks a whole bunch !
    After there is a solid release of a working style-rtl.css - I will gladly publish all the installation detail for the hebrew speaking community (and i believe all will be happy).
