hello 
good day to all of you!
i have another problem in page navigation.
i would like also it will be arabic in administration and also. i try already the body in administration to rtl but still the the page navigation ltr how can i make it rtl?thanks!!! 

hi Mossimo
Did you mean top menu by page navigation or you mean page direction. any way to rtl a content or a specific area in your template ,,,just make sure of the id , class of the area you want to rtl then edit it in you css file

I guess you will need to change in core files if drma's solution did not work.

To further explain his point. Try to know which CSS class is responsible for that and then put the direction code in css file which is:
direction: rtl;

Otherwise, you may have to put the old code we talked about that determines the language and parses the dir= value in the pagenation area you want.

Good luck

i was searching for this css code  line for dayz

thanxxxx

You're welcomed,

Guess what? I found it here in this forum!! I am not sure either Ahmad, Dr. Drsh or Mohammed wrote it.

Thanks Guys for reply!!! :) :)
I sleep early yesterday so now i try what you say but still its not working!!

sir here's the code i think that the pagenav in admin appear
if ($this_page > 1) {
$page = ($this_page - 2) * $this->limit;
$html .= "\n<< Start";
$html .= "\n< Previous";
} else {
$html .= "\n<< Start";
$html .= "\n< ;Previous";
}

for ($i=$start_loop; $i <= $stop_loop; $i++) {
$page = ($i - 1) * $this->limit;
if ($i == $this_page) {
$html .= "\n $i ";
} else {
$html .= "\n$i";
}
}

if ($this_page < $total_pages) {
$page = $this_page * $this->limit;
$end_page = ($total_pages-1) * $this->limit;
$html .= "\n Next >";
$html .= "\n End >>";
} else {
$html .= "\nNext >";
$html .= "\nEnd >>";
}
return $html;

i see this file in administrator/includes/pageNavigation.php

I try to edit the css and still its not working i try to add in pagenav class.
Sir it is possible also when i change my languange to arabic it will appear arabic text instead of english the pagenavigation in administration backend....?

In my frontend i stll did not test the page nave bec i still have no template for arabic...

Thanks Emakki and DRMA!!!!!

First of all, it's like I said the first time. You need to change the core file.

Now before I change the Arabic text needed below, I do not think that the language can be changed in the backend. You still can use the old "theDir" I gave you where you need the direction but it will not be useful because in the backend there is only English. There are some Admin Templates for rtl, yet, there is no other language than English nor a choice.

I'll change the text needed below. Make sure you save it as utf8.


if ($this_page > 1) {
        $page = ($this_page - 2) * $this->limit;
        $html .= "\n<< البداية";
        $html .= "\n< السابق";
      } else {
        $html .= "\n<< البداية";
        $html .= "\n< السابق";
      }

      for ($i=$start_loop; $i <= $stop_loop; $i++) {
        $page = ($i - 1) * $this->limit;
        if ($i == $this_page) {
            $html .= "\n $i ";
        } else {
            $html .= "\n$i";
        }
      }

      if ($this_page < $total_pages) {
        $page = $this_page * $this->limit;
        $end_page = ($total_pages-1) * $this->limit;
        $html .= "\n التالي >";
        $html .= "\n النهاية >>";
      } else {
        $html .= "\nالتالي >";
        $html .= "\nالنهاية >>";
      }
      return $html;


Again, this will be stuck in the page regardless of the language. If there is a way to choose the language, you will need to add the if lang=ar the one we talked about to parse either English or Arabic.

Good luck

thats exactly wht i meant,,,i was searchin 4 it n this forum lol


(EDITED)miss mossimo now i get you..you need to rtl the direction in administrator control panel
to do that just edit the css file in the

I'm not a student  I'm an electrice engineering,I hope that I have time to get my master degree and after that PhD .until that time, that's OK you can say that I'm a doctor,I don't mind at all
here r the admin template,,,as i told you its will over write on your default admin template
http://drm.prophp.org/admintemp/blackend_admin.zip
and if you need support in rtl things just send me the template file URL

Hi,
Sorry.. got busy.

For using different CSS files, use the same methode bu checking the language then requesting the proper file. If you choose to use two files of templates then in each file there is a css file request. Use the proper file for ezch template.

Good luck

HELLO!!!
SORRY for my late response

sir!!!
you give this code to determine the languange and change the direction of my whole site now sir what code should i add to use different CSS?

if( $mosConfig_lang == 'arabic' )
      $theDir = " dir=rtl";
else
      $theDir = " dir=ltr";
?>
>

Thanks!!

Sir DRMA!!!! i will fix first the template after i will email it again..
But i will Try my best first to fix it again.......
Thanks Guys!!!!

Cool... So you are using one template file with different directions depending on the language. Now for the CSS you MUST load a different css for each language but from the same template. Here is how:
First make a CSS file for arabic and name it: template_css_arabic.css and and template_css_english.css for the english.

Now since we are using the following code to determine which language we are using

if( $mosConfig_lang == 'arabic' )
      $theDir = " dir=rtl";
else
      $theDir = " dir=ltr";
?>

we can assume that the language either = arabic or english. There is no need to make an "if" statement again so we will just do the following:

------- this is what you need to do after making the two css language files ------

In the CSS line:


replace it with:
_.css" />

We just added what is shown in red above. This will request a css file named template_css_arabic.css or template_css_english.css depending on the value of $mosConfig_lang which is the site language.

You can use this method with any language and also for other stuff like images incase you want to have different images for each language. Just make imaged like myimage_arabic.gif and myimage_english then use the code above to parse it depending on the language like myimage_.gif

I hope it works and please tell me if it did or not, and if not what error you get.

good luck

thanks sir emmaki i didnt notice you are the one of the moderator here!!

You are qualified!!!
can i make a petition for  DRMA to become a moderator also if possible!

i try to tweak my css but i cannot find where i can change the float for the items,archives,categories what i mean in top menu when i click the content by section and i choose my section the next menu is floating in right how can i make it to float in left!
thanks!!!

ROFL
hi miss mossimo
I'm still new to Joomla!, its just my second month, and yes moderators here are professional guys
i just post here  to get some experience,,,,and to learn and to test my skills and knowledge,,,thanx any way,,,

about the floating just open the css file and search for the word left and change it to right
backup your css file first

Thanks Massimo for the nice words. I am like Drma, kind of new to Joomla but been around for a while. He also deserves to be.  I am really thinking about it but it is not my choice. I guess moderation is about positive contribution rather than experience in my opinion and he is cool in that. Let's see what days hide in our fates

As Drma said, change the lefts to rights and pay atention: some classes do not have text-align tags since the coder assumes English is left by default. Such classes may take the right side as for the rtl but some of them may not. So, you may need to add text-align: right; in classes you you see in left at an Arabic page.

An easy way I use to get the classes used is Fire Fox by selecting the text I want then right click and choose: View Selection Source. This will show the source code of your selection highlighted rather than showing the whole source and be lost in a lot of code.

Then you will see class="category" for example. Look for .category in your css file and change the code in it. If it is not there then make one with a period before it like:
.category {
.....css code......
}

Hope things get well..

Again please let us know..

Eyad Makki

hello sir....
good morning!!
what i mean is the backend admin template....
when i set to arabic it rtl my template the topmenu the link for components the dropdown menu is right when you click to component...
and also the content sectiion...
i try to search in in backend template THEME.CSS but i cannot find align align...
thnaks

Hi,

As I said before. Try to highlight the portion of the page where you want it to be left and view source selection.
If there is a class then in the css make the required changes.

Now, you are talking about the admin. To see the css, go to Site>Templates>Admin Templates
Then choose the English Template (if you have two) and press on Edit CSS. I am sure you will find a lot of text-align.

If this is not helpful. Please explain again what do you have (template or templates), what code did you apply and what went wrong with a bit further explaination.

Thanks

sorry guys i was not able to answer i got busy!!!


Guys!
I try to use different template the Essential Plazza Silver where i get from this http://www.joomlaos.de/option,com_remos ... d,148.html but when i go to my contact component there is no preview image in contact info..
when i try to use the default template its working the preview page!

Guys i open a new thread about this things!!!
http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic ... #msg771817

thanks

Cool!
I am sure they will help you. My guess is, the template does not have a picture for that function since this is the difference between it and the default.

I think you should try another one but be careful to use a good one because I once tried a template which screwed things up I had to rename the default to the same template name to get my site back.

Good luck
