A first try with Drupal RTL theme development

Submitted by hswong3i on Mon, 2008/04/14 - 01:26

When upgrading my 2 existing Drupal theme project for 6.x (Contented7 and Internet Services Theme), I give a try with RTL supporting, too. BTW, I face a critical problem: I am using LTR only and so how can I test if my RTL implementation is correct? Or, is that enough for user? I don't really have idea about this...

It spend me some time to upgrade theme for Drupal 6.x, but I really love the new theme engine, especially when parallel develop with Drupal 5.x. It is more flexible and less complicated for theme developer. Thanks for Drupal 6 :-)

Dear Sir,
I have installed your Contented7 theme for my site and set it as RTL, the right to left theme is ok, but when I'm trying to write in Arabic عربی or Persian فارسی language, the encoding doesn't match the theme and as you can see in this address: http://khour.ir/farsi it's not working, So please help me how can I change my theme or some files to fix this encoding error. But when I'm writing Persian and Arabic as comment here, your site is ok whit them!
Please also send the answer to my email: rezvani63@gmail.com.

Your kindly response would be highly appreciated.

Regards
Masoud Rezvani

I don't want to burst any

I don't want to burst any ones Drupal bubble here but, I tried Drupal for a while and I really didn't like it that well. I found it to complicated. I think it may be a little over rated. Maybe you should switched to word press. It is so much easier to deal with I think you will like it. Give it a try.

I'm still working on it

Lately, I’ve been spending my time tryping to upgrade my site to Drupal 6 and have quite some issues with it especially with changes on the API. Hopefully it’s worth all the effort put in.

Drupal Rules

In regards to one the comments. Yes Drupal is a little more complicated the Word press and reason for that I Drupal is a contact management system and word press is not. Word Press can probably be modified to run as a cms system but it is not initially designed to do so. The only other cms system that I feel is comparable to Drupal is Joomla. Drupal does have a little bit of a learning curve but once you get the hang of it you will grow to love it.
