The wordpress codex goes over a basic outline here: <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Right-to-Left_Language_Support" rel="nofollow">http://codex.wordpress.org/Right-to-Left_Language_Support</a></p> <p>Regards,</p> <p>Devin </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/rtl-right-to-left#post-102930 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 12:12:42 +0000 YAS9 102930@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi ,<br /> I wonder how to RTL this theme ?<br /> thanks </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/portfolio-categories-lists-in-arabic-no-working#post-89476 Wed, 26 Dec 2012 22:06:01 +0000 Nick 89476@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>Arabic QA</p> <p>1) is every table in your database utf8? This question needs to be answered for real, which means actually looking in there. A number of plugins will let you take a peek. many people have swedish set. This may be worth taking a look at <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/utf-8-db-converter/" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/utf-8-db-converter/</a></p> <p>2) Take a look in your wp-config file, what do you have for db_charset and db_ collate. (utf8) and for collate it can be a few different ones, but always beginning with utf8</p> <p>3) Take a look at your .htaccess file and see if you have something like<br /> <pre><code># BEGIN WordPress &lt;IfModule mod_rewrite.c&gt; RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] &lt;/IfModule&gt; # END WordPress</code></pre> <p>You can also keep everything in latin characters and inside htaccess file map the arabic right over the latin so just like pretty permalinks, nobody would know that there is something else under arabic.</p> <p>Worth Reading <a href="http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/51498/wordpress-slug-issue-with-non-latin-characters" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/51498/wordpress-slug-issue-with-non-latin-characters</a><br /> <hr /></p> <p>Yes you can have an image clicked that will open up into a light-box playing a video. The theme uses prettyPhoto, and I looked on the website and there are examples. </p> <p>Take a look here working example <a href="http://jsfiddle.net/naveen/HU8zx/" rel="nofollow">http://jsfiddle.net/naveen/HU8zx/</a><br /> Developer Site <a href="http://www.no-margin-for-errors.com/projects/prettyphoto-jquery-lightbox-clone/documentation/" rel="nofollow">http://www.no-margin-for-errors.com/projects/prettyphoto-jquery-lightbox-clone/documentation/</a></p> <p>It must be possible to do with portfolio, though I am not sure which file needs to be modfied but /includes/helper-slideshow.php would be where I'd start and avia.js. I will look into this more.<br /> <hr /><br /> Changing Slug</p> <p>In the backend, go to Angular &gt; Theme Options&gt; Portfolio ...

Although this is not good in terms of SEO. Still waiting to see how the other using Arabing for the lists are solving the problem (see here <a href="http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/rtl-portfolio-items-rtl-menu?replies=15#post-89282)" rel="nofollow">http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/rtl-portfolio-items-rtl-menu?replies=15#post-89282)</a> </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/rtl-portfolio-items-rtl-menu#post-89282 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 20:44:07 +0000 ifikra 89282@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>I'm very interested in finding the solution for the RTL listing as we are using Arabic for our website.

Any idea how to solve this.</p> <p>2- Is there a way when clicking on an image linked to a video in a single portfolio post to play the video in a Lightbox effect?</p> <p>3- I want to change the name of the portfolio-item to something different in the slug URL mysite../portfolio-item/ ?</p> <p>many thanks </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/shortcodes-layouts-in-portfolio-pages-protfolio-items-rtl#post-88355 Sat, 15 Dec 2012 16:49:17 +0000 Nick 88355@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>The portfolio is powered by isotope, and yes you can make it rtl</p> <p>Here is the page telling what you should do. <a href="http://isotope.metafizzy.co/docs/help.html#righttoleft_layouts" rel="nofollow">http://isotope.metafizzy.co/docs/help.html#righttoleft_layouts</a></p> <p>I suggest you first download and install the free notepad ++ <a href="http://notepad-plus-plus.org/download/v6.2.2.html" rel="nofollow">http://notepad-plus-plus.org/download/v6.2.2.html</a> and unzip the theme into a folder on your computer.

Now we would like to use the layout shortcodes that the text flows in two rows but somehow this will not displayed in the frontend. We used for the portfolio the property 'yes, on the same page - known as Ajax'</p> <p>has someone an advice for this.</p> <p>secondly we should have the portfolio items listed up 'rtl' . I saw an instruction for this already in for an other template. It's possible to get the instructions for the 'flagship' theme ?</p> <p>thanks a lot ! </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/edit-categories-widget#post-75316 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 23:54:38 +0000 Nick 75316@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>Oops!

This has worked like a charm both in posts and also in various fields, e.g. Menus etc (finally got that one sorted - always check for missing code!)<br /> Anyway this HTML work around falls flat within the Categories widget. </p> <p>Because Hebrew being the language of the devil (or so you see in the movies, my wife would say otherwise ;) when we display post counts, the brackets surrounding the value are askew.<br /> Is this something I can change in either custom.css or PHP (if so how on both). Alternatively, I would settle for just removing the brackets surrounding the post count value in the category field </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/rtl-portfolio-items-rtl-menu#post-73075 Mon, 27 Aug 2012 17:51:14 +0000 Devin 73075@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi RSL,</p> <p>The topic is tagged for Nick's personal Queue so he'll be able to get back onto your issue shortly.</p> <p>Regards,</p> <p>Devin </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/rtl-portfolio-items-rtl-menu#post-72666 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 09:13:14 +0000 RSL 72666@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>WP &amp; FTP credentials sent.</p> <p>Thanks </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/rtl-portfolio-items-rtl-menu#post-72626 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 06:47:16 +0000 Nick 72626@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Email sent. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/rtl-and-hebrew-text-on-sentence-theme#post-72616 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 06:09:43 +0000 Nick 72616@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Thanks RSL, I haven't used those plugins before.</p> <p>Terry, Please download and install the plugins that RSL spoke about in the above post. Start playing around with the plugins on your test site till you start seeing what is missing to complete the RTL modifications. First step is always to make a list of the customizations needed and then tackle them one by one. This way the task loses the abstraction and uncertainty about which direction to take.</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Nick </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/rtl-portfolio-items-rtl-menu#post-72590 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 23:53:32 +0000 RSL 72590@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>The demo site is up.

There's a free plugin called polylang that'll do it: <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/polylang/" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/polylang/</a> but the paid plugin @ <a href="http://inoplugs.com/wpml">wpml.org</a> is much more comprehensive. It'll also help you to easily translate text strings in the template &amp; plugins easily. The primary function of both is to have multiple languages in the frontend though.</p> <p>I've managed to convert many templates' CSS to RTL successfully using the following plugin: <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/rtler/" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/rtler/</a></p> <p>That plugin saves you hours as it mirrors everything for you. Just make sure that you apply it to all the css files used for your template. On Kriesi's Eunoia template - I had to apply it to base.css &amp; layout.css and then combine the results in a new rtl.css that is placed in the template root.</p> <p>You'll still have to fine-tune some stuff - but not too much - it literally saves you hours.</p> <p>The only problem that you'll have is with framework specific stuff (with Kriesi's templates that's the avia framework stuff). Nick is very kindly helping me out (thanks a lot) with a specific issue regarding the portfolio framework.</p> <p>I suggest you checkout the above-mentioned plugins. I'm not an expert developer by a long-shot - but I've managed to setup numerous Arabic &amp; English sites using non-RTL enabled templates by using the above plugins &amp; some help from template developers for their framework specific stuff. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/rtl-portfolio-items-rtl-menu#post-72574 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 21:06:37 +0000 RSL 72574@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>Thanks for wanting to give it a go. I'll put up a demo site within an hour (it's local at present) - can you let me know how to send you the address &amp; login details privately. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/rtl-portfolio-items-rtl-menu#post-72474 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 10:45:31 +0000 Nick 72474@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>Could you put up a demo with the plugin please? I was going to play around with it this weekend, but I forgot that you want two version to work depending on the plugin's language selection.</p> <p>Logically something like this needs to happen:</p> <p>1) Page starts loading<br /> 2) jQuery checks selector of plugin to see what language is shown<br /> 3) conditionally LTR or RTL sections of code are executed</p> <p>or possibly can also use PHP to conditionally enqueue avis.js or avis-rtl.js based on metadata from the plugin. Since I don't have it, I am not sure what method it uses to keep track of which language to display for visitors, cookies, meta data, etc...</p> <p>There are two or three locations where the categories are being displayed, did you change all of them?</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Nick </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/rtl-and-hebrew-text-on-sentence-theme#post-72390 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 23:18:08 +0000 Nick 72390@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>Keep practicing. Download firebug and web developer extensions for your browser and you will be able to follow along a lot better. At the bottom of the link there is a working demo version of portfolio sorter that is RTL. If I have free time I will take a closer look but it looks obfuscated.</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Nick </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/rtl-portfolio-items-rtl-menu#post-72363 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 18:21:32 +0000 RSL 72363@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi Nick,</p> <p>I've managed to RTL everything else required in the theme so far. I think the only thing remaining is to start the Portfolio Items from the Right.</p> <p>I'll try &amp; have a look - I presume it's the avia.js that contains the Isotype javascript that needs to be changed as per the help link you sent me. The only thing is I haven't got a clue how I can change it only for RTL &amp; keep it the same for LTR.</p> <p>Thanks </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/rtl-and-hebrew-text-on-sentence-theme#post-72361 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 18:16:35 +0000 terryhoulding 72361@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Thanks Nick, </p> <p>Have already gone down the freelancer route, but the quotes Im getting are a bit far fetched (well, according to my wallet they are). Will have a look at your link to see if its something I can pick up... Ive just renamed my SEND button via the contact form.PHP so on a roll (though it did take me 30 mins!) Still, Keep on learning </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/rtl-and-hebrew-text-on-sentence-theme#post-72357 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 17:53:05 +0000 Nick 72357@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>I was just looking into RTL for someone ( <a href="http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/rtl-portfolio-items-rtl-menu" rel="nofollow">http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/rtl-portfolio-items-rtl-menu</a> ) who wanted to customize a different theme which also uses Kriesi's framework to have an English/Arabic RTL website. </p> <p>Please look at some of the issues involved in the above link. In my opinion to completely do the conversion - to make a mirror image of the site to accommodate right to left text would be excruciatingly time intensive task involving the modification of at least 10 or more core files - CSS, PHP, and jQuery to change widgets, sidebars, categories, galleries, etc...</p> <p>Since you mentioned that you are not a developer, I think the best solution would be (as I suggested to the other person) to hire a freelancer to customize your web property and truly make it stand out with full right-to-left specifications. I've listed a few important links , as well as code blocks, that will help you get the project on the right track.</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Nick </p>
