how to change direction

[NNJJ]

hi

how i can change the style direction to be from right to left?

[BirdOPrey5]

True "Right to Left" is controlled by the language chosen... if it's an RTL (right-to-left) language like Arabic then the forum will automatically change to RTL format.

To override this for a language like English you can make a new plugin on the global_start hook with the code:

$stylevar[textdirection] = "rtl";

Set active to YES and SAVE.

If you just want say the username/avatar on the right side of the postbit instead of the left side you would have to manually edit your templates- in this case the postbit_legacy template.

After further inspection the plugin above only works in VB 3.x, it doesn't work in VB 4.x and I tried many other hooks besides global_start.

For VB4 Go to Admin CP -> Language Manager -> Edit Settings for your language and choose text direction "Right to Left" instead of "Left to Right" - you could probably do this for VB3 too without a plugin.

And in a conditional let's say for vB4 you can use for example:

<div style="float:<vb:if condition="$stylevar['textdirection'] == 'rtl'">right<vb:else
/>left</vb:if>;"> Code Code code etc etc </div>
