How to setup a multi-language site using JoomD?
Ques: Thanks for excellent product. I am running a multi-lang site with right-to-left RTL section. I have some issues with the layout, highlighted below:
1) Fields in table such as textbox, select list etc are left aligned. I tried to check the CSS file but couldnt figure out how the fields are styled. I dont mean the lables but the actual fields.
2) On the add new post form, I get the language drop down list and I need to hide it so that the user doesnt need to select the language. Is there a way to do it?
3) Certain fields such as the select list or drop down menu fields are two large, I mean the user has to scroll the list to see what options he or she has to choose!
4) On the CSS most of the fields contents are set for absolute positioning, if I access the page from a mobile device with mobile template on Joomla such as JTouch I get a messy layout!
Ans: Here are the Answers to your Questions:
1. Find table.edittable td in com_joomd/assets/css/joomd.css and set text-align to right, right now it’s left.
2. Simply remove that row in com_joomd/views/itempanel/tmpl/form.php and add ” />.
3. find ui-multiselect-single .ui-multiselect-checkboxes input in com_joomd/assets/css/jquery.multiselect.css and add display:none; property. It’s a CSS Conflict.
4. The code is template (JoomD Template) specific. You can create a different template JoomD template as per your need. However we are going to rewrite the CSS of Classic template very soon.
