Hi GIJOE,
I wanted to first thank you for your great modules, and your great supports :) and would like to do a request, on behalf of all RTL users.
As you may know, there are people who have a RTL language, like us the Persians, the Jewish (Israelis), Arabians, ... and it has always been a pain to hack & re-hack the core and modules to keep the compatibility for RTL users. In ImpressCMS I tried to make these process easier, so I added RTL support to the Core (1.1 and recenter versions), now all translators and local supporters have to do is to set a value in the core and use RTL features & benefits of it, it spares a lot of time for them, and they can give better supports to local users :)
Now I am requesting that you add this request to altsys and you other great modules.
There are not much things to do:
1-Adding this to main functions of the module:
Now in templates we can use "<{$smarty.const._GLOBAL_LEFT}>" instead of left and "<{$smarty.const._GLOBAL_RIGHT}>" instead of right, and system will dynamically understand if the current language is RTL or not.
In PHP files is easier, just replacing 'left' with _GLOBAL_LEFT (in case of echo and print functions "'._GLOBAL_LEFT.'" or '"._GLOBAL_LEF."') and for 'right' with _GLOBAL_RIGHT (in case of echo and print functions "'._GLOBAL_RIGHT.'" or '"._GLOBAL_RIGHT."').
Of course users of other systems can use it too by adding a constant in system_root/language/your_language/global.php like
I have changed a copy of altsys 0.70 to this, and you can download it by clicking here.
Kind Regards,
Sina Asghari

if(!defined('_GLOBAL_LEFT')){
define('_GLOBAL_LEFT', (( defined('_ADM_USE_RTL') && _ADM_USE_RTL )?'right':'left'));} // echoes here right in rtl languages
if(!defined('_GLOBAL_RIGHT')){
define('_GLOBAL_RIGHT', (( defined('_ADM_USE_RTL') && _ADM_USE_RTL )?'left':'right'));} // echoes here left in rtl languages
Now in templates we can use "<{$smarty.const._GLOBAL_LEFT}>" instead of left and "<{$smarty.const._GLOBAL_RIGHT}>" instead of right, and system will dynamically understand if the current language is RTL or not.

Of course users of other systems can use it too by adding a constant in system_root/language/your_language/global.php like
// change 0 to 1 if this language is a RTL (right to left) language
define("_ADM_USE_RTL","1");
