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

define("_ADM_USE_RTL","1");

hi stranger.
I've just released altsys-0.71 and it supports _GLOBAL_LEFT/RIGHT.
Thank you for the suggestion.
If you have RTL hacked templates/phps for my modules, tell me please.
I'll modify my modules one by one.
It can be a simpler code
Note: check [1.2.1]

@define( '_GLOBAL_LEFT' , @_ADM_USE_RTL ? 'right' : 'left' ) ;

Hi GIJOE,
Thank you very much :)
I'll try to collect all the hacked templates and php files and will upload them somewhere & share it with you.

Sure, I'll modify it like this in ImpressCMS too, thank you

The previous code is troublesome for environments without _ADM_USE_RTL 
The code should be ...
The code should be ...
// for RTL users
@define( '_GLOBAL_LEFT' , @_ADM_USE_RTL == 1 ? 'right' : 'left' ) ;
@define( '_GLOBAL_RIGHT' , @_ADM_USE_RTL == 1 ? 'left' : 'right' ) ;

hi stranger.
Thank you for creating RTL hacked version.
I'll merge them one by one.
Though the speed might look too slow, don't be impatience with it, please
