Question

I made a 2 language site in WordPress and I need to say that:

if html direction is RTL use some code else use another code…

I’ve tried this with the traditional way that I use in Joomla

<?php    if( $this->direction=="rtl"){ ?>

/images/slider/01.jpg” alt=”Slider 01″ title=”#htmlcaption” /> /images/slider/02.jpg” alt=”Slider 02″ title=”#htmlcaption” /> /images/slider/03.jpg” alt=”Slider 03″ title=”#htmlcaption” /> /images/slider/04.jpg” alt=”Slider 04″ title=”#htmlcaption” />

هذا مثال لما يمكن ان يكتب هنا.

/images/slider/01.jpg” alt=”Slider 01″ title=”#htmlcaption” /> /images/slider/02.jpg” alt=”Slider 02″ title=”#htmlcaption” /> /images/slider/03.jpg” alt=”Slider 03″ title=”#htmlcaption” /> /images/slider/04.jpg” alt=”Slider 04″ title=”#htmlcaption” />

But it always says there a fatal error.. I think I need to define $this as html page
but how to say that in PHP?

: Using $this when not in object context in C:\AppServ\www\wordpress\wp-content\themes\wp\index.php on line 7

It appears that it us built into another function called “language_attributes()”. Try this:

// if ( function_exists( 'is_rtl' ) ) # You may need to utilize this if is_rtl() is not defined
if( is_rtl() == 'rtl' ){
    // DO RTL code
}else{
    // DO LTR code    
}
