RTL support

[parsfounder]

Persian, Hebrew, Arabic languages are in RTL format so it is really needed to have this feature.

Just source for info on how to do it easy way: https://getbootstrap.com/docs/5.0/getting-started/rtl/

@Jimmi08 I prefer to have this feature as an option in admin area.

@2548ir For bootstrap3 theme: Try to add this define("TEXTDIRECTION", "rtl"); to init() of class theme in theme.php. If it fails (I tried it, something was changed) then you need special rtl.css in your theme. For example from here: https://github.com/morteza/bootstrap-rtl

It should be loaded thanks to this:

if(defined('TEXTDIRECTION') && file_exists(THEME . '/' . strtolower(TEXTDIRECTION) . '.css'))
{
    $e_js->themeCSS(strtolower(TEXTDIRECTION) . '.css');
}

@Jimmi08 I have downloaded the rtl.css file and copied to bootstrap3/css folder then I added the following line into custom tags (inside head tags) field in admin area but nothing was changed (cache cleared): <link rel="stylesheet" href="rtl.css" />

it is not the correct way... wrong path and it should go to theme itself. Or try to use full path (or check console). And check if your tag has attribute dir="rtl" (TEXTDIRECTION should do this)

This should be part of the core theme. It was supported before. I didn't know that it is so easy or it was already on old version. Maybe you should reopen this.

The following lines fixed the issue:

It's good to have an option to activate RTL mode for those who don't know how to do this manually.

It would be a great example of how to use theme_library (to have CDN and local version). I don't know how to use it.

Going to reopen this because it needs some enhancements in core
