Could we borrow your site with RTL content for theme development?

Events happening in the community are now at Drupal community events on www.drupal.org.

Hi all! I'm one of the developers of the base theme Fusion. We've built in RTL support to the theme but want to test it much more thoroughly before the final 1.0 release. But it's quite challenging to build and set up full, realistic RTL content when it's not our language :)

Does anyone have a Drupal 6 site with RTL content of any kind that they would be willing to share? As in, to provide their database and files for us to import for testing. We can edit it to our needs but it would be a huge help to have a larger quantity of things like nodes, menu items, taxonomy, comments, etc. already in Arabic.

Thanks!

Hi. Do you mean testing site

Hi.
Do you mean testing site which might have been installed on "localhost" ?

Anything would be useful, big

Anything would be useful, big or small, it would help to improve RTL themes in Drupal :) Doesn't matter if it's a "real" live website or just something installed on your localhost, just an export of a site that's configured in a RTL language with Arabic content.

I know there might be sensitive data on some sites, which you could remove, or we would certainly give our assurance that we would never share or use any user account info or anything from this site.

Ok, tomorrow I'll send you

Ok, tomorrow I'll send you the exported database and sites folder (for D6.16).

How fast are you looking to get it

I would be willing to build something.

Also I have never done a multilingual site and it's something I have wanted to give a shot at some point. Would this work for you?

Thank you Ifadah! If you

Thank you Ifadah! If you contact me from my contact form, I will reply with the address you can attach and send it to.

tommyent, the more the merrier so we have a few to test on. And if we get one from Ifadah sooner then it's no big rush. Part of the trouble is learning how to best build a multilingual site -- we've worked on theming for RTL sites before, but this was when developers had already set the content -- so none of us is an expert on doing the proper i18n setup either.

Hello Stephanie, Fusion as

Hello Stephanie,

Fusion as far as I know is a promising theme that support much customization.

Currently, I'm maintaining several rtl sites in Arabic language. One of them is using Acqua Marina 6.x-1.9. Currently I'm in the testing phase of upgrading to Acquia Marina 3.x which depend on Fusion. Hence, it'll be my pleasure to help you. Just let me know if you still need more more rtl site exports for testing.

Thanks for innovation,
Rami

Hi Rami! Another site would

Hi Rami!

Another site would be great. We're working with the one Ifadah sent us now, but 2-3+ with varying content would be ideal. Just shoot me an email through my contact form.

Thanks!
