Updated : 13th Dec 2011: The iPad2 finally found its way to Gev and he is currently checking us out via his new toy on a daily basic.
I was surprised. It was really unbelievable. Thanks a lot to JoomlArt, for the great gift on Christmas

Although, we encountered several unexpected difficulties while processing the delivery of the Ipad2 to Gev's location, it was made possible with active support from Gev himself and others. Thanks guys for your support.

JA Erio template RTLized
Since more than one year, I discussed with Joomlart's CEO (Hung) about the necessity to do a native RTL template. Actually, I was unhappy to see all these automaticlly mirrored templates with a global code: "direction: rtl" that send the vertical scroll to the left side of the screen and cause more issues than solutions. Yes, I read from right to left but I use my right hand to scroll pages and I have the same visual logic as readers of Left-to-Right scripts.
A language is described as right-to-left (or RTL) if writing starts from the right of the page, and continues to the left. Right to left scripts are:
- Arabic alphabet - used for Arabic, Persian, Urdu, Kurdish, Bashto, Old Malay and many other languages.
- Hebrew alphabet - used for Hebrew, Yiddish and some other Jewish languages.
- Syriac alphabet - used for varieties of the Syriac language.
- Thaana - used for Dhivehi.
- N'Ko script - used for several languages of Africa.
Having a stimulating opportunity to do a portal for "Aratypo: Arabic Typography" for my team of Arabic typeface creators and graphic designers, I decided to use JA Erio in this strategic project and I started to "rtlize" the template as would be naturally read by native Arabic visitors.

One of the most common questions we hear all the time, is how to move a site from a development environment to a live site, or how to move a site from one directory to another, or even from one server to another. For many this seems to be a huge challenge, fortunately, this can be one of the easiest things you do with Joomla!.
LIFE CAN BE EASIER WITH AKEEBA
We'll look at one of the easiest, and safest, methods to move your site, a method that requires no knowledge of code or programming. If you can install a regular Joomla! site from scratch, than you can move your site just as easily! The key ingredient to moving our site is a secret weapon (ok, it's not so secret, but it is a weapon!) called Akeeba Backup. This is probably one of the most popular extensions in Joomla!, and for good reason!
Akeeba performs a wide range of functions, helping you update your Joomla! site to the latest version, take regular security backups, move sites, and secure your Joomla! site. We're only going to look at moving a site though. So head on over to AkeebaBackup.com, and download the Akeeba Backup extension! It's free, although you'll see a pro version that is packed with extra features, and goodies for your site.
