dvessel commentedYour keyword there is "feature".
Comment #2
hass commentedBut we are adding RTL support to D6... so this should be a bug, while noone have already found this bug.
Comment #3
gábor hojtsyActually it would require being able to upload both an LTR and an RTL logo, so it becomes a feature indeed. We need to live with some limitations for D6. Make sure to get these into D7 though.
Comment #4
Freso commentedSubscribing. :)
Comment #5
effulgentsia commentedTime's running out, but I think it makes sense to consider it a bug and still be on the table for D7, if we're claiming that Drupal has good RTL support. Without a patch soon though, it will likely be bumped to D8. Unfortunately, it may get bumped even if a patch does get submitted soon.
Comment #6
gábor hojtsyI think others images do not have RTL support either, so its not only about the logo. The logo is even more special in that it has an upload widget on the settings pages, so hass was effectively working around that by using the file system anyway.
Comment #7
good_man commentedIs there a feature in D7 for loading -rtl images like css files, or that what are you talking about here? because I don't know what's new in D7 RTL support.
Comment #8
EvanDonovan commentedLTR+RTL logos sounds like a feature, not a bug, since no other images support RTL. If you have an RTL site, you should just upload a logo that is oriented RTL. Then, if you ever change your site back to LTR, change the logo file.
I suppose the only way this could be seen as a bug would be on a multi-lingual site, but even then you could work around it through rules in your page.tpl.php, or else through setting different themes for each language.
Comment #9
EvanDonovan commentedI'm going to be bold and move this to 8.x, on the basis of the logic from #8.
Comment #10
good_man commentedYou forgot replacing the logo with logo in CSS, which is my favorite approach for multilingual sites (e.g. adding LTR logo in style.css and RTL logo in style-rtl.css).
I guess we still need to confirm whether this a missing feature from D7 (so it's a bug), or it didn't get into D7 features before (so it's a feature).
Comment #11
EvanDonovan commentedAFAIK, there was not a feature added for this.
Comment #12
good_man commentedFirst try, only applies to logo not to all images in the theme.
Comment #13
xanoThe patch would, at the very least, require API documentation for the hook.
Comment #14
joelpittetBumping this to 8.1 because it's a feature addition. Likely needs a field for for the uploader as well.
Comment #30
smustgrave commentedThank you for sharing your idea for improving Drupal.
We are working to decide if this proposal meets the Criteria for evaluating proposed changes. There hasn't been any discussion here for over 8 years which suggests that this has either been implemented or there is no community support. Your thoughts on this will allow a decision to be made.
Since we need more information to move forward with this issue, the status is now Postponed (maintainer needs more info). If we don't receive additional information to help with the issue, it may be closed after three months.
Thanks!
Comment #31
smustgrave commentedwanted to bump 1 more if this is needed in core?
