i've seen may post on this, but they all date to 2009 , my main questions, is there an offical RTL support in extjs?

or is it still a side project?

Thanks

It was pushed back to Ext JS 4.2

Approximately 6 months ago I was offered on this forum a chance to participate in the alpa/beta "by year end". We are now at a critical point that we need to start implementing RTL functionality for a large customer and need to either get a pre-release version or consider moving away from ExtJS for our applications.

Can you please provide an update?

I've created an RTL solution for ExtJS 4.1.


It is called ExtJS Mirror and is on GitHub:

Official support in ExtJS for RTL was due in 4.1 but has been pushed back.

RTL is useful. But, it is not supported widely in browsers.

ExtJS 4.2 is likely to support RTL.

[mitchellsimoens]

ExtJS 4.2 is likely to support RTL.

This is not guaranteed, it is something that we really really want to happen.

We bought a license for Ext 2.2 and are still using that version along with the RTL community support that was provided with that version. I figured it's time to upgrade to 4.x to support new browsers, and saw promises on your site that 4.x would officially support RTL.

First of all, I just spent over a week fixing over 100 things that broke when I upgraded from 2 to 4 and I still haven't finished.

Now I find out that RTL support is non-existent, even with a community version (Behrang's hack does not work), and it isn't even guaranteed for 4.2.x!

Do you realize that RTL is not a 'nice-to-have' feature? 'sword-it' said that it is 'useful' - a very ignorant remark. It is CRITICAL. We have no Product without it. Our Hebrew/Arabic customers will not use or buy the product without it.

You must really hate your loyal customers. Now I have no choice but to downgrade back to 2.2 and I am even considering rewriting everything and using another library so that I can get RTL and latest browser support.

Please, is there any good news you can tell me?

I guess there is no good news.

FYI, my company decided to gradually move to another library and not to buy v4.x. But it may change its mind if something comes out before then.

Can I ask what was the problem that you said my project doesn't work?

Please note that I haven't worked on cross-browser compatibility. For now it is a proof of concept that it can work on chrome, and should be able to work on other browsers.

PS: I will work on cross-browser compatibility soon.

I was just browsing for relevant posts for my research and I happened to stumble upon yours. Thanks for the useful information!
