Customising the JA Purity template/customisations/Enabling RTL in the horizontal menu

The original JA Purity template was provided from JoomlArt.com as a zip but the latest files have been installed along with Joomla. The relevant files, templateDetails.xml and ja-sosdmenu-rtl.css, can be found in templates/ja_purity. If you've been following the tutorial, you can download a tutorial version of the template that installs to the templates/my_japurity folder. Inside the folder of the template, the files are located as follows:

    <location of template
        index.php
        templateDetails.xml
        css/
            ja-sosdmenu-rtl.css

Note: The css file isn't installed as of version 1.5.11. You'll need to add this file to the site using the code below.

2 modifications need to be made to index.php

should be at top of your template index.php after the doc type

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="<?php echo $this->language; ?>" lang="<?php echo $this->language; ?>" dir="<?php echo $this->direction; ?>" >

second modification to index.php

Modify index.php starting at line XXX

```

```

<?php if ($this->countModules('hornav')): ?>

 <?php if ($tmpTools->getParam('horNavType') == 'css'): ?>

  <?php  if($this->direction == 'rtl') : ?>

<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo $tmpTools->templateurl(); ?>/css/ja-sosdmenu-rtl.css" type="text/css" />

```
  <?php else: ?>
```

<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo $tmpTools->templateurl(); ?>/css/ja-sosdmenu.css" type="text/css" />

```
  <?php endif; ?>
```

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo $tmpTools->templateurl(); ?>/js/ja.cssmenu.js"></script>

```
 <?php else: ?>
```

  <?php  if($this->direction == 'rtl') : ?>

<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo $tmpTools->templateurl(); ?>/css/ja-sosdmenu-rtl.css" type="text/css" />

```
  <?php else: ?>
```

<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo $tmpTools->templateurl(); ?>/css/ja-sosdmenu.css" type="text/css" />

```
  <?php endif; ?>
```

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo $tmpTools->templateurl(); ?>/js/ja.moomenu.js"></script>

```
 <?php endif; ?>
```
```
<?php endif; ?>
```

Change the ja-sosdmenu-rtl.css file to look like the following:

```
/* Son of Suckerfish Dropdowns
```

NOTE: After a deep research, we decide to divide this

CSS into 2 parts. The first part will define the layout.

The second part will define the visual look for this menu.
