Stay current with your Copyright

Another tip for the resouce section:

As the new year came I noticed all of my sites had bad copright dates so I need a soulution and this is what I did:

To always have your copyright date displaying the current year
Copyright © 2005 Company Name. All rights reserved.      

Code:

Copyright © <?php echo date&#40;"Y"&#41;; ?> Company Name. All rights reserved.

or you can do this:
Copyright © 1996-2005 Company Name. All rights reserved.      

Code:

Copyright © 1996-<?php echo date&#40;"Y"&#41;; ?> Company Name. All rights reserved.

Can you tell me how to edit this so I can paste this into my footer?

What do you mean? built into the footer code? if not just add you date code then <php footer() ?> after it where you want the footer to display...

[fienieg]

you can use this code, and the footer text should be only the company's name  

Code:

<?php if&#40;WEBSITE_FOOTER != ''&#41; 
&#123; 
echo 'Copyright Â© 1996-';
echo date&#40;"Y"&#41;, ' ';
echo WEBSITE_FOOTER; 
echo '. All rights reserved.';
&#125;
else
&#123;
echo 'Please fill in your company name';
&#125; 
?>

It works, i don't know if you need it this way

Or, you could try something like this...
For example, replace line 110 on the "Simple" template:

Code:

<?php echo WEBSITE_FOOTER; ?>

with this:

Code:

<?php echo str_replace&#40;'[YEAR&#93;', date&#40;'Y'&#41;, WEBSITE_FOOTER&#41;; ?>

Then, somewhere in the footer text (changed from the "settings" section on WB administration), place the tag "[YEAR]", e.g:

Code:

Copyright (C), 2004-[YEAR] Ryan Djurovich

would give:

Code:

Copyright (C), 2004-2005 Ryan Djurovich

This makes things a little bit easier to maintain - next time you want to make a change to your footer you don't need to go through the process of updating your template!

If someone still is searching for a droplet that sets automaticly the year in the footer.

Add this droplet

Code:

$datum = date("Y");
return "$datum";

place [[year]] in your footer
