Title: Copyright Notice Block w/auto year
Post by: DFDuck on November 19, 2008, 02:38:36 PM
I'm not a php coder so don't laugh (too hard).

Why spend the first days of the new year updating the copyright notices on your web site, let php do it.  This little snip works nicely for me as a Bottom Panel Block, the year displayed is always the current year.

phpbox:
Code Select

echo '<div align="center" class="smalltext">Copyright © '.date("Y",mktime()).' Acme Midget Works, All Rights Reserved</div><br /><br />';

Sometimes the simplest ideas are the best ones. I'll probably use this, thanks.  :up:

It's very simple code, using a very basic php command and no database access, so it should work in any php code.

I've been using something similar on my site for quite a while, except that I wanted to include the year we started as well as the current year and my site still uses TP .98, so my code is in the index.template.php file of the theme.

Code Select

echo '<span class="smalltext">All material Ã,© 2002-' . date("Y") . ' morethanspike.com, unless otherwise noted.</span>';

Well, its very simple to add the year started off on the other code to:
echo '<div align="center" class="smalltext">Copyright Ã,© '.date("Y",mktime()).' Acme Midget Works, All Rights Reserved</div>

';

Year Added:
echo '<div align="center" class="smalltext">Copyright Ã,©2008 '.date("Y",mktime()).' Acme Midget Works, All Rights Reserved</div>

';

Absolutely. Although it can be a simpler than what you have. Instead of

Code Select

date("Y",mktime())


you can use

Code Select

date("Y")


It has exactly the same result.
