Hello,
Does anyone knows what is the code for automatic update of the copyright year ? here is what I mean. We all usually put in the bottom of our site a message like this:
© 2008 Mysite.com - All rights reserved.
Now here is the beauty: As you see in there there is a number 2008 which tells us the present year. When this year ends and obviously it will in a few weeks we all need to go back to some file and modify it manually to comply with the new year of 2009.
Now my question I am sure is more clear to you: - Is there a code to attached to this message so that when 2009 comes in January 1 at midnight we don't need to manually change it but the code/script will do that for us automatically.
Best regards,

Hi Indrit!
I really think it will be more work to write a script and put it on your site, then just going to the copyright date manually and change the year. I actually think it is impossible to write a script for that, but I am not a pro.
Maybe you have already put more effort into writing this post, than it will take you to change the date manually on dec 31.
Kind regards, Kat

Thanks for the quick reply Kat, but I have seen it somewhere and I don't think it is too much work. I just can't find it today on the net.
Don't you think it is one less item for us to do in each of our customers site?
Cheers

Try this code in the template's index.php (for Joomla 1.5):
<div id="copyright">
© Copyright <span class="year"><?php $now = &JFactory::getDate(); echo $now->toFormat('%Y'); ?></span>, All Rights Reserved

if your PHP is set to the right year etc etc, you could use:
<?php echo date("Y"); ?>
Yeah, would work in J! 1.0
