might want to start that with a year before the current one, so you don't get 'copyright 2005 - 2005'...

perhaps, but a copyright notice on a web page is for the CONTENT, not the back-end software.. mine dates back to 1994.

Sorry if I'm confusing folks with the "2005" start date, but what I published here was meant to be an example. You can use any year you want. Maybe even make it part of a Joomla module with a parameter that allows you to set the start date!!

Just updated my site template with:
Code: Select all
Copyright © <?php $startdate = "2004"; /* set your start year here */ echo $copyright = ( $startdate == date('Y') ? $startdate : $startdate . " - " . date('Y')) ; ?>
I'm sure there's a more elegant way to code this... but works for me for now!

I was content before just going into the version.php and statically entering my (c) format. However, things have changed. My sites title is now displaying on the footer. How can this be removed and repleaced with whatever?

FYI: the footer for the template is is defined in:
/includes/footer.php
and this is included by the default templates in this line:
Code: Select all
<?php include_once( $GLOBALS['mosConfig_absolute_path'] . '/includes/footer.php' ); ?>
Edit footer.php or your template file itself to display as you would like.
