I needed a way to put in a footer position the year and for this year to change automatically.

Here is one solution:

Get this great module www.fijiwebdesign.com/products/joomla-php-module.html publish it to your position then add this PHP code


Cheers

Hey Ian, don't mean to be rude or anything.

<?php print "Copyright - "; echo date("Y"); ?>

add the semicolon at the end of the echo statement or else you'll get compilation errors, unless that module corrects it for you.

Copyright <?php echo date("Y"); ?>

Should work too.

I put the print statement in to show you can add text as well - the module works as stated - see www.emmaus.edu.au/ (obvious go to the bottom)
