Joomla Websites Still Showing 2009 footer

January 7, 2010 · Posted in Technology 

2009 having come and gone, I have noticed a lot of websites are still having a 2009 copyright footer. This should normally be an automated process which does not need to be manually updated each passing year. This is how you go about it.

If its defined in the template’s index.php file change To let it change it automatically each year, change
© 2009
to
© <?php echo date(“Y”); ?>

or altenatively

Go to the root fold Of Joomla >> languages >>en-GB/ en-GB.mod_footer.ini || modify it there.

FOOTER=Footer
FOOTER_LINE1=Copyright &#169; %date% %sitename%. All Rights Reserved.
FOOTER_LINE2=<a href=”http://www.joomla.org”>Joomla!</a> is Free Software released under the <a href=”http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html”>GNU/GPL License.</a>
