How do you change the year in the footer?

[sumdexusa]

Hello All,

 

The copyright year in the footer of my site still says 2008. How do I change this? I've searched and searched but haven't found out how to do this. The farthest I got is looking in the English.php file in my includes/languages folder. At the bottom it says:

 

define('FOOTER_TEXT_BODY', 'Copyright © ' . date('Y') . '

 

But where do I specify that 2008 is not the current year? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Look in /catalog/includes/footer.php

 

See if 2008 is in there.

Thank you for the assistance. Unfortunately, I couldn't find it in footer.php. Here is what I have in the footer.php file:

 

<?php

// START STS 4.5

if ($sts->display_template_output) {

// Get content here, in case column_right is not called.

if (!isset($sts->template['content'])) $sts->restart_capture ('content');

} else {

//END STS

 

require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'counter.php');

?>

<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="1">

<tr class="footer">

<td class="footer">  <?php echo strftime(DATE_FORMAT_LONG); ?>  </td>

<td align="right" class="footer">  <?php echo $counter_now . ' ' . FOOTER_TEXT_REQUESTS_SINCE . ' ' . $counter_startdate_formatted; ?>  </td>

<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">

<td align="center" class="smallText"><?php echo FOOTER_TEXT_BODY; ?></td>

<?php

if ($banner = tep_banner_exists('dynamic', '468x50')) {

?>

<tr>

<td align="center"><?php echo tep_display_banner('static', $banner); ?></td>

</tr>

</table>

<?php

}

// START STS 4.1

}

// END STS 4.1

?>

 

Anywhere else I should check?

Looks like you have STS installed.

 

That means you should be looking in another file.

 

I just don't have a clue what the "other file" would be...

If this "2008" is part of someone else's (osC, STS author) copyright, leave it alone. You have no legal right to go changing someone else's copyright date -- that could land you in hot water. If it's your copyright statement, you are free to change it to a later year provided that you released changed content in that year. Otherwise, if nothing has changed since 2008, you must leave the copyright date as 2008. It marks the last year of release, and starts the clock counting down on the copyright's expiration.

Good point, Mr. Phil. But yes, the copyright is our company's copyright and there are changes in content on a daily basis.

 

Now that I have confirmed we are indeed using some kind of STS file, what files should I start with to start looking in? Since this our home page, would the index file give me a clue? Or perhaps the footer or the includes/language/english.php file? Any ideas would be appreciated. Thank you!

F.Y.I.

Thanks for the help everyone! I found it!

 

It indeed was in the STS file. Thanks again! Now if I could only get that darn special price problem fixed... :D

Where did you find it?
