Hi Everyone,

I've just re-launched a website for a client using the Nebula Theme and I am having difficulty simply adding a Custom Footer so that it automatically pulls in the current year copyright date (dynamic) and the Site Owner's name. I have placed the info in the "Add Custom Copyright" but I'm not succeeding. This is once again a slight learning curve for me.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Steve

Steve,

Might want to give this non-commercial extension a go;
extensions.joomla.org/extensions/news-display/content-infos/credits/15482
Showing that it is only Joomla 2.5 ready but it will install and work in Joomla 3.x without issues.

Steve,

If you use this extension there is a slight adjustment you may want to add within the mod_abiviaautocopy.php module file.

Original code:
Replace with:
This adjustement will add a space between the copyright symbol and the copyright year.

Thanks Ed for the direction. I typically use the Joomla Footer and edit it but since the opportunity is there to add the info in the Template set-up I was hoping to do that. My problem arises in coming up with the correct code for pulling in the year and the site.

For instance, I currently have:
I have the copyright symbol but nothing pulled in for date and site_name. Would this be the correct code or might I be missing a prefix to the date?

Steve,

The only way I am able to get this to work is by editing the footer.php file (templates/nebula/tpls/blocks/footer.php). Every type of HTML coding that I put into the template's Custom Copyright box did not work.

p.s. please remember... if you edit the footer.php file it MAY get wiped-out and replaced when you do a template upgrade.
