Thanks. I just put this into a site I’m building.

If you want your date to have a range and also show only 1 year if the site hasn’t been around for longer than a year then, you should enable php and set to output on the template and then add this code.
<?
$startyear = 2009;
$currentyear = date("Y");
if ($startyear == $currentyear)
{
echo "© $startyear your name\n";
}
else
{
echo "© $startyear - $currentyear your name\n";
}
?>

Hi Sean (and others). Rather then turning on PHP for a template (as it has some security implications), you can use some of the wonderful EE tags to do the same thing…
© Copyright {if {current_time format=”%Y”} != “2009”}2009 - {/if} {current_time format=”%Y”}
Hope that this helps someone!
Cheers

Hi Andrew,
I have just tried using:
© Copyright {if {current_time format=”%Y”} != “2009”}2009 - {/if} {current_time format=”%Y”}
in one of my EE templates, and I am receiving a PHP Parse error for the that page.
Should this piece of line be placed inside some additional tags?
Thanks in advance
Karl
