XF 2.0 Current year

[JoyFreak]

What’s is the code to place current year ? I.e {year}? Or isn’t there one? I’m looking to add it to extra copyright the current year so it updates automatically without manually having to update it every year.

you would probably use JS or PHP for that..

js

<script>
    var dt = new Date();
    document.getElementById("your div id here").innerHTML = dt.getFullYear();
</script>

php

<?php strftime("%Y") ?>

Thank you, I’ll give that a try!

You can try {xen:date $serverTime, 'Y'} in your template.

Thanks I’ll give that a try too.

None of the methods you two provided worked. Isn't there something like {year} I can just put in the extra copyright phrase ?

you don't want to update the year once a... year ?

Automatically, yes.

You do realize that as much time as you have wasted trying to get it done automatically you could have updated it for the next 20 years?

Haven’t really wasted much time on it lol but yes I could just manually update it every year no big deal but thought there might be an automated way of doing it. No harm in asking

Old thread so y'all probably got it figured out by now. But for anybody here because of Google:

{{ date($xf.time, 'Y') }}

I've used this on various sites since the old vBulletin days.

Copyright &copy; <a href="https://{your forum URL}">{your forum name}</a> 2004-<script type="text/javascript">d = new Date();y = d.getFullYear();document.write(y);</script>

or just

I'm here from Googling and a bunch of failed attempts. You are the real MvP.

Any future Google people: I needed the current month written in full, which would be:

{{ date($xf.time, 'F') }}
