tag to echo year?

[bkgca]

Is there a tag to call and echo the present year?

Like in php..

<?php echo date('Y'); ?>


Wanted to place it in the footer with our "all rights" / "copy write " statement.

I don't think there is any Shopsite tag to do this.

However, if your HTML pages are PHP-enabled, you could just use the PHP.

Chris,

tnx..

I'm trying to place it in the layout - footer, not any of the "pages" ...

I tried the php line in the footer html, didn't work.

Searched the tags in the help section, and couldn't find anything, was wondering if I missed it.

What do you mean "I tried the php line in the footer html, didn't work."

I assume your product page names end in .htm or .html?

If so, it is possible your web server is not set up to parse PHP code on pages ending in .html

You could tell your server to do this by adding the following to your .htacess file:

Code: Select all

AddType application/x-httpd-php .html

yes, tried the php line/code in the shopsite footer by going into the shopsite back office, Preferences/Layout Settings/ and then editing the footer - pasted in the line of php code " <?php echo date('Y'); ?> " , and it didn't work.

yes the pages generated by shopsite are .html .

Other non-shopsite pages on the site, I use the same php line of code for the year in the footer and not a problem, the year is shown as expected.
So didn't think it was a "site" problem.

Thought it was something with shopsite, when it generates the page, ignoring the php code I had put in the footer for the shopsite pages??
(I have some WP plugins that don't like certain normal html tags for forms, and use their own and own syntax.... annoying , didn't know if shopsite was doing the same thing)

My non-shopsite pages are in the root of the site and other sub-directories, and shopsite is installed in a sub-directory "store" under the root of the site.

??
Thanks a bunch for walking through this with me.

Update BFChris...

well , for giggles I modify my .htaccess in the root, added that statement, and the php year code now works in the shopsite footer..

tnx a ton..

[BFChris]

Glad it worked.

Are the non-Shopsite pages on your site .php files?

mostly WP.
some others .htm
