Hey Dirk, I noticed you somehow pushed "2000" in the middle of {copyright_notice}.

I've always thought it'd be a great addition to have something like
$_CONF['copyrightyear-start'] = '2000';
in config.php, but I assume you did it directly.

So did you edit your personal lib-common.php from:

$footer->set_var( 'copyright_notice', ' ' . $LANG01[93] . ' © '
. $copyrightyear ...

to something like:

$footer->set_var( 'copyright_notice', ' ' . $LANG01[93] . ' © 2000-'
. $copyrightyear ...

or what?

In any case, you must share with the rest of with such things in the future (versions).

It's all built-in already. This is straight from the geeklog.net config.php:
Text Formatted Code
// Uncomment the following line to set the copyright year in the site's footer  
// to a specific year. Otherwise, the current year will be used.
$_CONF['copyrightyear'] = '2000-2004';
 

bye, Dirk

But what will happen in 2005...?
I want 2000-(current_year).

If you implement my suggestion from above, you just need to add:

if( !empty( $_CONF['copyrightyear-start'] ))
{
$copyrightyear = $_CONF['copyrightyear-start'] . '-' . $copyrightyear;
}

Then you have to change the {copyright_notice} variable in config.php to

Text Formatted Code
{lang_copyright} &copy; 2000-{current_year} {site_name}<br>{trademark_msg}
 

i.e. the various parts of the copyright notice are also available as variables and you can build your own message from them.

Take another look at my aforementioned code.
Don't you think my global approach is better?

All you have to do is add the new parameter $copyrightyear-start to config.php and then add the new "if" statement to lib-common.php.
