Fix your copyright dates on your directory

I visit more than 20-30 directories everyday for adding them to my free directory list. I visit both old and new directories and it’s often disappointing to see that directories still have old copyright notices with 2007/8 dates. Some directory owners make sure that they update the notice every year but it’s not such a smart thing to do. I will share a simple trick here so that your directory’s copyright date is updated automagically every year.

This is another simple smarty change similar to the analytics on directory I posted earlier.

Rather than writing the actual date you write this code in your footer.tpl (or whichever file has copyright notice)

{$smarty.now|date_format:”%Y”}

Some directory owners also include the year their directory started, in that case you can just replace the ending year

2000 - {$smarty.now|date_format:”%Y”}

I hope more directory owners will adopt this and fix their copyright dates.
