Hello,

I want to revise the “Start – Current Date” before the website name in the Footer of Joomla 1.5x-Teline II.

This is more easy to do in Joomla 1.0xx but more tricky in Joomla 1.5x. OK, there is a partial answer to this already — to locate the footer contents itself, as explained by Hainn in response to:

Where is the footer.php in Joomla 1.5x?
http://www.joomlart.com/forums/showthread.php?p=65405

However, I could edit the contents of the default.php file found in

templates => ja_teline_ii => html => mod_footer folder

but not the specific statement:

“Copyright © 2008 (Website name here) All Rights Reserved. …. ”

I want to change it, for example to:

“Copyright © 1999 – 2008 (Website name here) All Rights Reserved. …. ”

where the first year, e..g., 1999, in the example given would be the “inception date” of the website, and the second year indicated (e.g., 2008 at present).

Thanks.

Cornelio

I would go to modules/mod_footer/mod_footer.php and either configure it there by hardcoding the starting year in, or maybe you could modify mod_footer.xml and add an extra parameter (and then modify mod_footer.php to make use of this new parameter) which would allow you to define the starting year in the Joomla backend for the module.

On line 20 of mod_footer.php you have:
$cur_year = $date->toFormat(‘%Y’);

and the line that inserts that value into the JText string is on line 24:
$line1 = ereg_replace(‘%date%’, $cur_year, JText :: _(‘FOOTER_LINE1’));

You might want to modify it to look something like:
$start_year = “1999”;
$cur_year = $start_year.”-“.$date->toFormat(‘%Y’);

You’d probably want to add an if statement if you added the start_year as a configurable parameter (just in case somebody hasn’t defined it it will default to just showing the current year or something).

OK, so I liked this idea enough to make those changes quickly for you and I’ve attached them in a zip file.

Just replace the files in modules/mod_footer and it should work 🙂
