alternatives to sed_copyright_date

pieman · 2009-09-25 20:55:43

I’ve been using sed_copyright_date for so long I stopped noticing it, but it doesn’t seem to have survived the move to 4.2.0

<txp:sed_copyright_date date_type='end' end_year='now'/></b> -> <b> Textpattern Warning: tag does not exist on line 1120</b>

I only ever used it to output the current year, so I guess a lick of php would probably cover it. Does anyone know how to do it?

cheers

Current year:

<txp:php>
	echo safe_strftime('%Y');
</txp:php>

Weird, works on my 4.2.0 site. Both the sed_copyright_date and sed_copyright tags. But either way the PHP equivalent is:

<txp:php>
echo date("Y");
</txp:php>

EDIT: and of course Gocom’s faster and more accurate because he owns the space-time continuum
