Current Year Filter
This module displays the current year in your content and blocks. You can use the `&year;` token anywhere formatted text is accepted, such as in your website's footer for an automatically updating copyright notice.
This very simple, light-weight module displays the current year in a block of text. You can use this in the body of a node, or in a block (in fact anywhere that accepts formatted text).
The most common use for this is in the footer region of a website, where the site designer may wish to include a copyright notice that includes whatever the current year happens to be. Without a module like this, the actual year would have to be typed as 4 numeric digits (such as 2018), and all those references would need updating annually in early January. A site looks unprofessional and outdated if some instances miss being updated.
To enable this simply:
- Download and enable the module
- Choose a text format that you want to be able to display the current year.
- In the list of Enabled Filters for that format, check "Display Current Year"
- If necessary, rearrange the Filter Processing Order to avoid problems
Once you've done this, simply type the sequence &year; in any block of text that uses that text format. When that section of text is formatted and displayed, that token will be replaced with the current year.
