Current Year Filter

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 A site looks unprofessional and outdated if some instances miss being updated.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.
