Still new to python and web2py - sure enjoying it,
I wonder if this is a good idea?
Automatic updating year of (c) notice of footer
i.e.
© 2012 Your Company Name
this is updated to the servers clock, automatically changes to 2013, when
it is time.
*Notes:*
1. I read it is better to use © rather than © just as the
Welcome app used
2. I removed the
{{=T('Copyright')}}
3. I think the form "© year Your Company Name" is commonly used *(ref:
twitter.com and see Google's © notice on web2py google groups)*. There
is no standard format for (c) notices that I know of, and in most
jurisdiction, they are optional, as your work is protected from the time
you create it - but always a good idea to put on.
4. I wasn't sure about the import statement or wether I should place a
variable somewhere else, or of there are any drawback of this technique.
5. I like this because it is one less string to translate, and one less
thing to update each January. Sites with old (c) notices look stale.
