Issue Summary
I'd like to add the following code to a block that will be shown in the footer left area:
©<?php print date('Y');?> Company Name - 123 Main St - Anywhere, NY 10101There are 3 ways that I can think of doing it:
- turn on the php filter & enter the code into a block that is positioned in the footer left region.
- Put the code in the appropriate template file in the sub-theme.
- Make a module that outputs the code to a block; activate and place the block.
Since #1 involved the php filter, it is a security risk. And #3 seems like overkill.
I've done method #2 when I've used another starter theme (zen, basic) as the specific code for rendering the block was easy to locate and replace.
But where do I find the code that outputs the left footer region, without affecting the output of the right footer region?
The template section--footer.tpl.php only contains code for rendering the entire region.
<footer<?php print $attributes; ?>>
<?php print $content; ?>
</footer>Where would i find the code that would allow me to customize a mythical file "section--footer_left.tpl.php" and over-ride its contents?

Answered my own question.... Solution #3....MODULE!
copyright_block.info
;$Id$name = Copyright Block
description = Shows the (incrementing) current year and company information.
package = Other
core = 7.x
files[] = copyright_block.module
copyright_block.module
<?php
/**
* @file
* This module shows the copyright year and company information.
*/
/**
* Implements hook_help().
*/
function copyright_block_help($path, $arg) {
if ($path == 'admin/help#copyright_block') {
return t('Manually edit to change company information');
}
}
/**
* Implements hook_block_info().
*/
function copyright_block_block_info() {
$blocks = array();
$blocks['show_copyright'] = array(
'info' => t('Company Information'),
'cache' => DRUPAL_NO_CACHE,
);
return $blocks;
}
/**
* Implements hook_block_view().
*/
function copyright_block_block_view($block_name = '') {
if ($block_name == 'show_copyright') {
$content = "<p>©" . date('Y') ." Mega Corp, Inc; 123 Main St; Suite 1010; Anytown, NY 10101</p>";
$block = array(
'subject' => t('Company Information'),
'content' => $content,
);
return $block;
}
}
Note: block has a subject that is in the code for screen readers, but suppressed for others with CSS.
