Adding a Year field to my product description text

[VictoryKing]

I have the current year YYYY as part of many of my product descriptions.   Every year, I have to update all the descriptions manually.   How can I use a variable for the current year?   I've looked thru many posts online, but couldn't find how to do this in Prestashop 1.7.  Not sure if I have to make changes to PHP and TPL files in order to reference the Year.  Thank you.

Hi,
You can try to add a variable to the product descriptions (like {YearVariable} ) and inside the Product controller override you can replace it with the current year using str_replace. You have to make changes in PHP this way.

Or if you want you can make the replace part inside the tpl where the product description variable is displayed.
I hope that I could help.
Have a nice day, Leo.

Another option as you only have to do it yearly: Do a SQL update on all descriptions at once (little risk that there are other number looking like the year that might get updated too)

Thank you so much for your replies Leo and JBW!  I appreciate the suggestions.
