Copyright Disclaimer

Renders a copyright disclaimer with the current year. Implemented as a block variation of core/paragraph using Block Bindings.

Block Metadata

Property Value
Namespace prc-block/copyright
Category text
Version 0.1.0
API Version 3

Supports

This block does not register its own supports. It is a variation of core/paragraph and inherits all of that block's supports.

Attributes

This block has no custom attributes. It works by registering a core/paragraph block variation with the following preset attributes:

Attribute Value
content "© 20xx Pew Research Center"
metadata.bindings.content.source "prc-platform/copyright"

The content is dynamically replaced at render time via the block bindings API.

Available Styles

None specific. Inherits all core/paragraph styles.

Inner Blocks

None.

Parent/Ancestor Requirements

None. Can be placed anywhere a paragraph block can be used.

Usage Instructions

  1. Insert the Copyright Disclaimer block from the block inserter (it appears as a variation of the Paragraph block).
  2. No configuration is needed. The block automatically displays the current year via the block bindings system.
  3. The displayed text is always in the format: © {current year} Pew Research Center.

Block Markup Example

In post_content, this is a standard paragraph with binding metadata:

<!-- wp:paragraph {"metadata":{"bindings":{"content":{"source":"prc-platform/copyright"}}}} -->
<p>© 20xx Pew Research Center</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

PHP Rendering

The Copyright PHP class works differently from most blocks:

  1. It does not register a block type. Instead, it registers a block bindings source named prc-platform/copyright.
  2. The binding's get_value_callback returns the string © {year} Pew Research Center using gmdate('Y') for the current year.
  3. At render time, WordPress replaces the paragraph's content with the dynamically generated copyright string.
  4. The editor script is enqueued via enqueue_block_editor_assets to register the core/paragraph variation in the editor.

Frontend Interactivity

None. The copyright text is rendered server-side as static HTML.
