Description

The mod_footer template override at html/mod_footer/default.php was rendering blank or incorrect content because it used $module->content instead of the module's prepared $lineone variable.

Root Cause

mod_footer is not a custom HTML module — it generates its own copyright/year line via a helper that populates the $lineone variable. The override incorrectly treated it like mod_custom and rendered $module->content, which is empty for this module type.

Additionally, the MOD_FOOTER_LINE2 ("Joomla! is Free Software...") language string was not being output.

Fix Applied

Replaced $module->content with $lineone (the prepared footer text)
Added Text::_('MOD_FOOTER_LINE2') output
Used BEM class names .mod-footer__line1 / .mod-footer__line2

Status

Fixed in commit 8b49ff6.

Fixed in commit 8b49ff6. The mod_footer override was using $module->content (empty for this module type) instead of the prepared $lineone variable. Fixed to use $lineone and added MOD_FOOTER_LINE2 output.
