Add the following to the global_start hook:

// Generate Current Date
// get the timestamp for the beginning of today, according to vbulletin->userinfo's timezone
   require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_misc.php');
   $timestamp = vbmktime(0, 0, 0, vbdate('m', TIMENOW, false, false), vbdate('d', TIMENOW, false, false), vbdate('Y', TIMENOW, false, false));
 
   $homedate = vbdate('l, F jS, Y', $timestamp);

and then use $homedate wherever you want in the footer.
