   Hello!
   I have already managed to modify existing top-meta-fields (see http://greyarium.com/2011/06/elle/).
   What I didn't manage to do is add this custom meta into top meta on single post page):

   WP-PostViews plugin (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-postviews/installation/)

   <?php if(function_exists('the_views')) { the_views(); } ?>

   It worked in inFocus 1.6 before update, but the updated inFocus coding has changed and now the method proposed by the author of this plugin (as I did in previous infocus) doesn't work.

   I'll be very thankful for your help!

   Hello Greya,

   Are you wanting it to display on your single posts? Try adding it beneath line 22 in /wp-content/themes/[your_theme]/single.php.

   I've already tried this - I've managed to put it everywhere except where I need :)

   I'd like to put it inside top-meta after the 'number of comments', so it looks like this:
   ___________________________________________________________
   "Jun 9 2011 | People, Women | 0 Comments | 43 views"
   ___________________________________________________________

   Thanks!

   Try opening up /wp-content/themes/infocus/framework.php and change line 612 from this,

   $out .='<p class="post_meta">' . $meta_output . '</p>';

   To this,

   $out .='<p class="post_meta">' . $meta_output . the_views() . '</p>';

   I've also tried different variations of what you proposed before asking my question here, and every time it adds "the views" to the new paragraph like in screenshot below.
   In inFocus 1.6 I just added the code proposed by the plugin-authors and placed it just after the code for number of comments - it worked okay..

   It must be echoing out the values. Try this,

   $out .='<p class="post_meta">' . $meta_output . the_views(false) . '</p>';

   Or opening up the plugin file, wp-postviews.php, and changing line 145 from this,

   function the_views($display = true, $prefix = '', $postfix = '', $always = false) {

   to this,

   function the_views($display = false, $prefix = '', $postfix = '', $always = false) {

   The first variant worked, so I didn't even try the second one :)
   Thanks a lot!
