   Hello!

   My problem is that I am trying to use the "wp-postviews" plugin and put the result after the comments-link above the post-title.

   The instructions for the plugin says:

   = Usage =
   1. Open wp-content/themes/<YOUR THEME NAME>/index.php
   2. You may place it in archive.php, single.php, post.php or page.php also.
   3. Find: <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   4. Add Anywhere Below It (The Place You Want The Views To Show): <?php if(function_exists('the_views')) { the_views(); } ?>

   I try to put this in the function.php in thematic childtheme but I have problems to style it and it gets stucked to the left corner and push the entrydate and postcomments to the right. I want to be on the right side with some padding or margin for equal distance

   The code is below, I try to put the plugin code inside where I wanted it to be, but I does not work for me...

   Any advices for make it work or a better way doing it?

   You can see my problem at www.digitalworkflow.se

   Thanks
   Soren

   // ********** START move Post meta above title START **********
   
   function meta_split_title($thepostheader) {
   global $post;
   if(is_page() || is_404()){
   $thepostheader = thematic_postheader_posttitle();
   } else {
   $thepostheader = thematic_postmeta_entrydate() .thematic_postfooter_postcomments(); the_views();
   //comment out... if(function_exists('the_views')) { the_views();} ...comment out//
   $thepostheader .= thematic_postheader_posttitle() . thematic_postmeta_authorlink();
   }
   return $thepostheader;
   }
   add_filter('thematic_postheader', 'meta_split_title');

   the_views() probably echos instead of returns. is there an equivalent get_the_views() that will return the value?

   otherwise your filter looks correct

   Looks like it echos as you said, could not find "get_the_views" only this part of the php file!

   With the setting right now it drops into the div#content and I can not do much with it from there...

   ### Function: Display The Post Views
   function the_views($display = true, $prefix = '', $postfix = '', $always = false) {
   	$post_views = intval(post_custom('views'));
   	$views_options = get_option('views_options');
   	if ($always || should_views_be_displayed($views_options)) {
   		$output = $prefix.str_replace('%VIEW_COUNT%', number_format_i18n($post_views), $views_options['template']).$postfix;
   		if($display) {
   			echo apply_filters('the_views', $output);
   		} else {
   			return apply_filters('the_views', $output);
   		}
   	}
   	elseif (!$display) {
   		return '';
   	}
   }

   instead of filtering you could try the override

   function childtheme_override_postheader(){
     echo 'bacon';
   }
