moving the hits widget into the post header and footer

I wanted to make a smaller deal of the views page widget, i was adding it as a full widget and it does not need to be that huge so moving from widget area to the top of the post. 

Move it down into this area

I think when you first add a feature to a site, you want it to be very visible, but maybe a more subtle approach is better for things like this, as it does not really matter to the viewer how many times the page has been viewed. 

PHP

// old code adding to widget
if(isset($hits->hits)) {
	$hits_card = new template("card-title.html");
	$hits_card->set("title", "Page Views");
	$hits_card->set("content", "<p>This page has been viewed <b>$hits->hits</b> times.</p>");
	$widgets->add($hits_card->output());
}

// new code adding to page template
$template->set("hits", "");
if(isset($hits->hits)) {
	$template->set("hits", $hits->hits);
}

Welcome

This is my test area for webdev. I keep a collection of code snippits here, mostly for my reference. Also if i find a good site, i usually add it here.

Join me on Substack if you want me to send you a collection of the things i have done or found or read for the week. Or follow me on twitter if you prefer, i dont post much but i probably should!

The problem with hoarding is you end up living off your reserves. Eventually, you’ll become stale. If you give away everything you have, you are left with nothing. This forces you to look, to be aware, to replenish. . . . Somehow the more you give away, the more comes back to you.
