Re: hit counter

You would place the code in tpl_footer.php, I guess, but visible hit counters are so 1990's. Check out Google Analytics if you want real stats.

... or use the User Tracking module - a few years old, but works well even on 1.3.8.

Hits mean absolutely nothing...

That's the better approach, since there's already a traffic counter, which only displays by logging in as an admin.
