Show Views instead of Replies

I went ahead and added a plugin outlet to make it extra easy: https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/22238 If you add something like this to the Head section of a theme component, you’ll see it adds the views. You can add additional HTML if needed and style to taste from there <script type="text/x-handlebars" data-template-name="/connectors/above-latest-topic-list-item-post-count/views-count"> {{topic.views}} views </script>
