I am trying to change the <h1> heading on the /blogs/user/<userid> html page.

Currently it is set to {$name} in the lang_1.php file OR the language settings {text key='blogs+user_page_heading'}

I am wanting to change this to the {$display_name} however it does not resolve to this variable. It displays as the literal value {$display_name}.

thoughts anyone?

Where are you changing the {$name} to {$display_name}? You should do this in the code, not in the language itself.

I have made the change to the lang_1.php file from the ow_pluginfiles/base directory. I am now assuming this is not correct the title does not recognise the local substitution. But replacing {$name} with {$display_name} works in other places.

I think there may be a spot in the themes folder that would also need replacing. howerer I could be totally wrong youll have to wait for Michael.

Its not with the theme. The idea of MVC pattern is to seperate the logic and design layout.

In the .php file, you should change this.

Agree but is the lang_1.php file the correct one? If so, it does not appear to be working.

No. You should look in the blogs/controller/user_blog.php

Thanks I looked there and managed to redefine the name for the page heading.
