CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I do not want the contact's display name to be included in the page title when viewing a profile listing as the result of a search. I was able to accomplish this by removing the lines indicated below in civicrm/CRM/Profile/Page/View.php:

//       $sortName = CRM_Core_DAO::getFieldValue( 'CRM_Contact_DAO_Contact', $this->_id, 'display_name' );
        $title    = CRM_Core_DAO::getFieldValue( 'CRM_Core_DAO_UFGroup', $this->_gid, 'title' );
//       if ( $sortName ) {
//            $title .=
//        }
        CRM_Utils_System::setTitle( $title );
    }

Is there a way to store a custom version of this page somewhere rather than tweaking the core?

(making lobo's instructions a bit more explicit here)

1. Create a new directory, /path/to/civicrm/custom_php

2. Duplicate the CiviCRM code tree for your file, eg /path/to/civicrm/custom_php/CRM/Profile/Page

3. Set the Administer CiviCRM > Global Settings > Directories > Custom PHP Path to "/path/to/civicrm/custom_php"

4. Copy the original CiviCRM file to /path/to/civicrm/custom_php/CRM/Profile/Page/View.php

5. Edit the copied View.php to your liking

This way, when you upgrade the core CiviCRM files, your code changes will not be overwritten.
