Override page title for Tracker module pages in Drupal - drupal

Question

I read through a few posts about hook_form_alter() but couldn't make this work.
I want to create a custom module to override a menu $items 'title' for the Drupal core Tracker module.
function tracker_menu() {
// ....
$items['user/%user/track'] = array(
'title' => 'Track',
'page callback' => 'tracker_page',
'page arguments' => array(1, TRUE),
'access callback' => '_tracker_user_access',
'access arguments' => array(1),
'type' => MENU_LOCAL_TASK,
'file' => 'tracker.pages.inc',
);
// ...
}
I tried
function mymodule_tracker_menu_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id) {
$items['user/%user/track']['title'] = 'Recent Content';
}

Answer 1

You are using the wrong hook. You have to use hook_menu_alter. hook_form_alter() is for forms.
/**
* Implements hook_menu_alter().
*/
function MYMODULE_menu_alter(&$items) {
$items['user/%user/track']['title callback'] = '_MYCALLBACK';
}
/**
* Custom title callback.
*/
function _MYCALLBACK() {
return t('Recent Content');
}
You could also use a preprocess function from your theme's template.php for that (actually much better, see template_process_page):
/**
* Implements template_process_page().
*/
function MYTEMPLATE_process_page(&$variables) {
if (arg(0) === 'user' && arg(2) === 'track) {
$variables['title'] = t('Recent Content');
}
}
