Changing the title of the edit tab on the user page

I was also trying to do this and so found your post, it did work for me eventually, but only after I realised you have to rebuild the menu for it to take affect. Also on my setup the user id is used rather than the name so the function looks like this (I have two types of profile node):

function mymodule_custom_menu_alter(&$menu) {
  $menu['user/%user/profile/profile']['title'] = 'Edit Personal info';
  $menu['user/%user/profile/organisation']['title'] = 'Edit Organisation info';
}

hmm couldn't get this to work. Would you mind posting the final code that you used?

It didn't work for me either. I get access denied error for the altered menu through hook_menu_alter

function changetitle_menu_alter(&$items) {
              $items['user/%/edit']['title'] = 'Edit account';
          } 

Thanks

How do you rebuild the menus?

At admin/settings/performance, just clear the cache (its at the bottom of the page, assuming you are using Drupal 6.x).

Also, keep in mind, hook_menu_alter was added as of Drupal 6.x. http://api.drupal.org/api/function/hook_menu_alter

I used this to change the title of the user edit page, user view page, and track page, but you get the point. The print_r was so I could see all of the menu items, and get the right ones:

<?php
function MYMODULE_menu_alter(&$items) {
//	drupal_set_message('Menu Items: <pre>'.print_r($items, TRUE).'</pre>');
	$items['user/%user/track']['title'] = "Track Your Posts";
	$items['user/%user/view']['title'] = "View Profile";
	$items['user/%user_category/edit']['title'] = "Edit Profile";
}
?>

Sorry to be slow but... where exactly does that code go? That is exactly what I am looking for. Thanks!

Thank you phacts for this code. It works fine for me.
I've just changed user/%user/track by user/%user/track/navigation.

function MYMODULE_menu_alter(&$items) {
//    drupal_set_message('Menu Items: <pre>'.print_r($items, TRUE).'</pre>');
    $items['user/%user/track/navigation']['title'] = "Track Your Posts";
    $items['user/%user/view']['title'] = "View Profile";
    $items['user/%user_category/edit']['title'] = "Edit Profile";
}

@webwriter
To use this code, you have just to create a new module by creating a new folder my_module in sites/all/modules/. Then create a file my_module.module and put this code inside. This will work.

Ah- new module. OK, thanks for the explanation!

@6 phacts

I tried your drupal_set_message('Menu Items: <pre>'.print_r($items, TRUE).'</pre>'); and it only shows me the $items for the admin menus in the content portion of the admin section

how do you get it to show the arrays for the user tabs?

Thanks All

Finally got it to "work".

It was the first time that I've created a module - I found this helpful...(you need to add a .info file for the module to work - this shows how.)

@ whan, try

function changetitle_menu_alter(&$items) {
                    $items['user/%user_category/edit']['title'] = 'Edit account';
          } 

in D7 what worked form me is:

$items['user/%user/edit']['title'] = 'Edit account';
