Hi,

Does anyone know how I can access user account information in page.tpl file when I'm at the user account page (/user/xx)?

Thanks!

I don't think page.tpl.php is where you want to be?

user-profile.tpl.php provided by the user.module, which can be copied to your theme and altered is where you want to be?

There are also tpl.php files located in the profile.module

Actually this is where I want to be. I want to replace the user name shown just under the breadcrumb with the user's first and last name (which is in the page.tpl.php file). In order to do that, I need access to the $account information.

Any ideas or points in the right direction would be appreciated.

best i can tell you is to investigate the with the devel.module

page.tpl.php holds the layout, not sure if the user variables are exposed at that point. devel should be able to tell you though.
