I’ve been fighting with this for longer than I’d like to admit. All I am trying to do is create a custom page template specifically for the User Profile page, NOT the edit page.

I am doing this from within a module, not my theme. I originally tried page–user.tpl.php but that overwrites all user pages which I don’t want. I only want to override the first page when a user logs in which is the View tab.

I use Display Suite, and noticed that it tells you some suggested templates to use. So I have not begun working with ds-2col–user-user.tpl.php in my custom module but it’s not being recognized.

I am using hook_theme() like this:

function ces_user_registration_theme($  existing, $  type, $  theme, $  path) {     $  items = array();     $  items['ds_2col'] = array(         'render element' => 'content',         'template' => 'ds-2col--user-user',         'original hook' => 'ds_2col__user',         'path' => drupal_get_path('module', 'ces_user_registration') . '/templates',    );     return $  items; } 

I’ve tried a series of this array mashup. At one point when I managed to get user-profile.tpl.php to work but it only worked on the Edit page, which I don’t want to touch. I just want to modify the View.
