Wow, this is awesome but also a little confusing.
The title of the argument overrides the title of the page, cool. But I'm still not clear about getting at the value of the argument.
I have to choose an action to take if argument is not present, and for some reason the argument is never present. Does this mean I have to add the argument to the URL? That defeats the purpose of using the name of the current user.
When I looked at the form for configuring the argument User: Name, the first thing I tried was putting "%1" in the title. I can choose "Provide default argument" as the Action To Take if Argument Is Not Present, and then use PHP code , but that seems like I'm doing way too much for what you described as a simple setting.
Sorry if I'm being dense.

Steve,
This is what Views "arguments" were created for. Make the user an argument. The argument settings allow for dynamic content, based on the argument, to be used for the page title.

This seems like a simple enough thing, but I'm plum stumped.
I've created a view of all a user's content, and I'd like to include the username in the title of the displayed page. I've tried using token and variable syntaces and both simply display the actual characters I typed, not substituting the username.
Is it true that the title of a Page created by Views has to be static text and cannot include data about the content displayed?
Hello, you can write php code at the head of the view if you enable the php filter.
Cheers!
