Course fullname instead of "Topic outline"

I'd like to have the full name of the course printed where it now says "Topic outline" or "Weekly outline", in the Formal White theme. It's quite hard to find where to change this, though! Anyone who can tell me?

Which Moodle version are you using, please? 1.5, 1.6 or 1.7 ?

I'm using 1.6, but will migrate to 1.7 when it seems reliable enough (which is quite soon, I guess).

You cannot achieve this through CSS styling. I am suggesting a hack for Moodle 1.6.

For replacing the "Topic outline" string with the actual course's full name:

in file /moodle/course/format/topics/format.php towards line 75 replace

print_heading_block(get_string('topicoutline'), 'outline');

with

print_heading_block($course->fullname);

For replacing the "Weekly outline" string with the actual course's full name:

in file /moodle/course/format/weeks/format.php towards line 65 replace:

print_heading_block(get_string('weeklyoutline'), 'outline');

with

print_heading_block($course->fullname);

Thanks!

I'd really like not to hack the core files, though... that's so inconvenient when upgrading.

I settled with the full course name in the header, added

<?php echo $heading ?>

beside the logo.
