How to display the desired title on the main page in drupal 7?

Question

Drupal

Hello. How can I display the title I want on the main page. <?php print $title?> does not work on the main page. As I understand it, you can solve this through page--front.tpl.php, but how to do it correctly? Do I really have to copy the entire page.tpl.php while writing only the title I need? Or are there any other solutions? I've only been using Drupal for a week. Thank you.

Answer 1

<? 
//page.tpl.php

if ($is_front) { //флаг "главная страница"
  echo 'Мой заголовок';
}

?>

Answer 2

template.php in theme

function mytheme_preprocess_page(&$variables){
    if (drupal_is_front_page()){
        drupal_set_title('New title');
    }
}
