Text Formatting ⇒ Problem with chapter's name on bybliography

[tysh]

So guys,

there is a template of Latex in my university. Problem is, I gotta change the title of the chapter of References (bybliography). So, the template is here (http://www.puc-rio.br/ensinopesq/ccpg/d ... 0.2%20.zip) and the documentation is here (http://www.puc-rio.br/ensinopesq/ccpg/d ... sisPUC.pdf).

Inside of the template, there is a tiny example which I can use to show the problem I'm having.

tiny.tex has the follow:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[
  phd
]{ThesisPUC}
  ...
\begin{document}
  ...
  \input{chapter-1}
  ...
  \arial
  \bibliography{tiny}
\end{document}

And tiny.bib has the references, and ThesisPUC.cls has:

Code: Select all

...
\AtBeginDocument{%
  \renewcommand{\bibname}{Referências Bibliográficas}%
  \bibliographystyle{ThesisPUC}%
  \renewcommand{\key}[1]{#1. }
  \special{ pdf: docinfo << /Author (\puc@author) /Title (\puc@title) /Keywords (\puc@keywords) >> }%
}

So, I changed that {Referências Bibliográficas} for {Trying other name}
The thing is, "other name" has to be all lowercase. BUT when I do that, the name never change!

I tried many commands, but nothing worked. So, checking the ThesisPUC.bst file, it has:

Code: Select all

...
FUNCTION {begin.bib}
{ preamble$ empty$
    'skip$
    { preamble$ write$ newline$ }
  if$
  "\begin{thebibliography}{"  longest.label  * "} \addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\bibname} \arial\markboth{\bibname}{\bibname} " * write$ newline$
}
...

So, I can see the name I created on TOC and on the page mark, but never on the Chapter name correctly..

Can someone please help me!?

The following redefines the bibliography section heading just fine for me:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[phd]{ThesisPUC}
\begin{document}
  \renewcommand*{\bibname}{Whatever I want}
\nocite{testref}
  \begin{thebibliography}{10}
    \bibitem{test2} test3
  \end{thebibliography}
\end{document}

If you put the \renewcommand line in the preamble, that's why it doesn't work: believe it or not, the command \AtBeginDocument means, "execute this code when you encounter \begin{document}." If you do something to \bibname in the preamble, it will still get overridden by the code in your class (which is pretty hacked together, by the way---redefining \bibname after the document starts is a recipe for confused/angry authors!).
