I have followed this tutorial to extend modUser

http://rtfm.modx.com/display/revolution20/Extending+modUser

kept in mind that the extension_package setting has a new format (modx version 2.0.6-pl)

I have this structure;
- core/components/extendeduser/model/extendeduser/mysql/

with the ’sampleclass’ in my components root.

After I added the snippet and try to get the service (as shown in example), the $x var contains a boolean false. The error log shows me

[2011-02-28 09:28:35] (ERROR @ /~bert/modx-cms/Atkins.com/src/index.php) Could not load class: Sampleclass from sampleclass.
[2011-02-28 09:28:35] (ERROR @ /~bert/modx-cms/Atkins.com/src/index.php) Problem getting service extendeduser, instance of class Sampleclass, from path /home/bert/public_html/modx-cms/Atkins.com/src/core/components/extendeduser/
[2011-02-28 09:28:35] (ERROR @ /~bert/modx-cms/Atkins.com/src/index.php) [Extendeduser] Could not load Extendeduser class.

Does extending modUser works anyway? Has anyone expriance with this?

Are you trying to add custom fields that are associated with a given user? Do you have custom database tables that are keyed off of the MODx user id? If so, did you run a script to generate the necessary class files?

In doc http://rtfm.modx.com/display/revolution20/Extending+modUser

For fully functional applications please refer to Currenty available extended modUser classes.

How to get this samples? I has try but authorization requiring to access linked page...

Another Question, I followed by manual, when I calling getService to get extended user instance

	        
$this->shooters = $this->modx->getService(
  'extendeduser',
  'ShootersHelper', 
  $this->modx->getOption('core_path', null, MODX_CORE_PATH).'components/extendeduser/', 
  $this->config);

Error occured:

[2011-03-09 16:31:10] (ERROR @ /index.php) Problem getting service extendeduser, instance of class ShootersHelper, from path /home/user1/public_html/dev/core/components/extendeduser/

Any ideas what can be wrong ?

I’ve done this, but what I did was pretty involved due to what the application needed, so I’m not sure if it’ll be applicable to you... I was doing this all via xPDO and creating custom database tables.

Hi again, here a lot of time passed, i have return to extending user profile, above issue with package including seems resolved

packages = Array (
    [om] => Array
        (
            [path] => /home/shootpau/public_html/dev/core/xpdo/
            [prefix] => modx_
        )

    [modx] => Array
        (
            [path] => /home/shootpau/public_html/dev/core/model/
            [prefix] => modx_
        )

    [extendeduser] => Array
        (
            [path] => /home/shootpau/public_html/dev/extra/extendeduser/core/components/extendeduser/model/
            [prefix] => sp_
        )

)

but now have another problems with subject.
So, from manual http://rtfm.modx.com/display/revolution20/Extending+modUser

$this->userObj = $this->modx->getObject('modUser', $this->_config['userID']);
$this->userID = $this->userObj->get('id');

As I see userObj after that is modUser instance but how to get my extended user, from the manual i Can’t understand, can anyone help ?
I tried to follow manual and get my extended profile info in described way

$this->userObj = $this->modx->getObject('modUser', $this->_config['userID']);
$this->userID = $this->userObj->get('id');
$shooter = $this->userObj->getOne('Shooter'); // $shooter is null
$shooter = $this->userObj->Shooter; //  $shooter is null

$classKey = $this->userObj->get('class_key'); // $classKey is 'modUser'

Try <object class = "Shooter" table="shooters" ......

Use MODx, or the cat gets it!
