ClassExtender is designed to make it easy to extend the modUser and modResource objects in MODX. It will not only extend the objects for you, it also gives you tools update them in the database, and search for your extended objects and display them.
Plugins are provided that, with modification, will display your extra fields on the Create/Edit User and Resource pages and will save the data to your custom table when those forms are submitted.
Support for the development of ClassExtender was provided, in part, by Kindem Design

Hey Bob,
Im having an issue in my error log with ClassExtender. Im runnin 2.3 dev in a dev cloud. The error that repeats in the log every page load is:
[2014-06-29 20:36:43] (ERROR @ /connectors/index.php) Path specified for package extendeduser is not a valid or accessible directory: /paas/c1292/www/core/components/classextender/model/model/
I looked at the extensiions settions in the system setting and the look correct. I disabled the plugin thinking that would stop the error but to no avail. I also reinstalled and still Im getting the error. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Somebody's got a redundant "model" in a path somewhere.
I haven't had a chance to run it in 2.3. I'm pretty sure that message is caused by the path in the extension_packages System Setting. It loads the class from that path on every request (even Manager requests). Take another look at the setting to see if 'model/model/' is part of it (not likely). If so, delete the one 'model/'.
The only thing I can think of is that maybe 'model/' is added automatically to that path in 2.3. You might try changing that setting. Change the last part from
components/classextender/model/
to
components/classextender/
You might want to paste the original value somewhere so you can change it back if that doesn't work.
Sorry about the trouble. It really shouldn't cause that unless some other characters were deleted and it's now invalid JavaScript.
Even then, I'm surprised that it affects Login that way.
Just a thought -- have you tried deleting all files in the core/cache directory? Sometimes MODX has settings in the cache that are not cleared when you do it in the Manager.
[Update]
I'm afraid I was unable to duplicate the problem. I installed ClassExtender in MODX 2.3, extended modUser, updated all users, edited a user (including the extra fields), and logged in and out several times. Everything worked perfectly.

I don't think so. Every time I've tested the uninstall, it has removed everything.
I'm thinking there must be something unusual about your site, but I can't think what it might be.
I think the error is occurring in the request handling process and it's happening before any part of ClassExtender is even loaded. So the only role ClassExtender has in this case is writing the value of the extension_packages System Setting, which appears to be correct.
When the browser requests a page, MODX checks the value of extension_packages and tries to load any packages referenced there. This happens before the page is actually loaded or parsed. I'm pretty sure that's what's failing in your case, and I think the error message is coming from the code that loads stuff specified in extension_packages. IIRC, you said that disabling the CE plugin didn't stop the error, which would be consistent with what I think is happening.
Even if that's not the case, I think the error would be triggered by the ClassExtender plugin attempting to use the class, which would only fail because it wasn't loaded properly earlier.
