ClassExtender: Both 'MyExtraUserFields' and 'MyExtraUserFieldsCustom' appearing in (mgr) user profile

Greetings,

I had installed ClassExtender earlier, and today needed to add a new extended field to the schema. So, I updated these files to include the new field:

MyExtUserSchemaCustom
MyExtraUserFieldsCustom

I then viewed and submitted the 'Extend modUser' resource.

...with the following settings:

[[!ClassExtender?
    &package=`extendeduser`
    &schemaTpl=`MyExtUserSchema`
    &class=`extUser`
    &parentObject=`modUser`
    &tablePrefix=`ext_`
    &tableName=`user_data`
    &dirPermission=`0755`
]]

Unfortunately, I forgot to change the &schemaTpl to &schemaTpl=`MyExtUserSchemaCustom`, so it ran with the default values in &schemaTpl=`MyExtUserSchema`.

I noticed the error, and submitted the 'Extend modUser' resource again with the correct &schemaTpl=`MyExtUserSchemaCustom`.

Now, when I open a user in Manager, the fields defined in both 'MyExtraUserFields' and 'MyExtraUserFieldsCustom' appear. For example:

First Name <-- from MyExtraUserFields
Last Name <-- from MyExtraUserFields
Title <-- from MyExtraUserFields
First Name <-- from MyExtraUserFieldsCustom
Last Name <-- from MyExtraUserFieldsCustom
Other extended fields <-- from MyExtraUserFieldsCustom

Where is it that both 'MyExtraUserFields..' templates are being loaded into the User form, so I can fix it?

Thanks,

Karl Forsyth

I figured out what happened here.

When I viewed and submitted the 'Extend modUser' resource twice, once with the incorrect value

&schemaTpl=`MyExtUserSchema`

and once with the correct value

&schemaTpl=`MyExtUserSchemaCustom`

it enabled both of these plugins: 'ExtraUserFields' and 'ExtraUserFieldsCustom'.

I disabled the 'ExtraUserFields' plugin, and now, when I open a user in Manager, only the fields defined in 'MyExtraUserFieldsCustom' appear.
