The problem then is that if you upgrade you might accidentally overwrite your modified default version, if you are not careful.

good article, but its better if you customize the com_user component as per your requirements, its not a big task, if you digg it a little.

Just got this in my email:

“Super article on extending the JUser API. I have a quick question about this though. When I click on a ‘protected’ link I now get my extended module and the com_user component loaded in the main window. Is there a way to redirect the user to the extended component?”

My answer:
Unfortunately a long time has passed since I wrote that article, actually we have decided to abandon Joomla in favor of MODx during this period. I can’t recall much…

You probably have two options, “hardchanging” the relevant db entry for whatever module is generating the link in question (that could be a problem if you upgrade) or simply copying the module scripts/database info and renaming them as something else, for instance ext_ like I did (upgrade safe). The only change you then make in your new modules is that link.

In fact I remember now that this is exactly what I did with the login module, simply copy pasted with new name and set it up to redirect to the ext_user component instead.

A great tutorial and a superb demonstration of how extensible Joomla is. I have one query though, if you have set areas to be password protected, when you click on them, you get the Extended Module loading and the main com_user component in the main area. Is there any way to avoid this? I’ve tried turning off the login module but it’s loading the component.
