I'm new to the list, so I apologize if this has been discussed, but why can't
you do something like this:
require_dependency RAILS_ROOT +
"/vendor/plugins/community_engine/app/models/user"
class User
def display_name
"my custom name"
end
end

We get this question often on the list. Is there a wiki page that
describes how to do this? It is a use case that most developers will
need to use and will be a great example of how to extend the
functionality.
