I want to build a link directory like dmoz using farcry. The type dmLink has not so many properties like I wish, so I have to extend the core type and I have to add some new code to the display methods and the plps. The same with the type dmProfile.
Given that dmLink is such a small object I'd recommend simply building your own custom object. There is little or no advantage extending it (though off the top of my head i can't think of any real disadvantages).
I don't think that I am the first cf coder who has to do this. So it would be great if anybody who has done this before wants to share his or her code with us.
dmProfile on the other hand is commonly extended because you want to leverage the authentication stuff that is associated with it. We're working on extending the out of the box membership services, but we don't have much to share but ideas at this time. We're trying to distill the things we've done for commercial clients into something generic that would benefit a large audience on the open source side.
