Hi,

this might be a stupid question, but is there like a naming convention
for base models? Lets say you develop an application where custom work
is possible. So you create a core for your application.

But for the custom development, you don't want to touch your core code,
you want to override / extend it.

How do you achieve this? Is it like possible to name your models /
controllers in a certain way? And how do you override / extend your base
code?

I was thing in a way like:

UsersBase < ActiveRecord::Base => (base model for users)
  -> Users < UsersBase => custom stuff (like extra fields)

UsersBaseController < ApplicationController => (base controller
  -> UsersController < UsersBaseController => custom actions / overriden
actions

This could work right? But what in the case that their isn't any custom
work? Then I would still need to create those empty models /
controllers, becouse otherwise I would have diffrent url's.

Also, I was thinking to convert my base code into plugins. But is still
something I have to research on how to do that, and how to extend /
override the plugin code.

So I whas hoping someone could give me some good advice here.
Thank you in advance.
