Awesome! The most amazing class on building an extension ever. Have been looking for this class forever.

Other videos are useless, either a sales pitch on something else, or just an useless "Hello World!" example.

Please make a few more videos like this.

I found this video, because I tried to find a way to do two things:
1. I need an article list of a certain category where only the current logged in user's articles are being shown. (Seems to be impossible, without overriding.)
2. I want to modify mass mailer to have user custom fields to pre select receivers to submit wanted information. (Custom fields do not show up. I have no Idea what I can else do, to bring in these fields into mass mailer. Maybe I have also to do an override?)

I have no idea, but who knows, maybe I can nest "connections" between profile data and mass mailer? Anyhow?
These two tasks seems to be "easy listening" but it's hard to solve for simple "users". So I ask my self: Is Joomla a CMS for users or a framework for programmers?
