Hello,
I think expando is good option for custom fields.
If we think about exporting custom user information from Liferay in future, if we create custom tables, we have to write our own logic to fetch out custom fields information.
Also, if we go for custom tables, we have to write lot of code for service builders and have to update the OOTB code to do CRUD operations while some one is saving user information, which is not a good practice and gives pain during upgrades.
As per me expando is good option and one should go for it.
HTH!

Hi ,
I would like to create some portlets for adding users with some custom fields , i saw this article here but i don't know if it's good or not , and if it's the best solution for liferay 6.1.
I have lunched a discussion before here but no answers.
Please help and thanks in advance
Hello Charaf,
Following is some rough code.
Adding New user
toReturnUser = UserLocalServiceUtil.addUser(0,getCompanyId(request), false, pswd, pswd, true,
StringPool.BLANK, getUserEmailId(request), 0,
StringPool.BLANK, getLocale(request),
getUserFirstName(request), StringPool.BLANK,
getUserLastName(request), 0, 0, true, 1, 1, 2000,
StringPool.BLANK, null, null, null, null, false,
ServiceContextFactory.getInstance(ServiceContext.class.getName(), request));
Saving Value in Expando:
ExpandoTable expandoTable = ExpandoTableLocalServiceUtil.getTable(getCompanyId(request), User.class.getName(), "expandoTableName");
if(expandoTable ==null){
expandoTable = ExpandoTableLocalServiceUtil.addTable(getCompanyId(request), User.class.getName(), "expandoTableName");
}
ExpandoColumn expandoColumn = ExpandoColumnLocalServiceUtil.getColumn(expandoTable.getTableId(), "columnName");
if (null == column) {
column = ExpandoColumnLocalServiceUtil.addColumn(expandoTable.getTableId(), "columnName", ExpandoColumnConstants.STRING);
}
ExpandoValue expandoValue = ExpandoValueLocalServiceUtil.addValue(themeDisplay.getCompanyId(), User.class.getName(), "expandoTableName", "columnName", groupId, "value to be saved");
HTH...
Thanks and Regards,
Apoorva Prakash

Its always a good idea to use expando in case you want to add some custom fields with liferay existing entities.

expando is the quick way to add special fields but use of service builder is more preferred .
