Overring hidden_field_tag?

Rails
1

Hi, I wonder how to override some tag generators, for example the
hidden_field_tag function.

By the way, I would be interested to learn how to extend
ActionView::Base so new functions would be available to all my views
(functions that need _erbout access, so a simple helper doesn’t…help)

Thanks

AFAIK just do a

def method_to_override
…
end

in application_helper.rb

Look in the wiki for help on developing your own plugin or look into
some existing ones.

Thanks
