Hey folks

I’ve started using the blog framework Thoth -  
[http://wiki.github.com/rgrove/thoth](http://wiki.github.com/rgrove/thoth)

The framework lets you specify your own views to use, but i can’t work  
out how to use local versions of the model and controller classes - it  
always uses the ones from the gem. I copied the files locally, and can  
force the program to load them on startup, but it’s still loading the  
lib ones - so, my local ones add to the lib classes rather than replace  
them, opening the door to all sorts of problems.

Has anyone else done this?  
thanks  
max
