Hello,

I have made a change to a method in the jrails plugin.  
Now it would be a lot easier if I could make this change in a seperate  
file in my lib directory being able to deploy the change to my  
production server using capistrano.  
But I cannot figure out how to override this method.

Any howto’s on this?

Greetings,
