Hi Andy, If by handlers you mean the controller action methods, you just add your own to the controller. I’m guessing you’re using the old Rails magic that keeps those methods hidden. I find it less confusing to make them explicit using … ruby script\generate scaffold Model Controller The controller will contain all the built in methods. Override them at will.
