how do I call "super" if I over-ride a plugins method???

Hi,

I want to override a method in a plugin (which itself is a method that when the plugin loads adds them via a mixin technique).

I want to add a blank copy of this method outside the plugin (say in /lib/xx_extns.rb), HOWEVER how do I in my method call the plugin method first before doing my stuff?

Super, doesn't work as I'm not sub-classing.,

Thanks in advance

You chain the method by calling alias_method before "overriding" it. You then call the name of the "aliased" method from your method.
