How to override a template file in a gem?

Hello,

I'm working with Refinery 0.9.6.25 which has a small bug in a partial file. Is there a way to override this file from within my application's directory as to fix the bugged line of code?

The file is, from the gem's working dir, vendor/plugins/refinery/app/views/shared/admin/_resource_picker.html.erb

I tried freezing the refinery gem in my vendor/gems dir but later learned it can't be frozen because it is loaded before the Rails framework.

Found it:

In preinitializer.rb, i modified the last couple of lines:

  require "rubygems"   if version     #gem 'refinerycms', version   else     #gem 'refinerycms'   end

  require 'vendor/gems/refinerycms-0.9.6.25/lib/refinery_initializer'
