Here is the session_helper.rb:

   module SessionsHelper

     def sign_in(user)
       cookies.permanent[:remember_token] = user.remember_token
       self.current_user = user
     end

     def signed_in?
        !current_user.nil?
     end

     def current_user=(user)
       @current_user = user
     end

     def current_user(user)
       @current_user ||= User.find_by_remember_token(cookies[:remember_token])
      end
end

I haven’t figured out how to get HTML to post, but if it would be helpful to see the applicaiton.html.erb and the _header.html.erb, just let me know and I will keep trying. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated! thanks!

    The last method in your SessionsHelper module, current_user, doesn’t need to take an argument user. This is why you see the error “wrong number of arguments (0 for 1).”
