Hey everyone.

RoR beginner here, so be gentle please. I’m stuck at a probably silly  
problem and would appreciate any help I can get.

I’m trying to create a linked image to an RSS feed if the user is  
logged in; if the user is not logged in, it should just show the image  
without the link.

I read through the framework docs and figured

\<%= link\_to\_unless (session[‘user’].nil? , image\_tag("/images/help/  
16px-Feed-icon.png", :size =\> “16x16”, :border =\> 0), “/index/feed”)  
%\>

would do the trick, but that only displays the image no matter if I am  
logged in or not.

Thanks in advance!
