didnt somebody meet problem with wrong number of arguments? I have this  
in articles\_helper.rb : def menu\_page(id,zanoreni, previous, koren,  
mapa) and this in sitemap.rhtml: \<%= menu\_page(0, 0,’’, true, true) %\>.  
And this is the error message: wrong number of arguments (4 for 5)

I don’t understand it…

sorry, problem solved… menu\_page is recursive, and I forgot to add a  
new parameter in the recursive call in the body…
