Stuck on Code Challenge: URL Options

On task 2 of 3 of the code challenge: http://teamtreehouse.com/library/advanced-social-features-in-ruby-on-rails/create-an-image-gallery/url-options I enter the following code:

def url_options
  { profile_name: params[:profile_name] }
end

I think it is the right answer, but it can't complete it. All I get is the message: Bummer! The url_options method was not defined. {:profile_name=>nil} true

What might I be doing wrong?

Thanks for responding, but I figured it out. The params[:profile_name] does not have a value in this exercise, but the current_user variable does ...

def url_options
  {profile_name: current_user.profile_name}
end

That merge method is the solution for part 3 of the code challenge.

I think you just need to add .merge(super) on the second line. 

   def url_options
      { profile_name: params[:profile_name] }.merge(super)
   end
