How would I add a user name along with the form input? The user name  
is defined in application.rb as @current\_user

Below works 100% w/ adding the comment body/time but I wasnt sure how  
to add the user part

albums\_controller.rb

def comment  
@albums = Albums.find(params[:id])  
@albumscomment =  
Albums.find(params[:id]).comments.create(params[:comment])  
if request.post? and @albumscomment.save  
flash[:notice] = ‘comment submission succeeded!’  
redirect\_to :action =\> ‘show’, :permalink =\> @albums.permalink  
end  
end
