How would I attach as user to the form input being added into the db?  
User name is defined as @current\_user in application.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
