Re: Comment user field

It should be obvious, but I can't quite grok how to set the comment
user to request.user in the comments/form.html

I have a copy of comments/form.html in my templates folder in which
I've removed the email and the url fields, but now I want to either
set the default and auto fill to the user name or just to hide the
field but to put the user name in the POST data.

Don't mind me. 

For future reference:

Copied blatantly from base.html, added this field to the form.html

<input type="hidden" name="user_name" value="{% firstof user.first_name user.username %}" /> 

and removed the URL, email and name fields from the if field.errors part of the loop.

cheers
