I'd like the username field to be automatically populated by the username, is this possible? i can't seem to find an attribute that would do that.

You should be able to do this just by using the user name constant:

<editor style="width:500px;" label="Comment:" username="{username}:"/>

No, unfortunately that does not work. username is for the label, not default text entry in the box. It also does not recognize the {username} as a dnn username.

Maybe i should just build my own comments... or is there a patch i need?

Sorry Viktor - the comments feature is kind of like a built in specially written form control inside of a template and therefore operates differently than a regular form. If it did not recognize the username constant then using <default>{username}</default> isn't going to work either.

Building your own comments might be the way to go if this ability is a must have.

Thanks Greg, I'll build it myself, shouldn't be too hard with xmod.
