Populate Add Link With Username

Regarding the add link function code from /modules/Web_links/index.php

What edits can be made to populate this form with the username that is currenty logged in.

The anonaddlinklock is active so a user must be logged in to even get to that page and add a link, though we need this tied in to the actual username rather than offer the user to add a name and e-mail address.

For some reason the code could not be added into

I'm more familiar with asp.net, in fact I've never used php. If it is logic you are looking for, perhaps I can help. If you pass the user name from page to page using a cookie, then when that add link page loads, grab that username from the cookie.

If you check the username against the database, then you can populate the field that way. I look at .php to see how it could be done.

maybe this would work

'<input type='text' name='<?php variableThatHoldUserName; ?>' />
