usp_name

Okay so I managed to fix a part of it. The parts in comments was the original code, and the code directly below is the part I added.
user-submitted-posts.php:

if (stripslashes($_POST['user-submitted-name']) && !empty($_POST['user-submitted-name'])) {
			$author_submit = stripslashes($_POST['user-submitted-name']);
			$author_info = get_user_by('login', $author_submit);

			if ($author_info) {
				//$authorID = $author_info->id;
				$authorID = $current_user;
				//$authorName = $author_submit;
				$authorName = $current_user->user_firstname." ".$current_user->user_lastname;
			} else {
				//$authorID = $usp_options['author'];
				$authorID = $current_user;
				//$authorName = $author_submit;
				$authorName = $current_user->user_firstname." ".$current_user->user_lastname;
			}
		} else {
			//$authorID = $usp_options['author'];
			$authorID = $current_user;
			//$authorName = get_the_author_meta('display_name', $authorID);
			$authorName = $current_user->user_firstname." ".$current_user->user_lastname;
		}

So what this is doing is passing the name as is in the account. However, when I view it on my site, I realize that it changes the meta user back to admin, but leaves the information as is. So $authorID in effect is returning “admin” when viewed from the admin account, but the $authorName is whatever account is sending the information. How can I retain the information of the $authorID in the administrator account?
