%userlogin% functionality

I wanted to use the user’s login name (‘fredsmith’) to create custom URLs but the plugin doesn’t seem to support it – am I missing something?

I added the functionality myself by editing /includes/class-sidebar-login-widget.php and changing the replace_tags function:

From line 99:

$text = str_replace(
	array( '%username%', '%userid%', '%userlogin%', '%firstname%', '%lastname%', '%name%' ),
	array(
		ucwords( $this->user->display_name ),
		$this->user->ID,
		$this->user->user_login,
		$this->user->first_name,
		$this->user->last_name,
		trim( $this->user->first_name . ' ' . $this->user->last_name )
	),
    	$text
);

Now you can use %userlogin% to use the user’s login.

This is in plugin version 2.7.2.
