Using %%CURRENT_USER_LOGIN%% in a function

I’m using a function to manually add an item to a menu and this works great, however I need to add the %%current_user_login%% link to the link and this is where I’m having trouble. Everything I’ve tried so far has resulted in a white page when I refresh :-/

add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_items', 'add_member_link', 10, 2 );

function add_member_link( $items, $args ) {

    if (is_user_logged_in() && $args->theme_location == 'members') {
        $items .= '<li class="people menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page"><a href="http://www.andyogden.co.uk/members/">Client Area</a></li>';
    }
    return $items;
}

The link wants to read…
http://www.andyogden.co.uk/members/%%current_user_login%%

Can anyone help?

Thanks
Andy

Unfortunately I didn’t get a response to this with a quick fix, but I wanted to help out anyone with a similar query by posting the answer I came up with.

It’s not difficult, it’s just a little outside my comfort zone and I must’ve got the syntax wrong first time, as I swear I tried this once already.

add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_items', 'add_member_link', 10, 2 );

function add_member_link( $items, $args ) {

    if (is_user_logged_in() && $args->theme_location == 'members') {
        $items .= '<li class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page"><a href="http://www.andyogden.co.uk/members/'.S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_LOGIN.'">Member Area</a></li>';
    }
    return $items;

Hope someone finds this useful, especially beginners like me!

Hello Andy,
