Had used this module lots for D6 as it worked so well to help create Drupal users from CiviCRM contacts.
Our policy is usually to pull in the first and last, but since we prefer to have first.last name, we go through the effort of Concatenating those in the csv before importing.
Since the module has the option for the following
Username Space: Include spaces in usernames, e.g. 'John' + 'Smith' => 'John Smith'.

I wondered if it would be trivial and acceptable to have an option for
Username separated with dot: username fields will be separated with a '.'

May be able to provide a patch if it will be accepted.

Hi Robert - happy to have you close the ticket but just for clarity for others if not my own sake

My request was to be allowed to use a period (dot) ie '.'

At the time my testing indicated this wasn't possible.

In the duplicate ticket you link to you said "period is allowed" way back in 2011 - is that true? If so I should go back and re-test.

If this gets implemented it will be as a configurable character, so this feature request will be delivered as part of the other issue.

Yes, a bit confusing, trying to clean up issue queue before another big round of work on User Import module ;-)
