Hello,

I am currently doing my first site with SS and I am quite amazed but I have some minor problems.

I want to have a login form at the left on every page.

For that I added this to my Page.php:

	/**
	 * Shows login Form
	 *
	 * @return Form
	 */
	function LeftLoginForm() {
		return new LeftLoginForm($this, "LeftLoginForm", new FieldSet(
		// Form fields
		new EmailField("Email", "E-Mail"),
		new PasswordField("Password", "Passwort")
		));
	}

I also created a class LeftLogiForm where I override dologin():

	// this function is overloaded on our sublcass (this) to do something different
	public function dologin($data) {
		$this->performLogin($data);
		
		// If this is left out the standard form will show inside content
		// which causes the form handling to break
		Director::redirectBack();
	}

Inside my template I have $LeftLoginForm where the form should go to.
This works fine so far. All System messages are shown inside this form area, etc..

First question: Is this how it is intended to be done, or are there better ways?

Now here is the real problem:

If I click on 'Forgot my password' the form shows up inside the content area.
This form works, but the form on the left is broken because the form action changes to /Security/?executeForm=LeftLoginForm.
If I submit this form I end up with this error message:

user_error(Object::__call() Method 'LeftLoginForm' not found in class 'Security',256)
line 199 of Object.php

Object->__call(LeftLoginForm,Array) 
[...]

What is happening here? What does executeForm do and how can I fix this problem?

Is it possible to show the forgot password form where the login form was?

Thanks in advance

does your LeftLogiForm.php extends Security.php ?
