20279,Functions defined in wp-login.php should be moved to a separate file to make them re-usable,beaulebens,,"Currently, there are a series of functions defined at the top of wp-login.php:

{{{
login_header()
login_footer()
wp_shake_js()
retrieve_password()
check_password_reset_key()
reset_password()
register_new_user()
}}}

If these functions were moved to a separate file, they would be reusable by folks who are trying to do more advanced things involving the login flow.

As an example, if you want to create a page resembling wp-login right now, there's no easy way to do it without just duplicating everything from this file. Moving these functions means you can use login_header() and login_footer() to recreate the bulk of the page, then handle the ""content block"" yourself. This marginally improves the re-usability of the login system.

Patch attached which does this.",enhancement,new,normal,Awaiting Review,General,,normal,,has-patch,wycks emeraldimp scott@… zombrows
