How to use Prologue’s post-from-index-form with other themes

Hi there,

I was wondering if the posting-box from prologue (see http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/prologue) in other themes as well!

I tried copying the following part from prologue’s index.php into k2’s index.php

<?php
if( 'POST' == $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] && !empty( $_POST['action'] ) && $_POST['action'] == 'post' ) {
	if ( ! is_user_logged_in() )
		auth_redirect();

	if( !current_user_can( 'publish_posts' ) ) {
		wp_redirect( get_bloginfo( 'url' ) . '/' );
		exit;
	}

	check_admin_referer( 'new-post' );

	$user_id		= $current_user->user_id;
	$post_content	= $_POST['posttext'];
	$tags			= $_POST['tags'];

	$char_limit		= 40;
	$post_title		= strip_tags( $post_content );
	if( strlen( $post_title ) > $char_limit ) {
		$post_title = substr( $post_title, 0, $char_limit ) . ' ... ';
	}

	$post_id = wp_insert_post( array(
		'post_author'	=> $user_id,
		'post_title'	=> $post_title,
		'post_content'	=> $post_content,
		'tags_input'	=> $tags,
		'post_status'	=> 'publish'
	) );

	wp_redirect( get_bloginfo( 'url' ) . '/' );
	exit;
}

get_header( ); 

if( current_user_can( 'publish_posts' ) ) {
	require_once dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/post-form.php';
}
?>

and adding the post-form.php to the k2-dir, the form shows up now but if I try to post it redirects me to the admin-login instead of posting (yes, I’m logged in).

Am I missing something?

I think this could be very usefull for users who wants to use a different theme but don’t want to hassle with the dashboard at all!
