there’s a method working for me.
The SFC Plugin comes with a widgetized Connect. Just create a dynamic sidebar in the functions.php and put the code of the sidebar into your login-template.
If the wp_head and wp_footer is included into your template the Login should work 😉
How about using the Widget Plugin?
Just create a new Sidebar in the functions.php of your theme and put that into your custom template.
Should work with wp_head and wp_footer included in that template.
Actually that worked for me 😉
