I need to do the same thing and have not found a solution. I would love to know if someone has a script that works.
As for Richard's script and Massimo's reply, I have the following questions: 1. Will Richard's script work if the value of "_formkey" is extracted from the login page? 2. What does Massimo mean by "If you accept(request.vars, formname=None)"? Is it a setting that I can add in a specific file? Many thanks in advance.
