[web2py] Re: custom built login form

[Daniele]

I'm having a similar problem. I am making a custom form with this code in 
the view:

{{=form.custom.begin}}
    <div class="control-group {{if form.errors['email']:}}error{{pass}}">
        <label class="control-label" for="inputEmail">Email address</label>
            <div class="controls">
                {{=form.custom.widget.email}}
            </div>
    </div>
    <div class="control-group {{if form.errors['password']:}}error{{pass}}">
        <label class="control-label" for="inputPassword">Password</label>
            <div class="controls">
                {{=form.custom.widget.password}}
            </div>
    </div>
    <div class="control-group">
        <div class="controls">
            <label class="checkbox">
                <input id="auth_user_remember" class="checkbox" 
type="checkbox" value="on" name="remember"> Remember me (for 30 days)
            </label><br>
            {{=form.custom.submit}}
        </div>
    </div>
    {{=form.custom.end}}

But this does not log me in for some reason. If I use just {{=form}} here, 
it does login as it's supposed to.
My controller looks like this:

def login():
    if auth.is_logged_in():
        redirect(URL('dashboard'))
    response.subtitle = T("Login")
    return dict(form=auth.login())

I can't figure out why it's not logging me in with the custom form..
