Hi Earnie,
Thanks for the answer and that's one of the things to do, but my problem
at the moment with that path is that in hook_form_alter there doesn't
seem to be anything that I can use to identify which block it is. Am I
missing something obvious?
If there is nothing in the $form then what I think I actually want to do
is use some code to generate the form and as I have access to the $form
array to put in my own validation rule or hidden $form element or
whatever to distinguish between the different blocks. So I'm trying to
generate the user_login_block myself so I can alter the $form array but
can't get it to work. In my block code if I call
drupal_get_form('user_login_block') for the block content everything is
fine but I can't alter the form object. So I'm trying to do the same
steps as drupal_get_form, i.e. the code below and the user login block
displays but there is a bunch of stuff missing from it so it doesn't
actually submit.
Am I making this harder than I need to for what I'm trying to achieve?
Regards,
Anthony.
$form_state = array();
$form = drupal_retrieve_form('user_login_block', $form_state);
drupal_prepare_form('user_login_block', $form, $form_state);
$block['content'] = drupal_render_form('user_login_block', $form);

You don't need to start from scratch but you do need to code using
hook_form_alter to add the appropriate form elements and also a
hook_user to capture the user operations and operate on the appropriately.
