There are several things wrong with the above.
You have copied the wrong code from options.py. That code processes the
reminder button from the logged-in options page (I'm not sure why
there is a reminder there, but the list admin could use it to send a
reminder to the user). You want the code that follows the comment
# Are we processing a password reminder from the login screen?
but if you copy it verbatim as you did with the other, you'll have the
problem that it calls the function loginpage() just as the above calls
options_page() and those functions are local to the options.py module
and undefined in private.py. You don't want to call either of those.
The final problem is you've inserted your code in the wrong place. You
put it where it is only reached if the user is already authenticated
or provided a valid authentication.
>What else can we do about it?
Find someone who knows some Python to do this for you.
You can try the insert in the attached reminder.txt file, but note that
this is untested and may cause problems.
