I've been searching the forums for hours now but i couldn't find any useful information to this subject.
I as well wish to put a simple link on my main menu to a login form, so far no luck. Best option could be to create the menu as virtuemart component and set the page to account.index but it shows an ugly error message on top of the page (you must be registered to access this module)... at least it shows the login form though.
Other alternatives i found are:
1 = set the menu item to the joomla login page, but if the user is not registered and/or tries to register then the user is not registered to VM so he will get to register again when placing an order.
2 = set the menu item to a virtuemart component and use shop.registration as default page, this should be THE option but in this case it shows the login form AND the registration fields for new users - and i don't want that.
Besides, i am having an issue here: while i see on other sites that the page shows login AND registration form on my shop it shows only the registration form.. which is useless to my intended use

What we are all looking for is a login form, exactly like the joomla login form, that only shows the username, password fields and links to registration/username and password recovery. (and probably the ability to customize this login page appearance with an image of choice and/or text)
Thanks anyone for any answer I (we) might get.
In the meanwhile i'll keep searching the forum to see if the question has been answered already (but so far i've had no luck searching)
PS: i've read the manual but sadly there's nothing about frontpage login configuration settings so please don't tell me RTFM
