But this user isn't even supposed to access manage_workspace - I just need
it to access a PTK join_form so it can become a member.  

I tried making loginForm on the top level display a dtml method
customLoginForm (which contains the actual form), and then override it in
the PTK folder, but it doesn't - it displays the one on the top level.  And
I can't use the same loginForm in the whole site, because I may have  few
portals, and I need the login form to say "if you are not a member you can
join here".

Any ideas?
