How to create a reorder button outside the client panel?

Question

How can I create a Reorder button outside the client panel (/customer/account/)?

I tried to copy and paste the code on my home page but got the error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function getStore() on a non-object in /var/www/html/app/code/core/Mage/Sales/Helper/Reorder.php on line 57

The code that I copied is this one:

<?php if ($this->helper('sales/reorder')->canReorder($_order)) : ?>
<span class="separator">|</span> <a href="<?php echo $this->getReorderUrl($_order) ?>" class="link-reorder"><?php echo $this->__('Reorder') ?></a>
<?php endif ?>

This page is only loaded if the user is logged in.

Thanks :)

Place below code in your template file

<?php
if (Mage::app()->isInstalled() && Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->isLoggedIn()) {

    $_customer=Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->getCustomer();

    $orders = Mage::getResourceModel('sales/order_collection')
        ->addFieldToSelect('*')
        ->addFieldToFilter('customer_id', $_customer->getId())
        ->addAttributeToSort('created_at', 'DESC')
        ->setPageSize(1);
    if($orders)
    {?>
        <a href="<?php echo $this->getUrl('sales/order/reorder', array('order_id' => $orders->getFirstItem()->getId())) ?>" class="link-reorder"><?php echo $this->__('Reorder') ?></a>
    <?php }
    }
} ?>
