    To follow up on what I said earlier, adding this statement directly to tiki.tpl:

    Copy to clipboard
    {if $user}
You are logged in as {$user} and your email is {$userinfo.email}.
{/if}
    will display the information, but won't show the email address except when the ))MyTiki(( preferences pages is being viewed. There's a conditional statement that prevents the user email address from being displayed on "public" pages even to the user, that would have to be overridden. But I didn't explore enough to find it.

    All I can suggest is to search this site. I don't know of anything like a tutorial for people that don't already know php and Smarty scripting, etc. There's a little information that I found and mirrored at the themes site, but it only discusses templates in general, not about adding functionality as you are describing.
