Displaying authors email even if not logged in

Code changes:
To make the email property (from Portal_Memberdata) visible you need to go
to the filesystem in the plone instance and edit the following file:
    CMFPlone/MembershipTool.py
Find the function:
    def getMemberInfo
and in the section where the memberinfo array is created add another line
(not at the bottom of the entries) for the email line like:
    'email'       : member.getProperty('email'),

You now need to create a template that displays the information.
In the ZMI go to:
    portal_skins/custom
and add a page template from the right hand dropdown.
Give it the name 'authorInfoTest' and click 'Add and Edit'
Now delete the current content and copy the template from below:

<html metal:use-macro="here/main_template/macros/master">
  <head>
    <title tal:content="template/title">The title</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    
<metal:main fill-slot="content">
  <tal:main-macro metal:define-macro="main"
   tal:define="author python:request.get('author', None);
               authorinfo python: mtool.getMemberInfo(author); ">

            <!-- Author information -->
            <h1 class="documentFirstHeading" tal:condition="authorinfo/fullname" tal:content="authorinfo/fullname">
                Author name
            </h1>

            <h1 class="documentFirstHeading" tal:content="authorinfo/email">
                Author email
            </h1>

            <div class="documentDescription" tal:content="authorinfo/description">
                Author description.
            </div>

  </tal:main-macro>
</metal:main>

  </body>
</html>



Test:
To test the page simply go to your plone website and add on the
name of the template along with the userID
e.g,
    http://mysite/authorInfoTest?author=webmaster

and you will see the email address of that user
