I did make a hard coded change into the core of WordPress, but obviously that won’t retain as newer versions come up.

inside /wp-admin/includes/meta-boxes.php, below this function:

function post_author_meta_box($post) { }

I changed

<?php
	wp_dropdown_users( array(
		'who' => 'authors',
		'name' => 'post_author_override',
		'selected' => empty($post->ID) ? $user_ID : $post->post_author,
		'include_selected' => true
	) );
}

to

<?php
	wp_dropdown_users( array(
		'who' => 'authors',
		'name' => 'post_author_override',
		'selected' => empty($post->ID) ? $user_ID : $post->post_author,
		'show' => 'user_login',
		'include_selected' => true
	) );
}

Can anyone think of a way to define this outside of the core, perhaps in functions.php?

Any status on this? I need to add a survey to a client’s WordPress installation, but can’t until we can capture the results.
