mod_pagespeed, mentioned in the known issues, is not a factor. Just double-checked with my hosting service.

Thank you so much radgeek!

I haven’t tested it yet, but this looks all pretty straightforward and exactly what I need. All the clues I needed to get started.

It should even be possible to replace JOE DOKES with some kind of variable for the owner of the blog/site where the syndicated post appears. If I can find enough time over the holidays to figure that out I’ll post my solutions here.

jquery-popover.js adds CSS positioning to the popover with this bit of code:

left: calc.x1,
top: calc.y1,

In WP 3.5 this is not added to the div, but when I replace calc.x1 and calc.y1 with values like ‘300px’, it is added.

So the problem is before those values are added; WP 3.5 is somehow messing up how calc.x1 and calc.y1 are calculated.

Below follows more relevant preceding code. How does WP 3.5 interfere with that? Can anyone spot it? Is there anything I could just try to rename?

The outerWidth() stuff looks like a likely culprit?

var popovers = [];
	var _ = {
		calc_position: function(popover, position) {
			var data = popover.popover("getData");
			var options = data.options;
			var $anchor = options.anchor ? $(options.anchor) : popover;
			var el = data.popover;

			var coordinates = $anchor.offset();
			var y1, x1;

			if(position == 'top') {
				y1 = coordinates.top - el.outerHeight();
				x1 = coordinates.left - el.outerWidth() / 2 + $anchor.outerWidth() / 2;
			} else if(position == 'right') {
				y1 = coordinates.top + $anchor.outerHeight() / 2 - el.outerHeight() / 2;
				x1 = coordinates.left	+ $anchor.outerWidth();
			} else if(position == 'left') {
				y1 = coordinates.top + $anchor.outerHeight() / 2 - el.outerHeight() / 2;
				x1 = coordinates.left	- el.outerWidth();
			} else {
				//bottom
				y1 = coordinates.top + $anchor.outerHeight();
				x1 = coordinates.left - el.outerWidth() / 2 + $anchor.outerWidth() / 2;
			}

			x2 = x1 + el.outerWidth();
			y2 = y1 + el.outerHeight();
			ret = {
				x1: x1,
				x2: x2,
				y1: y1,
				y2: y2
			};

			return ret;
		},

...
reposition: function() {
			return this.each(function() {
				var $this = $(this);
				var data = $this.popover('getData');

				if(data) {
					var popover = data.popover;
					var options = data.options;
					var $anchor = options.anchor ? $(options.anchor) : $this;
					var coordinates = $anchor.offset();

					var position = options.position;
					if(!(position == 'top' || position == 'right' || position == 'left' || position == 'auto'))
						position = 'bottom';
					var calc;

					if(position == 'auto') {
						var positions = ["bottom", "left", "top", "right"];
						var scrollTop = $(window).scrollTop();
						var scrollLeft = $(window).scrollLeft();
						var windowHeight = $(window).outerHeight();
						var windowWidth = $(window).outerWidth();

						$.each(positions, function(i, pos) {
							calc = _.calc_position($this, pos);

							var x1 = calc.x1 - scrollLeft;
							var x2 = calc.x2 - scrollLeft + options.horizontalOffset;
							var y1 = calc.y1 - scrollTop;
							var y2 = calc.y2 - scrollTop + options.verticalOffset;

							if(x1 < 0 || x2 < 0 || y1 < 0 || y2 < 0)
								//popover is left off of the screen or above it
								return true; //continue

							if(y2 > windowHeight)
								//popover is under the window viewport
								return true; //continue

							if(x2 > windowWidth)
								//popover is right off of the screen
								return true; //continue

							position = pos;
							return false;
						});

						if(position == 'auto')
							//position is still auto
							return;
					}

					calc = _.calc_position($this, position);
					var top = calc.top;
					var left = calc.left;
					_.pop_position_class(popover, position);

@andrew Bartel, I never said it was easy. I am not a PHP/jQuery developer, but am dragged into it because everything in WordPress works backwards. There have been promising attempts like Habari. They don’t get anywhere because of WP’s market dominance.

For example, does WordPress finally have standard registration with just full real name, first name + last name, and email address, like any serious web application since about 2005? Or does everything still revolve around meaningless usernames (“Dear User…”)?

Thanks lysofttech. Where can I change those author settings? Somewhere in FeedWordpress? Or in WordPress?

If it is a setting per feed or even per post it is still no good. Would there be a way to set this by default with a filter/function in the theme’s function.php?

What mechanism is ‘creating a new author’? I want to disable that entirely. There should only be registered users/members on the system, no authors created by the system.

Turned out there was a setting in wp-admin set to not showing avatars.

I have three multisite installations that use the same theme.

In one new users get the username as default display_name, but the other do get Firstname Lastname.

So can you set a default display_name format in wp-admin somewhere?

Thanks for your response. Here is more context:

$user_id = $curauth->ID;
$title = $curauth->display_name;
$domain = network_home_url();
$path = $curauth->user_login;
$key = 'primary_blog';
$single = true;
$primary_blog = get_user_meta( $user_id, $key, $single);

if ($primary_blog == "") {
wpmu_create_blog($domain, $path, $title, $user_id);
} else if (user_can_for_blog($user_id, $primary_blog, edit_posts )) {
echo '<p>Member has site</p>';
}

I know the general if else structure, but examples always use echo or ‘some code to execute’. I can’t find any examples with functions with variables.

I have tried ‘return wpmu_create_blog(…’ and other variations. Nothing works. And maybe this is a WP specific thing?
