topics/forums/subforums/replies hentries (and links)... CSS classes should not be hardcoded

[grosbouff]

Hi,
I posted yesterday this bug (​https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2759) but the problem is bigger than that.
I think that it is an absolute necessity (for creating bbPress plugins) that CSS classes for topics/forums/subforums/... entries and links are not hardcoded (eg. bbp-forum-title, bbp-topic-permalink, bbp-reply-permalink, bbp-reply-header, bbp-lead-topic, and others)
This is a real barrier for plugins creator.

Classes for those items should be set like in Wordpress, using the function post_class (​http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/post_class) or a similar one.

We should be able to filter the classes set for topics / forums / subforums / replies, ...

You can already use the following filters: bbp_get_forum_class, bbp_get_topic_class & bbp_get_reply_class

Each of them do mirror WordPress' post_class filter: ​https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/post_class

e.g.

function my_unread_class( $classes ) {
        $classes[] = 'my-unread-test-class';
        return $classes;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_forum_class','my_unread_class' );
add_filter( 'bbp_get_topic_class','my_unread_class' );
add_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_class','my_unread_class' );

Hi @netweb, the classes still are hardcoded in some places, for example in function bbp_list_forums() :

<?php
// Build this sub forums link
$output .= $r['link_before'] . '<a href="' . esc_url( $permalink ) . '" class="bbp-forum-link">' . $title . $counts . '</a>' . $show_sep . $r['link_after'];

I made a patch for this one, it is attached to this ticket.

adds a hook to filter the subforum classes in bbp_list_forums()

In 6315:

Forums: Introduce bbp_list_forums_subforum_classes filter, to allow filtering of sub-forum links.

Props gordielachance. Fixes #2760.
