Post Formats

[cdharrison]

The latest updates added support for WordPress Post Formats. I made a change to simple_post_class to add a class to help target these alternate formats... Previous, "hentry" is the only class we forced. Now if it's a standard post format, it stays "hentry". Otherwise, it'll get a class such as "hentry post-aside" where 'post' will change depending on the Post Type, and 'aside' would reflect whatever the Post Format is set to.

I hate adding extra classes given our goals with this theme, but thought in this case these would help with stylizing the alternate post formats...

For or against this change? Prefer we do it differently? Let me know.

These are the different types of Post Formats that are supported: 'aside', 'gallery', 'link', 'image', 'quote', 'status', 'video', 'audio', 'chat'

Let me think about this a bit. I’m not opposed to the implementation, but in my mind, it’s not clean enough. That said, I have no idea how else we would handle styling of the different post formats. Or maybe that’s the point of Tersus … we simply don’t handle the styling.

Bump. I did recently add something to Advanced Layout that would give asides a slightly different appearance (e.g. not displaying post meta). Let me know what you think about the change. I can roll it back if needed.

It gives us a good start on tinkering with this. Personally, I don’t use post formats at all … but that my certainly change down the road. It‘s a powerful feature that the theme should definitely support.

At some point, I’d like to revisit at the post type class names, as they could maybe benefit from some tidying up.
