I was reading another thread,Strategy, Function for WP 3.1 Post Formats in Thematic, but thought support questions would be better suited to a new topic.

I've been testing post formats in a Thematic child theme and added this to functions.php:
```
// Enable a few post formats
add_theme_support( 'post-formats', array( 'gallery', 'image', 'link') );

// Post formats function
function wpfolio_post_formats() {

    if ( has_post_format( 'gallery' )) {
     echo '<div class="gallery-format">';
        echo the_content();
     echo '</div>';
    } else if ( has_post_format( 'image' )) {
     echo '<div class="image-format">';
        echo the_content();
     echo '</div>';
    } else if ( has_post_format( 'link' )) {
     echo '<div class="link-format">';
        echo the_content();
     echo '</div>';
    }
    ...
    else {
        echo the_content();
    }
}

add_action('thematic_post', 'wpfolio_post_formats');
```
This works but is pretty limited - it seems I can't style the post header and footer without adding more functions and filters with their own sets of conditions.

With reference to this post I've tried to use the .format-image classes instead by adding them to the stylesheet and replacing my above classes with this:
echo '<div id="post-<?php post_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>';

No luck - the style disappears completely. Any ideas? How have you used post formats in Thematic?

I think I narrowed this down to an issue with the post class. I did some echoing and saw that the post format selector (.format-image{}, etc.) appears as it should in post_class() but is not included in thematic_post_class(). I tried removing thematic_post_class() with childtheme_override_post_class() which seemed to work - echoing thematic_post_class() no longer returns anything. Here is the code:

// remove thematic_post_class to include post format selector in post class
function childtheme_override_post_class() {
     remove_action('thematic_post_class','thematic_access', 9);
}
add_action('init', 'childtheme_override_post_class');

// echo post classes for format testing
function wpfolio_post_formats() {

     global $post;
     $post_id = $post->ID;

     $format = get_post_format( $post_id );

          if ( has_post_format( 'gallery' )) {
               echo '<h3>';
               echo $format . '<hr />';
               echo '<strong>thematic_post_class: </strong>';
               echo thematic_post_class();
               echo '<hr /> <strong>post_class: </strong>';
               echo post_class();
               echo '</h3>';
               echo the_content();
          } else if ( has_post_format( 'image' )) { ...
}

add_action('thematic_post', 'wpfolio_post_formats');

Then I replaced the conditional's content with something like this to see if the styles would work:

if ( has_post_format( 'video' )) {
     echo '<div id="<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class() ?>';
     echo the_content();
     echo '</div>';
} else if { ...

Nothing happens. I'm thinking thematic_post() may not be the right hook, but it did work with the code from my first post. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

OK, figured this out. See this thread about it: http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/how-to-add-post-format-classes-to-thematics-body-classes#post-20728
