Namespace class names

[rogercoathup]

Class names (particularly those to which BP is attaching JS functions to generate UI) should be name spaced.
Generic class names like 'confirm' are getting UI elements attached to them in core BP code.

This is wrong! Front end developers should be able to use generic classnames without BP introducing unexpected UI elements.

Details of one example:

BP automatically adds a dialog box confirmation to any <a> tag to which the class 'confirm' is added. This is done in bp-core/bp-corecssjs.php -- function: bp_core_confirmation_js()

To fix this - generic classnames that BP is attaching UI elements to (particularly via core javascripts) should be namespaced.

i.e. use classnames such as 'bp-confirm' instead of 'confirm'

We won't be revising BP-Default/Legacy's javascript, but any new stuff we write, we will.

Arguing against BuddyPress being vague so that others can be vague doesn't make a great case. I agree overall that we should be namespacing things, and that we'll take better care with this in the future.

Since this is an ongoing thing, closing as worksforme.
