void determineTopicClass (array $topic_context)

| Array Elements of $topic_context | |||
| Key | Optional | Expected type | Description |

| is_locked | no | Boolean | Whether or not the topic is locked (if so, "_locked" is appended to the class) |
| is_poll | no | Boolean | Whether or not the topic contains a poll (if true, "_poll" is appended to the class, otherwise "_post" is appended) |
| is_sticky | no | Boolean | Whether or not the topic is sticky (if so, "_sticky" is appended to the class) |
| is_very_hot | no | Boolean | Whether or not the topic is "very hot" (checked first - sets the class to "veryhot") |
Notes
- Used to determine what status icon to display next to a topic in the messageindex and at the top of the page on the topic display.
- Called after the $context['topic'] array has been loaded, so it does not need to check settings
- Sets the "class" index of the $themContext array, and also sets the "extended_class" index for compatibility with older themes
