Use different postbit template depending on prefix

[tpearl5]

I would like to use a different postbit template for the first post only depending on prefix. In my case, I have news that I would like to display differently in the first post. All news threads use the prefix 'news'.

Is there a way I could do this with a conditional in postbit?

I actually found a slightly simpler solution. I added an alternate layout to the postbit and can switch between the two using this conditional:
<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'showthread' AND $post[postid] == $GLOBALS['qrfirstpostid'] AND $thread['prefixid'] == news">

So does it work? Screenshot?

It's working great!

Here's an example of a news thread: http://cellphoneforums.net/att/t306319-t-getting-raw-end-deal-commercials.html

Here's a regular thread: http://cellphoneforums.net/lg-dare/t290253-bitpim-cant-get-ringtones-my-dare.html

The template used in the news threads is a modified version of what is available for the article forum hack, which I also use here: http://cellphoneforums.net/cell-phone-reviews/

Hi! could you give an example of what your postbit looks like right now?
having some problems integrating the alternative postbit..

There's links above that illustrate news and regular postbits

Hi,

Thank you for your fast reply.
Indeed there is, but that does not really help me with the postbit thing.
I don't need your exact postbit codings, just wondering about the if /else statement inside the postbit template.

Understand you don't feel like sharing your whole postbit :)

Oh okay, I see what you mean...

Here's roughly how I have it laid out:

<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'showthread' AND $post[postid] == $GLOBALS['qrfirstpostid'] AND $thread['prefixid'] == news">

MODIFIED POSTBIT

<else />

EXISTING POSTBIT

</if>


'news' is the id of my news prefix. This will have to be changed depending on what your ID is.
