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?

--------------- Added [DATE]1261501959[/DATE] at [TIME]1261501959[/TIME] ---------------

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">
