Determining thread status?

[darnoldy]

Folks-

In a threadbit template, am trying to take three separate actions when a thread : is new, has been posted in by the user, or is locked. I have come up with the following conditionals:

PHP Code:

<if condition="in_array($thread[statusicon], array('_dot_hot_lock_new','_dot_hot_lock','_dot_hot_new','_dot_hot','_dot_lock_new','_dot_lock','_dot_new','_dot'))"></if>

<if condition="in_array($thread[statusicon], array('_dot_hot_lock_new','_dot_hot_new','_dot_lock_new','_dot_new','_hot_lock_new','_hot_new','_lock_new','_moved_new','_new'))"></if>

<if condition="in_array($thread[statusicon], array('_dot_hot_lock_new','_dot_lock_new','_hot_lock_new','_lock_new','_dot_hot_lock','_dot_lock','_hot_lock','_lock'))"></if> 


They should work, but they feel very inelegant... is there a better way?

Thanks!
