Variable to identify the home page

[craigl]

This is in a template, so the bottom code worked. Thank you, I never paid much attention to those script definition variables before, but now they make a lot of sense.

At the top of the php file is a line like this:

define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'vbcms'); 

This allows you to use this in a plugin:

if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'vbcms') do something on content.php page only.... 

or this in a template:

<vb:if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'vbcms'">do something on content.php page only.... </vb:if>

CMS home page. For that matter the forums home page would be nice too. The idea being that I want to be able to use the VBulletin Ad system to display a banner in the global below nav bar position, but not on the home page of the site. There is no option to exclude the home page, so I will just have to make it part of the code. I could do this in javascript I suppose, but I have bumped into this page awareness variable issue enough times now that I would love to get a server side code solution to the problem.

Forum Home page, CMS home page...?

I need some sort of variable similar to $GLOBALS[forumid] that will allow me to identify the home page of the site in my templates.

I know that VB has never published a list of variables, however if someone there ever put together a short list of what is available to the $GLOBALS variable that would be a step in the right direction.
