Add JavaScript to Drupal 6 for the front page only
This cropped up in the Drupal forums today, again, so I dug this bit of code out since I was messing about with recently. If you want to load a .js file only for the homepage there’s a couple of ways of doing it.
First in template.php you can simply add the following - which assumes you have saved the .js file in your theme folder. Adjust the path to suit (for example /js/myscript.js).
if (drupal_is_front_page()) {
drupal_add_js(drupal_get_path('theme', 'mytheme').'/myscript.js', 'theme');
}This is nice since you can add a few more parameters to it - see the full story here http://api.drupal.org/api/function/drupal_add_js
The other more brutal way is to conditionally load the script directly in the head of page.tpl.php, such as:
<?php if ($is_front): ?>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/sites/all/themes/mytheme/myscript.js"></script>
<?php endif; ?>I, like a few others, made the immediate assumption that you could conditionally load a JavaScipt file using vars in a preprocessor function, but I am yet to get this to work. If you know of a way, I’d love to know.

#1 Thanks for this to the point solution
thanks, this was a col solution :)
#2 extensions....
Nice, and simple… I’m someone who know very little in php, but how would you add an “if” for multiple pages? e.g. node/1, node/2 =
<?phpif ($is_node/1 node/2):
?>
