I have a theme called Global Industrial, http://www.drupal-themes.adodis.com/global-industrial-free-theme, and I was wondering how I could make it to where the slider only appears on the front page of my site. The slider isn't considered a block which makes it harder. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If the slider is embedded in page.tpl.php you can surround it like this

if ( $is_front ) :
... Existing slider html ...
endif;
it will only show on the front page.

This solution works for show the Slider only in front page, but:
Anybody know how to print the slider banner only in front and also in some specific nodes?

Regards and thanks,

Not a great approach but you could change

if ( $is_front ) :

to

$nids = array(2, 3, 10);  // The list of node ids (nids) you want the slider to show on
if ( $is_front || ( !empty($node) && in_array($node->nid, $nids) ) ) :

Not sure how it is done in drupal 7 but in 6 you use the page-front.tpl.php for the front page and alter the page.tpl.php so the slider is not on the rest of the site. Might have changed for 7 but doubt it has changed that much.

either way listed works. It's up to you. Using the php if statement will be slightly slower than using a dedicated page-front.tpl.php file, since it will need to be parsed on every page. But we are talking fractions of a second.
