  In smarty you wrap conditionals in between {if}..{/if} tags.
  
  You can use one of two variables we pass in to determine which page you are on:

  {if $Path == ''}...{/if}

  or

  {if $BodyID == 'vanilla_discussions_index'}...{/if}

  $Path Shows the path the user entered in the browser. $BodyID maps to the application_controller_method being called. If you don't know what to compare to you can just output the variables in default.master.tpl and browse around your applicaiton like this:

  BodyID: {$BodyID}, Path: {$Path}

  You can also see all of the data available to you with the {debug} tag. This will launch a popup so you may have to unblock it in your browser.
  
  You can find the full documentation for the {if} tag here.
