I suggest you run through some tutorials on rails and then I think the question, and many others, will likely be answered. railstutorial.org is good, and free to use online. http://railsforzombies.org/ looks like it might be fun though I have not tried it in detail. Make sure that you are using Rails 3 and that the tutorial is for Rails 3. Also have a look at the Rails Guides. To answer your question, in the view erb test the boolean and display or not as appropriate.
