You can do at least three ways:

1. make the decision in the controller and render one of two views with

render :template => ''path_to/template''

2. make the decision in a template and render one of two partials

<% if @event.starttime < Time.now %>
<%= render :partial => ''past_event'' %>
<% else %>
<%= render :partial => ''future_event'' %>
<% end %>

3. As you said, make the decision in the template and put all
rendering in the one file.

Personally, I''d probably go with #2.

Peace,
Phillip
