In the tbody section of application.html.erb I wanted to render for the current_user two sidebars if he is on the home page and just one sidebar for every other page.
<body>
<% if current_user.present? %>
<% if 'pages/home.html.erb' %> # Not Working As a Conditional
<div class="container">
<div class="col-md-3">
<%= render 'layouts/valuations' %>
</div>
<div class="col-md-6">
<% flash.each do |name, msg| %>
<%= content_tag(:div, msg, class: "alert alert-info") %>
<% end %>
<div id="modal-holder"></div>
<%= yield %>
</div>
<div class="col-md-3">
<%= render 'layouts/sidebar' %>
</div>
</div>
<% else %>
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="container">
<div class="col-md-9">
<% flash.each do |name, msg| %>
<%= content_tag(:div, msg, class: "alert alert-info") %>
<% end %>
<div id="modal-holder"></div>
<%= yield %>
</div>
<div class="col-md-3">
<%= render 'layouts/sidebar' %>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<% end %>
<% else %>
<div class="container">
<% flash.each do |name, msg| %>
<%= content_tag(:div, msg, class: "alert alert-info") %>
<% end %>
</div>
<%= yield %>
<% end %>
</body>

Firstly, you're looking for current_page?:
<% if current_page?(controller: "pages", action: "home") %>
...
<% end %>
This is notoriously rickety though (what happens if you change your pages controller?).
What you'll be better doing is what beartech suggested, setting a variable which you can ping in your layout:
#app/controllers/pages_controller.rb
class PagesController < ApplicationController
def home
@home = true
end
end
#app/views/layouts/application.html.erb
<if @home %>
...
<% end %>
I would match this with the use of partials:
#app/views/layouts/application.html.erb
<%= render "shared/sidebar" if @home %>
<%= render "shared/flash" %>
This gives you the ability to split your code into more manageable chunks. We do it here:

In your :index action for your home page you can set a variable like:
def index
@home_page = true
...
And then you can just do something like:
<body>
<% if current_user.present? %>
<% if @home_page %>
<div class="container">
<div class="col-md-3">
<%= render 'layouts/valuations' %>
</div>
