If you app is called "yourapp" and you put this file in
applications/yourapp/views/default/kml.html
you also need to edit
applications/yourapp/controllers/default.py
and add an action
def kml():
placemarks=db(...).select(....) ## fill the ...
return dict(placemarks=placemarks)
then you visit
http://127.0.0.1:8000/yourapp/default/kml
this calls the action, the action calls the view file.
Hope this helps. I am not sure I understood the question.
