The proper way to add a template to a product XML file is to put the forum in debug mode.

Go to Style Manager in the Admin CP, choose the master style, and from the drop down box choose "Add New Template"

On the next page give the template a name, choose your product from the drop down product list, and enter the code for your template.

Save.

Finally go to the Product Manager in Admin CP and "Export" the product- it will contain all your settings, templates, phrases, and anything else you can associate with the product from the Admin CP.
