How to use templates I made.

[Scois0n]

I know, yet another theme help thread
I made a template set to go with my theme on MyBB ACP. When I exported the theme none of the template code was in the XML file... Instead it was just

<templates>
</templates>

I tried adding in the code manually like:

<templates>
<template name="footer" version="1600><! [CDATA[<br />
TEMPLATE CODE
</template>
</templates>

I have seen other themes with similar code. Here is what I put in exactly:

 <templates>
	<template name="footer" version="1600"><![CDATA[<br />
	<br />
			<div class="bottommenu">
				<div class="float_right">{$lang_select}</div>
				<div>
					<span class="smalltext"><a href="{$mybb->settings['contactlink']}">{$lang->bottomlinks_contactus}</a> | <a href="{$mybb->settings['homeurl']}">{$mybb->settings['homename']}</a> | <a href="#top">{$lang->bottomlinks_returntop}</a> | <a href="#content">{$lang->bottomlinks_returncontent}</a> | <a href="<archive_url>">{$lang->bottomlinks_litemode}</a> | <a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/misc.php?action=syndication">{$lang->bottomlinks_syndication}</a></span>
				</div>
			</div>
			</div>
		<hr class="hidden" />
			<div id="copyright">
				<div id="debug"><debugstuff></div>

{$auto_dst_detection}
		</div>
		</div>
	</template>
	</templates>

(I removed my wedsite from the code)
Along with all the other code. Am i doing something wrong? This is very slightly edited footer and I wouldn't have thought I could mess up the code...

(I'm planning on editing the templates more later, after I make sure all the images and stuff works)

Thanks ~

Your code is missing the ending ]]

It should be something like this;

<template name="footer" version="1606">
<![CDATA[TEMPLATE CODE]]>
</template>

Notice the ending ]]>
