XF 2.2 Manually add the widget to any template

[FoxSecrets]

I created an widget but I can just see it when I set the position in Appearance > Widgets.

I tried inserting the widgetpos tag directly but didn't work:

<xf:widgetpos id="my_widget" key="my_widget" />

How can I manually add the widget to any template, how to enable it?

I use this code and it works...

<xf:widget key="widgetkey" />

Just put that wherever you want the widget to appear, in whatever template. If you want to specify, say the sidebar, it looks like this:

<xf:widget key="forum_overview_forum_statistics" position="sidebar"/>

I tried that but didn't work for me. It also don't let me insert without the 'id', how did you get it?
Don't you activate anything?

<xf:widget key="widgetkey" id="widgetid" />

Yes, did work! I was using a wrong tag (widgetpos instead of widget). Sorry, my bad!
Thanks @ekool
