It looks like your template is missing layouts completely, including default page layout. Try to import layout from default template.

Hi Admin,

I followed the Instructions, but i stuck on step 3.

1. First what you need is to install extension development tool from the link below:
work perfectly, the "Extension Developer Tools" appear in the system section

2. Build (clone) template extension from default_html5 template
work perfectly, i go to extensions folder and the new Extension is created

3. Generate Layout from default_html5 template
after i click generate button on step 2, the page redirect to "All Project" tab, but i see nothing there. according to the Illustration image, there should be the new project i've generate before. i checked on the "Extensions > All Extensions" the new template extension is there but didn't appear on All Project in the Developer Tools list.

am i missing something ? i'm using V1.1.9

thanks before :)

I got it loaded a-ok, but no option to open project to select default_html5 and click "Save layout XML" button after the new template was generated.

I'm using AbanteCart version 1.2.0 as of the moment and I've struggled finding that button/link to generate layout.xml. For those who come here seeking help and probably still using the Extension Developer Tools v.1.0 which I believe isn't optimized for the latest version then this is for you.

If you're using Google Chrome. Open DevTools using F12 keyboard. Inspect element beside the newly created project. This gets you closer to the source and see the link. Just expand until you see the link. See attachment for_version_1.2.0.png.

NOTE: Important not to install the newly created project/extension yet to properly create the layout.xml.

To generate, click on Others tab and click blank button with title "Save Layout XML". See attachment save_layout.png.

Hope that helps.

Hey, instead of uploading the entire zipped folder you just downloaded, I unzipped the folder contents to my computer and used an FTP client, Filezilla, to bring my files over.  You will need to go through the folders until you find the extensions folder in your download and match it with the extensions folder in your backend files.  Then, drop the developer_tools folder into there (extensions.)  Does this make sense?  Basically, don't upload the zipped folder in Extensions within your Admin.  Hope this helps! ~ Kelly

I am a little stuck.  I followed all the directions, everything went smoothly, but when I switch to the new template in Settings/ Appearance, my pages are blank.  But, if I view page source, there is code there.  I am trying to save this as a template before I upgrade to the newest version of Abantecart.  Anybody have any ideas?  I looked in the extensions folder and the template is there, along with layout.xml.  Not sure what is wrong.  ~ Kelly

looks like you tried to use wrong version of devtools.
See https://github.com/abantecart/developer_tools_extension for needed.
Just take folder
your_abantecart_major_version/code/extensions/developer_tools and move into your extensions directory
