I am sure this is likely down to something I am not doing correctly.
I have tried to follow the docs to the letter. So the following is a complete breakdown of what I have done
I followed the link to github and cloned the package
I then unzipped this on my local machine
Inside this folder I found the following files..............
developer_tools_extension-master inside this folder was the following folders
V1.0
V2.1
V1.3beta
I couldnt find any mention of the version to use in the docs, so I made the assumption that as i had used the latest stable version, then I would choose the V1.2 File
As i have no way to zip files as gzip.tar and the extension loader would not take a zip file, (i zipped up the correct files inside this folder, and not just the complete 1.2 folder).
So i used FTP
inside the folder 1.2, I navigated to the Developer_tools folder and uploaded that and its subfolders.
I then set all permission of the correct folders to 777.
I am unsure if I should have actually uploaded the entire structure including all the other folders inside the V1.2 folder, the docs seem to suggest you navigate to the extensions folder and upload the developers_tools folder and its contents.
Having done all that, if I then goto the design/templates part in the admin panel and click on the clone button, i just get taken back to the doc links, nowhere can i find anyway to clone the default template.
I only wish to clone the files so I can alter the look and not loose it when upgrading, at some point in the future I may also try and alter a few things, i dont want to do this without a back up template, incse i get myself into a situation.
So far on the main template I have had no issue changes a few small CSS things
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I also have a ftp set up if someone wants to double check what I have uploaded and done.
Thanks in advance.
ps
I also tried running the install.php file directly via the browser, but just got a file not found, i am under https:// though
