#**# I change any references to web pages within "Cumulus" folder to say within "CumulusMX" folder.
#**# Next where I want a transfer done only at end of day, I have added lines like "ExtraEOD19=1" and changed the previous "ExtraRealtime19=1" to "ExtraRealtime19=0" (I previously used realtime as that was only way in Cumulus 1 to ensure a transfer happened as close to end of day as possible, but it inefficiently also made huge numbers of unwanted transfers during the day). I had 9 such files being copied far too often, so those 9 changes will cause a huge reduction in processing load!
#**# I have a few files that are PHP scripts listed in this section written as Cumulus templates; each has a number of PHP variables being set equal to a Cumulus web tag. In some cases the web tags have date/time parameters, for these I had previously edited any ""hh" into "HH", any "mm" into "MM", any "mmm" into "MMM" and any "mmmm" into "MMMM" in line with the recommendations I had some years ago put in [[Webtags#List_of_allowed_modifiers|this table]] for Cumulus 1. That left "nn" for minutes in Cumulus 1 where I could not change it to a MX equivalent "mm" which Cumulus 1 would have taken as month. So now I created a new version of the one PHP script that used "nn", changed it in the new script to "mm" and changed the reference in the MX '''Cumulus.ini''' to the old file to refer to the new file. Subsequently I realised all my "am/pm" references had to be changed to "t" so I edited my new file again. Then another edit as I had a number of Recent History tags defined all with Cumulus 1 time specifiers having to be changed to MX equivalents. Yes quite a lot of work here, despite being able to use the Search ... Replace option in Notepad++.
#**# I also have some of my web pages generated from my own Cumulus templates. All the web tags in these that use date-time specifiers had to be edited, because I want to still use Cumulus 1 until MX is doing all I want, all these templates were given new names and I had to adjust the entries in "Cumulus.ini" to use these new names.
#**In the "'''[NOAA]'''" section I had '''MonthFileFormat="NOAAMO"MMMyyyy".txt"''' on a line, I checked at [[Webtags#List_of_allowed_modifiers|List of allowed date/time modifiers]] that 'MMM' and 'yyyy' were valid in Cumulus MX as well as in Cumulus 1, they were so no edit needed either to that line or to "YearFileFormat="NOAAYR"yyyy".txt" line.
#Next, I copied my existing Cumulus 1 alarm sounds in "\Cumulus" across to MX folder "\CumulusMX\interface\sounds" as these were refenced in my main Cumulus.ini file.
#*The file "\CumulusMX\Reports\.gitignore" is joined in the Reports folder by copying
#*Next I compare "\Cumulus\web" with "\CumulusMX\web", I notice the subfolder "images" has gone, I expected that from what I already know about MX and its use of Highcharts instead of uploading graphs (and the moon image). Also "realtimegaugesT.txt" is only in MX, I expected that knowing the gauges pages supplied with Cumulus 1 and MX are different. I mostly use my own web pages, so I don't worry about the template files. ▼

▲#* Next I see there is a "MXdiags" folder, so I dont copy across the Cumulus 1 "diags" folder. Equally I don't change anything in the new MX "webfiles" folder, but I do copy across to my web server the "cumuluscharts.js" and "logoSmall.png" files I see there that I have not seen before.
#* So left to last is the "data" folder:
#** I have copied all files from "\Cumulus\data" to "\CumulusMX\data", and will see what edits I need to make later.
