#**# I change any references to any web pages within "Cumulus" folder to say within "CumulusMX" folder. The approach I am taking is to continue to use my customised web pages, but I am editing the template files as required to cope with differences in the output parameters of [[Webtags#Output_.28format_modifier.29_parameters_for_times_and_dates|MX web tags]].
#**# 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 template file was processed so it held correct values 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 know I could do this later using the MX interface, but it makes sense to me to do it as I am working through the file.''
#**# 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 that I had some years ago typed into [[Webtags#List_of_allowed_modifiers|this table]] for Cumulus 1. That left "nn" for minutes in Cumulus 1 where I could notonly change it to a MX equivalent "mm" becausein those cases where Cumulus 1 would have not taken it as month, I was too lazy to check every individual cases (I prefer to use global edits across all my files). So now I created a new version of my oneeach PHP script that used "nn", changed it in theeach new script to "mm" and changed theeach reference in the MX '''Cumulus.ini''' to the old filefiles to refer to the new filefiles. Subsequently I realised all my "am/pm" references had to be changed to "ttt" so I edited my new filefiles again.

Yes quite a lot of work here, despite being able to use the Search ... Replace option in Notepad++. As a result I have done some edits to [[Webtags#List_of_allowed_modifiers|this table]] hopefully making life simpler for the next person faced with this.
#**# 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.
