After migrating it is best to flush the browser cache for your web site before loading it again.
== Editing the Template Files ==
=== Adding new pages to the new site menus ===
Unlike the old site where you had the edit the menu on every existing page in order to add a new one, the new site has the menus defined once.
Note that because the mobile menu is separate from the full screen menu, you can make the menu entries a little more descriptive if you wish.
=== Blank Template Pages ===
The are a number of blank page templates available for download. You can find them here: [//{{SERVERNAME}}/Downloads/WebTemplatesCurrent-v1.zip Blank page templates v1]
The zip file currently contains three versions of page: 1 column plus sidebar, 2 column plus sidebar and 3 column plus sidebar. You can use whichever is most appropriate to the data you wish to display.
The templates are commented with information about where to place your headings and data etc.
You can delete the sidebar if it is not required and say you just want a single column of information.
=== Adding Data from the websitedata.json File ===
If you wish to insert data from the websitedata.json file, then all you need to do is add a <nowiki><span></nowiki> element with the "data-cmxdata" attribute set to the data item you wish to display.
For example to add the current temperature and unit to your page, you would add the following spans...
<nowiki><span data-cmxdata="temp"></span> <span data-cmxdata="tempunit"></span></nowiki>
Where "temp" and "tempunit" are the names of the values to be displayed from the websitedata.json file.
== FAQ ==
==== I want to keep the old web site look and feel, but also update to MX v3.10 ====
Well, good news (for now). The distribution zip file contains a folder named /webfiles-legacy.
