#**I had downloaded the 8.04 versions from [https://www.highcharts.com/blog/download/ the Highstock link] and saved that on my partition I just use for software downloads. So I copied the files and folders from that download to "\CumulusMX\interface\lib\highstock\js" to replace the ones I moved out. So now (in March 2020) my admin interface is also using Highstock version 8.04 released 10 March 2020 to match the version I use with my own web pages on my web server. | #**I had downloaded the 8.04 versions from [https://www.highcharts.com/blog/download/ the Highstock link] and saved that on my partition I just use for software downloads.

#The MX package also contains jQuery, again within both the interface folder "'''\CumulusMX\interface\lib\jquery'''" and the webfiles folder '''T:\CumulusMX\webfiles\lib\jquery'''. | #The MX package also contains jQuery, again within both the interface folder "'''\CumulusMX\interface\lib\jquery'''" and the webfiles folder '''T:\CumulusMX\webfiles\lib\jquery'''. I was using version 3.5.0 on my web server, it is used by several of my existing web pages and I was worried a problem might result from the MX package including an old jQuery version 1.9.1, that is 2014 vintage and very obsolete. | ||
#* As the admin '''interface''' is an integrated set of files, I had no guarantee that no guarantee that the MX admin interface (the screens showing settings and the screens showing weather information) will work fully with latest jQuery version so I decided '''I would not update the admin interface'''. | |||

#* | #*If you need the latest jQuery version you can download from '''https://jquery.com/download/'''. You will find it is called '''jquery-3.5.0.min.js''' (when you read this, it might be an even later version). If you download that, you need to rename that new jQuery to "jquery-latest.min.js" to match the name that MX uses. It is easier to edit the name of the file that you download, than to try to work out which MX files use jQuery and edit the name in all those each time there is a new jQuery release. | ||
#**With my own web pages, the only ones that use jQuery are those generated from Cumulus templates using web tags, and I include "jQuery" in the name of all those templates to remind me which files to edit (and I use a batch editor that edits all the files with one instruction) when I want them to use a new jQuery version. | #**With my own web pages, the only ones that use jQuery are those generated from Cumulus templates using web tags, and I include "jQuery" in the name of all those templates to remind me which files to edit (and I use a batch editor that edits all the files with one instruction) when I want them to use a new jQuery version. | ||
