=Uploading data to a web server outside MX=
<big>Please note this Wiki page applies to releases 3.10.1 onwards.</big> <small>NOTE: Earlier MX releases used [[Cumulus template file|HTML template files]] that created web pages locally for uploading to a web server.</small>
This Wiki category page is the entry point to the documentation describing how the JSON format is used in [[New_Default_Web_Site_Information|optional web site functionality]] for updating data to a web server outside Cumulus MX.
The [[Webfiles folder|webfiles sub-folder]] contains the following web pages that are uploaded just once to your web server (obviously if they get changed in a new release, then the new files are uploaded to replace the old ones as another one-off operation).
*Each of these web pages depends on a number of other files (in '''lib''', ''js'', and '''css''' sub-folders).
*they also depend on one or more files being uploaded to supply data:

=Uploading data to a web server=


This category page is the entry point for documentation of how the JSON format is used for the optional MX functionality of updating data to a web server outside Cumulus.


Pages listed below apply to [[New_Default_Web_Site_Information|web site functionality in releases 3.10.1 onwards]]. Earlier MX releases used [[Cumulus template file|HTML template files]] that created web pages locally for uploading to a web server.

MX stores all the '''xxxx.json''' files, linked from this Wiki page, in the [[Web folder|'''web''' sub-folder]] of your MX installation.  
MX stores all the '''xxxx.json''' files, linked from this Wiki page, in the [[Web folder|'''web''' sub-folder]] of your MX installation.  
There is one file [[WebsitedataT.json|websitedataT.json]] that is part of MX release distributions from 3.10.1 onwards (3.10.0 was withdrawn) as a [[Cumulus template file]]. For this case, both the template (containing the tags as described in the linked page) '''websitedataT.json''', and the file for uploading (containing data) '''websitedata.json''' can be found in the '''web''' sub-folder.
The templates for the other files are part of the MX internal code, so do not appear in the folder. Determine which files are generated (and appear in the '''web''' sub-folder), what data is available for your web server, and whether MX uploads them, by selections in [[MX_Administrative_Interface#Internet_Settings|1) Standard file settings, 2) Graph file settings, and 3) Daily graph file settings]].


Please note if you are using an older release some files may not be available, and MX development may add files that need to be documented here.
