Well, good news (for now). The distribution zip file contains a folder named <code>/webfiles-legacy</code>. | |||
This folder contains a "new" version of the original web site that uses the same data-driven approach of the new template.

It that case you will have to keep the indexT.htm, gaugesT.htm etc. files from a previous release and make sure they are still in your local /web folder. | It that case you will have to keep the ''indexT.htm'', ''gaugesT.htm'', etc. files from a previous release, and make sure they are still in your local /web folder. | ||
Then you will have to add every web page template file (indexT.htm, gaugesT.htm etc) to your Cumulus MX Extra Files list; the remote filenames should all drop the 'T' - indexT.htm becomes index.htm.

The uploaded data file is created from a [[Cumulus_template_file|template]] file called [[WebsitedataT.json|/web/websitedataT.json]] using web tags. | |||
The uploaded data file is created from a template file /web/websitedataT.json using web tags. | |||
It is ''not recommended'' to edit supplied <code>/web/websitedataT.json</code> file directly, you risk losing any changes you make with every update. | |||
You can create a copy of this file, in a new folder with a slightly modified file-name, and customise the tags as you wish. | |||
Then add the path to your new template JSON file to the Cumulus [[MX_Administrative_Interface#Extra_Web_Files|Extra Files]] list, with process and FTP enabled, for the remote filename use the default '''websitedata.json''' (so that the template scripts will pick it up without alteration). | |||
You also need to change the '''Internet Settings > Interval''' file list to not process, nor upload, the standard ''websitedata.json'' file. | |||
