is It Possible To "batch" Update Helix Ultimate Menu Item Settings?
Cat
Hi, I'm migrating a site from Helix 3 to Helix Ultimate. Helix 3 provided a tab on each menu item called "Helix 3 Page Title". I see that Helix Ultimate has a new tab for this, called just "Page Title". Both versions of the tab include a parameter "Enable Page Title". By default this is disabled (set to "No").
On my Helix 3 site I have several hundred pages with "Enable Page Title" set to "Yes", however when I replace it with Helix Ultimate all the "Enable Page Title"s are set to "No".
Is there some way to batch update all the menu items to turn "Enable Page Title" to "yes"? Or is there some way to install the Helix Ultimate framework so that all the new "Page Title" tabs it creates are defaulted to "Yes" instead of "No"?
Help would be appreciated, I really don't want to update 300 page settings by hand as I migrate from Helix 3 to Helix Ultimate.

Sorry, there is no easy way to convert the menu data. In the xxxxx_menu table, params column stores the page title data. You can copy-paste the database. But I am not sure that all params data will be the same for both templates.
In page title options, Helix Ultimate has 1 extra field to select either H1 or H2 tag. This does not exist in Helix3. So, there might be conflict. I will not recommend copy-paste the data.
Best regards

Accepted AnswerWell that's disappointing, but i understand. Good tip about the database parameters, and I did look at trying to update them directly in the database but it's just too messy and fragile.
Could you also tell me, is it possible to change the default settings for all NEW menu items to have "Enable Page Title" set to "yes" instead of "no"?
