Migrating From Manufacturer To Helix Ultimate
burn.hard
Hi there, We have this website http://neometals.at/ based on Manufacturer template.
We would like to use standard Helix Ultimate template and have the same look and feel as that of manufacturer template in terms of menu, off convas menu, furthermore cleaning from all other stuff deriving from Manufacturer template.
Any suggestions/instrcutions , how to go about it?

Accepted AnswerHello burn.hard
Pleaes do this migration first on test site. Follow these process:
- Install Helix Ultimate and make it default template.
- Export template settings from Manufacture template. Please follow this documentation
- Import template settings on Helix Ultimate.
This will fix most of the isssues. But you should also check templates/manufacturer/css/template.css and templates/manufacturer/js/main.js from Manufacturer template and take the changes to the similar locations of Helix Ultimate. Also check the templates/manufacturer/html folder for the overrides.
Best regards

Accepted AnswerHi there, I have replaced template css on helix from manufacturer template. The website on new helix ultimate, looks more or less similar to that of manufacturer template.
Did try replacing the main.js file also, but didn't find any major difference , hence revertered back.
BAsically, we have used manufacturer template without much customization except for few customized css which have been added onto helix template.
Only issue we find is with the off convas menu. Please check the off convas menu on http://neometals.at/ and on helix https://go4.neometals.at/ Suggest your corrections
Thanks

Accepted AnswerOn Helix 2, you must unpublish offcanvas menu module if you have any. I think CSS adjustments are needed on Helix Ultimate.
Helix3 to Helix Ultimate migration could be complex since the frameworks are different. I am not sure that export/import settings will work here. You might need to do it manually.
