Newbie here. Installed everything - works great, but how do I import my entire website of roughly 100 pages?
I get copying them in to assets/import and running the Import HTML tool, but then they are all in wrong spot with busted links to graphics, etc. The existing site is working - the database just doesn’t know about it.
I’m running IIS and have historically used FrontPage to edit/manage. Thanks.
wow - no one is replying to you ?
I’d also like to know how to import my website fully so i can play with it here at modx!
i have used site sucker to copy my old website and put it in "assets" but i’m unsure the best way to start to edit it now ... ?
it just sits at the top of all the other pages and only appears as another tab when i publish it.
do i have to make sure it’s set as HTML viewable offline set of pages? or just import an index.html and a css file?

It might make sense to do a search and replace operation on the links in the files in FrontPage before moving and importing them. Convert all the links to MODx format using base_url for the URL links and base_path for the file links. I haven’t done it for a while, but off the top of my head, the format is something like this:
URL links: [(base_url)]images/filename.jpg
FILE links: [(base_path)]assets/something/filenename.txt
