04AM 3.0 Beta: Customize Your Own TemplatePosted by RAY | 9 comments
The last few weeks at Electricurrent have been very exciting. A few weeks ago, we asked AdvancedMinistry users to complete an online survey letting us know what they liked and didn’t like about AdvancedMinistry. Last Thursday, the Task List was announced and our work began!
Well today, I am pleased to announce the first Beta of AdvancedMinistry 3.0, which enables you to customize your own template including site dimensions, number of columns, fonts, titles, colors, background images, headers and more. AM 3.0 is part of our continued effort to bring you a platform that is always advancing and improving.
To customize your template, login to your account and click on "Choose My Template". From there, choose "AM 3.0 (BETA) - My Customized Designs". Then just give your template a name and you're all set! You can save as many custom templates as you want so that you can switch between them at any time. As always, you can still go back to a predefined AdvancedMinistry template whenever you wish.
Over the next couple of weeks, we will be building on AM 3.0 Beta and adding even more features, including an online tutorial for the Customized Designs module.
Stay up-to-date on what we are working on through our real-time task list.
God bless!

Very exciting news! I know three or four organizations who have looked at AM before, but chose something else because of this one thing. I'll let them know of the change!

Exciting!
One thing we're trying to figure out...is there a way to work on building a custom template without immediately applying it to your website? Like...a "preview" function?
We'd like to keep the current pre-made template up on mypositiveedge.com for now while we experiment w/ 3.0, but it seems that in order to play around with 3.0 you have to apply it.

Nice new feature. It appears that the new templates are still based on HTML tables. Is it on the road map to move to CSS based designs?

Praise the Lord! I can't wait to get started. The timing is great. We'll be able to work on it over the next few weeks when things at Precept are quiter and relaunch for the fall Bible study season.

Hey everyone,
Thanks for the great feedback! I just wanted to answer a couple of questions that were asked here:
Ansen: Yes, we are working on that as we speak! Expect a PREVIEW function to be ready next week.
Mitchell: All of the style properties that we are using are actually CSS. Agreed - the site isn't completely CSS-based (as there are a few tables, particularly when it comes to containers). Our plan is indeed to move any structured TABLE elements over CSS-based DIV elements in the near future (where warranted).
Keep the feedback coming!

This is something we've been looking forward to for quite some time. Thanks to AM for the extra effort. I can't wait to begin using this new feature.

If we wanted 3.0, but wanted Advanced Ministry to be the ones to create it, what would be the cost? Is that even possible?

Absolutely, Billy. I will have one of our AM account managers contact you.
