Configuring About Me

 

Quick Start

Want to let congregants indicate which attributes describe them best? See the Quick Start Guide to get the About Me Widget up and running.

If the shared script hasn't been added to your website, add it to your desired webpage. Be sure to replace "{your platform domain}" in the following code with your church's base MP URL. 

<script id="MPWidgets" src="https://{your platform domain}/widgets/dist/MPWidgets.js"></script>

Create a webpage on your website that will display your About Me Widget or identify the page on your website where it will be displayed.

Add the About Me Widget to your church website by placing this snippet of code in the body of your chosen webpage, modifying the required attributes discussed below.

<mpp-about-me>
</mpp-about-me>
Tip: While not mandatory, this snippet would typically be placed inside a <div> element with the class "container."

Widget Configuration

    Customization

    Widgets let you do YOUR church YOUR way, so change those button colors and labels!

    CSS: Every Widget accepts the Custom CSS attribute. Include it before the opening Widget tag is closed to customize your Widgets.

    Attribute Types: Want to control which Attributes show up in the Widget? You can do that! Go to Lookup Values > Attribute Types, open the Attribute Type record you want to display, and set Available Online to "Yes".

    Attributes: All Attributes associated with an Attribute Type (where Available Online is set to "Yes") will display in the Widget, alphabetically under its Attribute Type heading.
