Custom Widgets Installation Guide


Unique widgets that go beyond the standard widgets that ship with MinistryPlatform. Present your data the way you want.


Note: Custom Widgets available on this site are intended to illustrate how custom widgets can be developed. They do not represent official MinistryPlatform components and are provided AS IS, without warranty.  Feel free to use these. They are not officially supported by ACST.

 

Custom Widgets put your MinistryPlatform data directly onto your website's pages — the same events, milestones and parish records your staff already maintain, kept current without exporting anything or updating it twice. Check out the Gallery for some sample pictures. If you have a login for the CatholicDemo site, check out the live widget Demo page.


The major steps are listed below. Keep reading for a detailed description.

1
Create Accounts
Sign up for free GitHub and Vercel accounts to host and deploy your custom widget components.
2
Fork the Repo
Copy the widget project into your own GitHub account to customize and deploy.
3
Set Up API Access
Create OAuth credentials in MinistryPlatform so your widgets can securely connect.
4
Configure Settings
Add your MP connection details, secrets, and your website's domain in Vercel.
5
Deploy to Vercel
Import the repository into Vercel and deploy — you'll get a live URL for your widgets.
6
Go Live
Preview the deployment, confirm it connects, and you're ready to add widgets to your website.
