AIM Page Module Builder

You can use the form below to build a basic AIM Pages module customised to your own preferences. When you have filled in your settings and chosen a template to use, click the "Create Module" button and a zip file will be delivered containing your module.

The zip file is suitable to be uploaded to AIM Pages (although the idea is that you would add your own functionality to the module first using javascript) via the Module Upload link at AOL's Module Developer site (note that you will need to sign up for a free AIM Pages account to upload your module).

Set the preferences for your new module
If you wish to configure more details about your module, click the "> more options" link below. Use the ?Just hover over the icon (if you have javascript enabled). icons to identify help on a particular topic.
?This is the unique id for your module. It must start with an alphabetic character and can contain '-' (minus) and '_' (underscore) characters. It is used by the AIM Page Publisher and the module manager to identify your module.
?This is a short title for your module that appears as the title for your module when it is dragged to the page. There is an entry in the edit screen to manage this title.
?The edit view screen can be branded with different styling. The module remains the same, but the edit screen contains some styling to make it look a little less rustic.
