Attach Sermon Resources - A Useful Addition?
Hey Advanced Sermons community, Our team is looking at integrating a new feature to Advanced Sermons Pro to give churches the ability to attach resources to sermons. This is a feature that is more than just sermon notes, but would allow you to link additional pages, posts, events, and external links to a sermons. Not only would this be useful to users to view additional content that the sermon is related to, but would also be beneficial for SEO to create some internal linking. We would love to get some feedback from the community on if this is something that would be of interest.

Book filter order
It would be useful to be able to order the books in the filter dropdown in either a drag and drop format or manual order of choice, as the books of the Bible is not necessarily in alphabetical order.

Completed Series
Would be awesome to flag a series as complete in the back-end with the result that in the front-end the series would display all the sermons from old to new for easier playback.

Allow Books to be grouped under Old and New Testament
It would be really helpful to enable a parent filter label under "Books" and allow the books of the Bible to be grouped under Old and New Testament respectively. It will enable more accurate filtering. I would really love to see this come to life.

Campus & Service Type Addons
To make sure Advanced Sermons is compatible with all church requirements we have created two addons for Advanced Sermons that extends its ability by creating a custom taxonomy for Campuses and Service Types. You can read more and download these addons here: https://advancedsermons.com/docs/add-custom-taxonomies-to-advanced-sermons/ Note: These are built to work with Advanced Sermons 3.0 to make sure you update your Advanced Sermons plugin to the latest version before installing. If anyone has other taxonomy requests, please let us know and we will be more than happy to create some additional addons for the community.

More Language Options
With the release of Advanced Sermons 3.0 right around the corner, we're proud to introduce a ton of new features and improvements to Advanced Sermons. One of these improvements is with the language settings of Advanced Sermons. We have expanded greatly on this functionality to include all aspects of the plugin to be translatable directly from our Language settings page to eliminate the need of 3rd party plugins like Loco Translate. The plugin will still support 3rd party plugins like Loco Translate if you wish to continue to use them.

Embed Video Functionality
Other video platforms are growing, we plan to switch to Rumble and would greatly benefit from customization options for the video embed. A simple if not function exists for the video template would enable it to be overridden to support custom platforms. Just 2 lines of code: if (!function_exists('asp_sermon_video_template')) { function asp_sermon_video_template() { ... } }

New Option: Disable Book Testament Grouping
We understand that not everyone wants to group Books by new and old testament. For this reason, we have added a new option to the Archive settings to allows user to disable book testament grouping.
