Advanced Page Template

Àpèjúwe

Advanced Page Template is a nice new approach to custom fields by page template.
Please try to configure the custom fields easily in the template file itself using this plugin.

It doesnÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’t require to save any configuration data to database, just config the custom fields in template file itself as how wordpress recognize the templates Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – Its just wordpress way!

I think that it makes developing and deploying more easy and more sense for the developers. 🙂

Note: I highly recommend you to install and activate Advanced Custom Fields plugin so as to get its perfect benefit. Field Types only works with Advanced Custom Fields plugin.

Usage

Open a template file with any text editor and add some additional templating comment lines starting with @custom_field keyword:

Example 1:

/*
* Template Name: 2column-layout
*
* @custom_field main, type: wysiwyg, label: Main content
* @custom_field sidebar, type: wysiwyg, label: Sidebar
*/

Example 2:

/*
* Template Name: Contact Page
*
* @custom_field photo, type: image, label: Photo of manager
* @custom_field phone, type: text
* @custom_field map, type: google_map
* 
* Note: The photo, phone, map are the custom field names in each '@custom_field' line,
* therefore use wordpress's 'get_post_meta' or ACF's 'get_field' method with those custom field names to get the values in this template. :)
*/

Please bring the page edit link up in the backend and select the template which you just edited and hit ‘Update’ or ‘Save’ button.
After page refreshing, You canÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’t miss new custom fields block from this template file.
