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 doesn’t require to save any configuration data to database, just config the custom fields in template file itself as how wordpress recognize the templates – 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.
<h4>Usage</h4>
Open a template file with any text editor and add some additional templating comment lines starting with @custom_field keyword:
Example 1:
<pre>
/*
* Template Name: 2column-layout
*
* @custom_field main, type: wysiwyg, label: Main content
* @custom_field sidebar, type: wysiwyg, label: Sidebar
*/
</pre>
Example 2:
<pre>
/*
* 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. :)
*/
</pre>
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 can’t miss new custom fields block from this template file.
Available Types and options with Advanced Custom Fields plugin are:
<pre>
/*
* @custom_field tab1, type: tab, instructions: Tab

Clients tend to get crazy if they have to edit HTML code on their own or if little things are not working as expected. Make your editing experience as simple and good as possible:
Customize TinyMCE / TinyMCE Advanced (or other TinyMCE variants) to fit your needs.
Basically, this Plugin does two things for you:
A. This Plugin installs two files editor-style.css and editor-style-shared.css into your Theme folder (so you can still do updates of the Plugin), which can be edited in the backend of your site
<ul>
<li>editor-style.css is used for styling your TinyMCE Editor</li>
<li>editor-style-shared.css is used for styles to be used in your theme AND in your TinyMCE editor (so you do not have to copy)</li>
</ul>
Note: To use this feature, you have to write your own CSS code into this files, which is the only professional way to do it.
B. The main feature of this Plugin is to offer a GUI to create custom style formats for TinyMCE dynamically
<ul>
<li>Easy and very fast to add/change/delete</li>
<li>You do not have to change one single line of source code</li>
</ul>
Current Languages:
<ul>
<li>en_US</li>
