Genesis Page Templates is a plugin that adds additional unique page templates to the Genesis Framework.
Genesis Page Templates takes advantage of a new filter introduced in WordPress 4.4.0. The first page template included in the plugin is a custom loop page template which allows a user to conveniently modify the loop on a per page basis by selecting the "Custom Loop" page template in the page editor and then entering Custom Loop settings into a meta box.

Activate the Genesis Page Templates plugin. Choose a page to edit. When in the "Edit Page" screen, select the "Custom Loop" template from Page Attributes drop down menu and click the Update button. A new meta box titled "Custom Loop Settings" will be added to the Edit Page screen below the content editor. Enter the appropriate parameters in the Custom Loop Settings meta box to modify the custom loop and click the Update button. View page to see the results of your custom loop.
Note: Since this is the initial release of the plugin I discourage using it on a production website until it has been thoroughly tested.
Introduce additional page templates. Update post type, taxonomy and taxonomy terms to accept multiple parameters. Add additional settings options. Change some settings options to drop down menus.
