Hi,

I am creating a website for a Travel Agent and am planning on setting up Custom Post Types for their Packages. Each package will be a different holiday location and has all the info and images.
For the images, I would like to setup a simple slideshow above all the content, too work much in the same way as a regular ol' homepage slider.

But how would I go about setting this up??

So for each post they create, they can upload a few images that will only appear within that actual post. I would like to keep the images separate from the actual the_content() area.

Any plugins or custom scripts out there to do this?

Thanks

Can't you add some custom fields for the slide and use those?

I think that may be my best option; but how can I get all the images into a slideshow?!

You could use the gallery that comes with wordpress.

It can be coded into the theme so its always in the same place like the featured image.

Once you have the gallery you could then find a good jQuery slider and then style it till it looks and works like you want.

I haven't done it it yet, but that's where I would start
