WordPress : SlideShow and Destinations

Hi all, So I've just enrolled .... (pleasure to meet you all). I'm watching the "Custom Post Types and Fields" tutorial. In it Zac mentions (what I assume to be) 2 plugins "Slideshow" and "destinations" they are not in my install. I've searched plugins ... find many "Slideshows" (but not sure which one), Can't really find any pointers to "Destinations" ... would appreciate any help you can give

Hi,

As I mention in the video, those sites are example sites showing what "Custom Post Types and Custom Fields" look like when they are installed on a site. They are not installed by default however, so they will only show up if a developer added them to your site while building it.

If you would like to know more about adding them yourself, check out this: http://teamtreehouse.com/library/how-to-make-a-website-with-wordpress#custom-post-types-and-fields-in-wordpress

At this stage Zac is just setting up some custom fields which will allow the user to choose which image to include in the slideshow. He will integrate the slider later on using "Flexslider". He won't be using a WordPress plugin but rather a javascript/jquery plugin and talks about it in "Linking JavaScript" video under "Preparing to Code WordPress Templates". The files are included in the project file download.

Not sure what you meant by "Destinations" though. I didn't see it being references in the video unless I'm looking at the wrong one.
