Turns Wordpress into a Collection Manager. Customize edit screen by creation metadata schema's for custom post types, taxomonies and fields

== Description ==
<h4>Meta Collections</h4>
Meta Collections is developed to turn Wordpress into a Collection manager.
Beside 'Posts' and 'Pages' you can add your own post type (a Collection e.g. 'Films'). 
For that particular post type you can a you own Metadata schema. So for example, if you want a Dublin Core schema you can.
That schema can be a mixture of system and custom fields or a completely customized metadataschema.
On top of that you can intuitively compose the user interface for the post type by dragging and dropping metafields in the right places using neat metaboxes.
 
Fields can be validated and can consist of multiple instances (e.g. more dan one ingredient field).
You can also add metafields in the overview table. 

<h4>Fields types</h4>

* Text
* Textarea
* Wysiwyg (Wordpress' own Editor)
* ColorPicker (jQuery UI Colorpicker with hsb, rgb, lab, cmyk, hex colortype and transparancy support)   
* Date (jQuery UI datepicker)
* Datetime (jQuery Mobiscroll)
* Image 
* Georeference (Using google maps API for displaying a map and (reverse) geocode)
* True / False (checkbox with text comment)
* Taxonomy (adds a 'Wordpress own' taxonomy to your post type)
* Select (for selecting one or multiple values in a dropdownmenu)

<h4>Shortcode</h4>
Shorcodes is still quity simple since this plugin is brand new (september 2012)
you can add the follow shorcode in your posts description in order to use the fields
<code> [collections metafield="identifier" instance="all" seperator=" - "]</code>

The shorcode analyzed:
1. 'collections' to identify the shortcode for the collections plugin. alwya begin the shorcode with
1. 'metafield= metafieldID' you can look a metafieldID up by editing a metadataset and then a metadatafield. 
1. 'instance = number'  to enable use of multiple values in a metafield. use 0 for the value for instance 0 or 1 for instance 1. Default if variable is not used is 0.
Use 'all' to return all the values.
1. 'seperator = 'number' if you use 'All'for 'instance' then you can define a 'seperator' which seperate the values.
