== Description ==
Meta Collections
Meta Collections is developed to turn Wordpress into a Collection manager.
Beside 'Posts' and 'Pages' you can add your own custom post types (a Collection e.g. 'Films').
For that particular post type you can add you own Metadata schema (custom fields).
For example, if you want a Dublin Core metadata 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 post overview table.
Fields types
* Text
* Textarea
* Wysiwyg (Wordpress' native Editor)
* Vimeo API connector (copies vimeo's preview images and other metadata into wordpress, configure embedding options)
* Youtube field. (Using YouTube's API to get all the metadata for the film) Ability to use the title and description from the Youtube film in Wordpress' title and description
* 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' native taxonomy or tags to your post type)
* Select (for selecting one or multiple values in a dropdownmenu)
* Radio buttons (for single value)
* Open Layer New Open Layer field for managing multiple point with a post (or other custom post type) every point can contain a title, date time and amount.

Shortcode
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
[collections metafield="identifier" instance="all" seperator=" - "]
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.
