<h4>Meta Collections</h4>
<p>Meta Collections is developed to turn WordPress into a Collection manager.<br />
Beside ‘Posts’ and ‘Pages’ you can add your own custom post types (a Collection e.g. ‘Films’, ‘Recipes’ or ‘Products’).<br />
For that particular post type you can add you own Metadata schema (custom fields: For ‘Products’ a price, image and manufacturer field).<br />
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.<br />
You can intuitively compose the user interface for the post type in a preview screen by dragging and dropping metafields in the right places using neat metaboxes.<br />
Fields can be validated and can consist of multiple instances (e.g. more dan one ingredient field with a custom post type ‘recipes’).<br />
You can add metafields in the post overview table.</p>
<h4>Fields types</h4>

<li>Text</li>
<li>Textarea</li>

<li>User field. Select single or multiple wordpress users en roles in  checkbox, select or radio setting.</li>
<li>Combination Field. A field that can contain multiple other fieltypes. For example a text field and an image field. This field can also be repeated.<br />
This field you will enable to add multiple ‘records’ to one post, page or other custom post type you created.<br />
For instance, if you would have a custom post type ‘films’, this field would enable you to add mulitple actors with each film containing a bio, photo and other personal info.</li>

<h4>Shortcode</h4>
<p>Shorcodes is still quite simple<br />
you can add the follow shorcode in your posts description in order to use the fields<br />
     [collections metafield=”identifier” instance=”all” seperator=” – “]</p>
<p>The shorcode analyzed:<br />
1. ‘collections’ to identify the shortcode for the collections plugin. alwya begin the shorcode with<br />
1. ‘metafield= metafieldID’ you can look a metafieldID up by editing a metadataset and then a metadatafield.<br />
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.<br />
Use ‘all’ to return all the values.<br />
1. ‘seperator = ‘number’ if you use ‘All’for ‘instance’ then you can define a ‘seperator’ which seperate the values.</p>
<h4>Localized interface</h4>
