## Overview

A collection groups related titles, such as a saga or a franchise. Its page shows, from top to bottom:

1. **The hero**: the name, a summary and the synopsis of the collection.
2. **The rating** of the collection, and its main genres.
3. **Recurring cast**: the people who appear in several of its titles.
4. **In this collection**: its titles, in the order the visitor chooses.
5. **The comments**.

You create collections and add their titles in Dbmovies. See [Collections](https://doothemes.com/docs/dbmovies/post-types/collections).

## The hero

- **The backdrop** changes between the backdrops of the titles of the collection, every 9 seconds.
- **The summary line** shows the years the collection covers and how many movies and TV shows it has, such as *2008–2025 · 24 movies · 4 TV shows*.
- **The rating**: visitors rate the collection itself, from 1 to 10, with its own votes. See [User ratings](https://doothemes.com/docs/dbmovies/modules/user-ratings).
- **The genres**: the three most common genres of its titles. Each one opens its page.
- **The synopsis**, with **Show more** when it is long.
- **My list** and **Share**, as on a [movie page](https://doothemes.com/docs/wovie/pages/movie#the-buttons).

## Recurring cast

The people who appear in two or more titles of the collection, up to 20, from the one in the most titles. Under each name, the character they play most often, or **Director** or **Creator** for the people behind the camera. Each person opens their page.

It only appears when at least three people repeat across the titles.

## In this collection

The titles of the collection, with **Load more** to see the rest. Each poster shows the rating of the title and its quality and language badges, and below it, its year and age rating.

Visitors choose the order:

| Order | What it does |
|---|---|
| **Newest first** | The latest releases first. It is the order the list opens with |
| **Release order** | From the first release to the last, the order to watch a saga |
| **Top rated** | The best rated first, by the rating of each title on your site |

To change how many titles load at a time, see [Collections list](https://doothemes.com/docs/dbmovies/settings/core-modules#collections-list) in the Dbmovies documentation (12 by default).

## In the member account

Members can save a collection to **My list** and rate it. In their account, a collection shows the poster of its first title and its number of titles. See [Account](https://doothemes.com/docs/wovie/pages/account).

## Where it comes from

Everything on this page comes from the collection in Dbmovies: its name and synopsis, its titles and their order. Dbmovies prepares the summary (years, number of movies and TV shows, genres and recurring cast) when you add, change or remove a title of the collection. See [Adding titles to a collection](https://doothemes.com/docs/dbmovies/post-types/collections#adding-titles-to-a-collection).

The summary, the sort orders and the recurring cast need Dbmovies 1.3.36 or later. With an older Dbmovies, the page shows the number of titles and the list in a fixed order. See [Requirements](https://doothemes.com/docs/wovie/requirements#keep-dbmovies-up-to-date).

## Troubleshooting

| Problem | What to do |
|---|---|
| The page shows only *N titles*, without years or genres, and the list has no sort menu | Update Dbmovies to 1.3.36 or later |
| The Recurring cast does not appear | Fewer than three people appear in two or more of its titles |
| The genres or the recurring cast look out of date after you changed a title | They update the next time you add, change or remove a title of the collection |
| A title of the collection does not appear in the list | Only published titles appear. Check that the title is published |
