Hi you can do this in your package controller:

Loader::model('collection_types');
$image_file = AttributeType::getByHandle('image_file'); //image attribute
$eaku = AttributeKeyCategory::getByHandle('collection');
         $eaku->setAllowAttributeSets(AttributeKeyCategory::ASET_ALLOW_SINGLE);
         $themeSet = $eaku->addSet('built_in',t('Custom Attributes'),$pkg);
CollectionAttributeKey::add($image_file,array('akHandle'=>'page_image','akName'=>t('Page Image(Thumbnai)'),'akIsSearchable'=>false),$pkg)->setAttributeSet($themeSet);

Take a look at my controller (attached), the example you gave me is a bit over my head :S sorry I'm still getting to grips with this.

Let me know how you get on!

With the If statement (remember I'm a bit of a novice) It will have to be something along these lines, although I don't really have a clue where to wrap it around or anything :/ would you be able to give me any clue as I cant really find an example in any free themes?

$ct = CollectionType::getByHandle($ctHandle, $pkg);
     if(!$ct){
           $data['ctHandle'] = $ctHandle;
      $data['ctName'] = t($ctName);
      $data['ctIcon'] = $ctIcon;
      $ct = CollectionType::add($data,$pkg);
   }
     return $ct;

The controller you sent back still comes up with the same error :( cant figure it out.

Thanks
