I hope that the media library is improved soon too Marcus. Completely agree, once you have a site with a few thousand images the media library becomes quite clumsy and slow. This donation is on behalf of Jezweb WordPress client, Verge Safety Barriers – http://www.vergesafetybarriers.com.au who manufacture steel warehouse barriers to stop people getting run over by forklifts.
Question to Jez what chat program do you have on your website?

5 out of 5 Dragons for this show
This show is out of my league as I don't know enough to program my own webpage or how to use WordPress. But I love to listen to the two host talking about their lives and thoughts and then present what is out there in the internet. In a few weeks from now I plan to use the dragon ratings in selecting my first plugins for my first WordPress page 🙂 Go on you two. I love the podcast. The music also got better 🙂

From Joe Hoey
Hello John & Marcus,
First of all thanks for the great show.
I was looking for a plugin for WooCommerce that could calculate the price for a custom table frame.
eg. Someone visits the site and inputs the Width, Height en Length of the table frame they want and with this information a final price would be set or add to a standard price. Is there add-ons for WooCommerce that can do this.
I could do this with attributes and variation but it would take a hell of a lot work because he wants in in steps of centimeters.
For the length that would be for 40 to 300cm. Height from 40 to 120cm en width from 40 to 150cm.
Thanks

InstaShow
Premium Plugin $19
Sent in by Andrew Kozinski
The Lowdown:
If you want to showcase your Instagram feed or simply want to add images from Instagram to your site in a clean simple way this is a great plugin. It has several ways to display the images customization's for look and feel even a few to make it look great when using a popup. It has visual composer support and you can add any Instagram source you want to it. This plugin looks to be a pretty great way to showcase images from Instagram yours or others.
Rating 4 Dragons
King Composer
sent in by Anthony Pham start $29
The Lowdown:
This is a new website builder plugin and from the small testing I did on their test site it works pretty well. It has a few things that other composers do not have such as pi charts, counters, the ability to add a facebook post and more. It has fewer options than other composers such as Visual composer, buts its interface looks to be cleaner and faster. all in all it looks like it would be a great option for a website that needs a composer but not as many bells and whistles.

The Lowdown:
This plugin let you show content and hide content depending on dates or a date range. it is pretty straightforward and you can build one post with the short codes nested for example if you have promos that are available for only certain dates and time you can set it all up to show and it just becomes automatic after that. This could be a pretty useful plugin for having content appear and disappear depending on the event and its date.
Rating 4 Dragons.
