Great Plugin!. It would be nice if you can implement embedded charts of finviz.com, They are just an image (Ex. http://finviz.com/chart.ashx?s=m&p=d&t=AAPL), pretty cute and it is in realtime.

Nice work.

Can someone explain to me how to actually make the ticker show up on sidebar?
1. I activated the plugin
2. I modified settings in the Setting page
3. Do I need to somehow include the file in the sidebar? There are serious documentation missing. I have no idea how to properly install your use this ticker. One line of “usage” explanation, doesnt tell me anything.

Also, is there any way to pull the 100-day moving average? And maybe the price difference between the stock and the moving averages?

Thanks for a wonderful plugin!

Is there a way to make this plugin work in the sidebar (e.g. sidebar.php)?

Hi mate,

Good plugin but it has a serious flaw which needs to be fixed. Many of Yahoos stock symbols use the characters . and ^. e.g. ^FTSE or BARC.L

Any idea how we can get this working?

Andy,

Will you please post or email me the patch that avoids the files being generated on the server?

Todd,

I have a patch for your plugin that will make it unnecessary to write anything to the server file system, which fixes problems some users have had. Iâ€™ll explain more if you shoot me an e-mail, but since youâ€™re using my original code snippet to do the downloads, you are vulnerable to the same issue, albeit rare. A user contacted me having the same issue with both plugins, thatâ€™s how I found your page. Anyway, youâ€™re welcome to incorporate the changes.

Please email with any help you can offer..

I use this plugin, however I am trying to display the [[ticker]] quote information on a member profile page using the profiler plugin
(member enters stock quotes into their profile, then when they view the profile/member page the quote data would show up)
problem is, I’m only getting “[[ticker]]”…

this makes me think the plugin will only work on posts or pages. is there a way to add some PHP to make the plugin display the data in any page? even a page I have custom created?

or must this plugin be used “inside the loop” (whatever that means)

what php code must I add to a page to get this plugin to translate [[goog]] into the data?

thanks thanks thanks for any help
