Maybe this should be listed as "unsupported". My board is still broke.

Ditto ~

He isn't supporting it on his site apparently either.

Maybe if we post it enough HERE he will at least respond.

It's got to be something that changed in Yahoo, then...does anyone know how to access or where they get their feeds?

same error here. this happened right after the markets plunged. hmm, any relation?

you guys have just to change the new yahoo url for the feed, the new one is:
http://download.finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv

change this in the file class_stocktrader.php

the other problem is, that the stock overview quotes only one stock right, I guess this is some kind of misplaced variable in the code.

That URL is already there in class_stocktrader.php

no, the existant url is:

var $service_url = 'http://finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv';

there is a "download" in front

Thank you many times over stamos2003 for the right url!!!

You were right, I was blind, didn't see the change in the link. Just switched it and everything is back to normal and working like it did before.

Thanks again!!:up:

Thanks stamos,
After I changed it and rerun the cron job, it still shows

Warning: Division by zero in /vbtrade.php on line 112

And some of the profile still has () in the change column..Is there anyway to fix the warning and refresh all the accounts ?

*sigh*

Same here... http://download.finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv simply doesn't change anything. :(

I attempted the same thing with no change in results. There is a variable missing in the string, but I can't figure it out. In searching google for the url I found it will work when you add ticker symbols to it... But how do you add the variable, which must be a part of the program?

Is there no more support for this mod? No one has a new file/code to correct the issue??

Sigh.. :(

I did change the link that Stamos2003 provided and it works fine, its been running since March 21 and allows us to get quotes, buy, and sell the stock, shows stock prices, etc.

Stuff we did for it:
1 - reupload the stock trader files,
2 - import the product-stocktrader.xml file and selected overwrite
3 - checked the cron, changed it to run once every hour
4 - changed the url for the feed to the one Stamos2003 provided.

After this its been working fine.

*deleted*

kylek
I did what you did and it didn't help. it just wipe out everything and still the same error

Damn. Tried the same thing...no dice. This sucks.

open up vbtrade.php and change

to

This will only show 42.70 . you can change 2 to 0 if you wish to show 42 only.

Anyone got any feedback from the author ?

My ISP har disabled the fopen-function and says that I should rewrite the code to use curl instead. Can anyone help me with this modifications?

Cant seem to get this to work with vb 3.7.0 RC1

Comes up witht he following error at the top of the page:

It's not for version 3.7, it's 3.6.

I wish...:( I'm about to trash it since it does not work. Too bad, my members liked the stock market challenges we set up when it worked.

I know, but if you dont try then you dont know.

Im simply posting to save anyone else with 3.7 the hassle of installing to see if it works.

We disabled ours until a new updated file can be done. Says this hack is supported but the developer seems to have left. :(

I have read through most of this thread, I have one stock SIRI which shows change updates etc. But any other stock I buy and put in the hack displays () under change and never updates. I set the cron to run once and hr.

I also updated the feed.

Any suggestions?

The first page says:

Official Support
This thread until Feb 1st
After Feb 1st: http://www.anothermessageboard.com/f...splay.php?f=35

However, it is not supported there either. Also it says that version 0.9.9 is available but when i downloaded the zip file, it shows up as 0.9.8. This is a cool hack and I wish I could implement it, but it doesnt look like support is going to happen. :(

Appears this mod is done. No solution, developer is gone. Might as well uninstall it. :(

This sucks, anyone know for a stock trader mod for 3.6.8 ?

Yes, I did. I will just keep my eye out for another. :D

So there is noone who finally made this work for vBB 3.7.0?

I´d love to install this onto vBB 3.7.0 and also would like to donate some cash for a working version.

PLEASE try to fixx this!!

Contacted the developer at his site and he just played games. We set up a time to fix my issues and when the time came he just ignored me, even after sending several pm's to him. Good thing about yahoo messenger is that you see when the user comes on/off and I always sent the pms when he 1st came online.

Anyways several days passed and he finally pm's me back telling me that he has more important things to do rather than some message board. So I tell him he should have never set up a time-line with me then and that was the end of it, well at least I thought.

I uninstalled his hack and then he had the nerve to come back a week later and pm me via yahoo saying: "Hey Numnuts... I have finished school so now I can look at the hack". He obviously likes to play head games and has problems with concentrating with his responsibilities he takes on.

Because of my experience with him I will NEVER install another one of his hacks again and I strongly warn everybody else with the "Buyer Beware" saying.

Hey guys .. check this post!
