Perhaps I worded it badly. You won't get any feed, the pluging pings Yahoo when it needs to get stock info. What you're seeing is the plugin (look in the screen shots).

So if I undertand right, It will ping yahoo after a while and I will get the info?

This is what I have now (see the attachment)

Thanks

Go ahead and purchase stock. There's no way in this plugin to look up stock symbols or get quotes. You have to know the stock symbol ahead of time by using finance.google.com or something like it.

I'm going to look into adding an AJAX interface for looking up stock info though.

From screenshot 2 I was under the impression that it's already in this mod. So how would a user know what to put in the fields? Adding an Ajax would be great

Great looking mod,

I am always on the lookout for giving my users extra features on my boards, but a quick question. I have a UK based site, what would be involved in making the mod UK ccompatible, ie in £'s and buying stocks from The UK as opposed to US?

regards

AFAIK the Yahoo feed only supports USD. In the mod you can set an "exchange rate" that specifies how many of your board's points equal 1 USD. Perhaps you could use that somehow.

Are you planning to do a vbadvanced module, besides the ticker?

Well, it seems to work flawlessly with vbbux.

Awesome mod, looking forward to the next version.

Would like to see something in the postbit legacy where you can see what stocks people have......

I just posted an update which implements an AJAX interface to look up stock information. This does not allow you to search for stock symbols, you must know the symbol ahead of time.

There's one extra file that needs to be uploaded in this update.

This looks great and I think I will install it. I do have a suggestion! Make it so you can have investing contests - issue so many bucks in a portfolio that has a start and end date? Nice job thx a bunch!
