This ticker is a java ticker that downloads RSS feed of your choice to your local domain, it downloads the RSS feed in the background (4 times a day),

The ticker displays the information between <title> and </title>

On clicking on the ticker information you are directed to a page on your forum which displays the description of each title.

Each one of these has a link pointing back to your site telling the user to talk about it at a location specified by you.

Demo: http://www.ai-stockmarketforum.com

update:
- applet is now set to low priority, so it doesn?t eat as much memory
- should now display any errors thrown

Actually I would just take it off for now, im suspecting its something to do with the address, it might only work for forums with the address:

www.example.com
and not
www.example.com/forum

this is a pain, but i just tried it out within a test folder, and it didn’t work, not sure why this is yet, but i think the problem is my end within the program and the way the java program is handling file extensions.

.. still in b testing phase, didn’t foresee this problem, but will try to get it fixed


edit, actually it work in my folder so its not this problem:
http://www.ai-stockmarketforum.com/aiticker/test.html



- just starting a software job in a new location, so not sure how much time ill have, but if i get a few mins, im sure i can sort this out

- try my test example attached, (fist change it from test.txt to test.html) upload it to local (once again change the parameter Url) then got to www.yoursite/thingy/test.html (with all of the files also in local)

if it works then its something to do wth vbull, if it doesnt then its the setup
(let me know when/if you have tried this)

Ps Ill send you a non linking hard coded version for your time, once we got this sorted(also works a bit smoother and faster).

Thanks mpage

I am happy to keep trying it, i knew this was in its beta stage, i will try it over the weekend and let you know the results.
Good luck with the new job by the way.
Thanks also for the non-linking version.

This will be an outstanding mod once all these niggles are ironed out, im looking forward to having it up and running on my forum.
As youv'e visited my webpage you can probably see im pretty new to all of this and have basically built the site up with no knowledge at the start, so dont pin your hopes on me finding too much, but im more than happy to help you in any way possible if i can, if nothing else it helps me understand just a tiny bit more also.

will let you know the results this weekend

Cheers and thanks very much again

Hello,

I ran into a problem with the Stock Market ticker, I did not ftp any files and have only uploaded them directly into the root folder.
This however, has caused me to experience some problems with the ticker bar, in that it does load properly.

Is this a normal occurrence when you don't ftp any files?

Any suggestions on how I can fix this problem?

TY.

This is a great modification, keep up the great work!

have you tried the suggestions above yet?

There shouldnt be a problem, with non ftp, since the files (I assume) should still be in the same format.

Try the test file (with the tempRSSfeed downloaded) i would be intrested in the result of this.
- have also updated the zip, it might now tell you what the error is

installed it and it doesn't work.
I've tried everything you said in the posts above,for some reason it wont write the tempRSSfeed.txt.

It only worked when i uploaded the tempRssfeed you provided.

Any suggestions?

ok thanks, you have pointed me in the direction of why it doesnt work for some ppl, I have to update the php code so it wrks with all php versions (think it only works with php 4 and below right now). Sorry for taking a while, have only just managed to get myself set up again in a new country/job/house etc. Will get this fixed this week! - and ill update the zip file, and put a link here to the new php file.

A quick fix for ppl using php5, edit the fetchRSS2.php file, and change the "file_put_contents_php4" to "file_put_contents", you can just delete the "file_put_contents_php4 function"

(sorry I made this for my host which is still usng php4, grr! when will they update!)

new php file support php5 (will update zip file when i get time):

- note, I got this working on my server and tested it by

1. uploading the fetchRSS2.php file
2. Deleteing the tempRssseed.txt
3. refreshing my forum (didnt display any ticker info - as expected)
4. Clossing all the browser windows
5. Logging back into my Forum home page (little lag as it creates the local files)
- hey presto

- let me know if this still doesnt work with php 5?
- will soon update this java ap to be able to scroll back and forth

1. Was you getting that before changing the php file
2. What else does it say on the page (does it suggest its a php error)?
3. What version of php does your server use?

Sounds like the TickerInfo.txt file isnt set up correctly, use the default version first

eg :

RSS = "http://p.moreover.com/cgi-local/page?c=Top%20finance%20stories&o=rss002"

since the php files uses:

$pos1 = strpos($strURL, "RSS = "); // "RSS = " needs to be present exactly
$strURL = substr($strURL, $pos1 +7); //on the 7 char, on start of that line, the rss feed adr needs to start
$pos1 = strpos($strURL, "\""); // finds the position of the last (")
$strURL = substr($strURL, 0, $pos1); // cuts out the relavant URL

I cant see where else an outofbounds error would occur
