The Arcive of vBulletin Modifications Site.

Hi there,

I have noticed that a few phpBB sites have company stock quotes listed in their headers (check out http://www.xmfan.com and http://www.xm411.com for examples)

I want to do the same thing on my site with vBulletin 3.

Any ideas how I can do this?

I believe they are pulling the info from Yahoo.

Thanks for anyone who can help!

Ok I have been able to figure it out a little bit...

Here is what I got so far...

If I put the following code in a PHP file the stock quotes will display, but only at the top of the page.

Code:

$fd = fopen ("http://quote.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=DISH&f=sl1d1t1c1ohgv&e=.csv", "r");
$contents = fread ($fd, 200);
fclose ($fd);
 
$contents = str_replace ("\"", "", $contents);
$contents = explode (",", $contents);
 
echo "<ul><li>DISH Network stock tracker. Most recent trade: <b>\$$contents[1]</b>. ($contents[4]) (Prices delayed up to 20 minutes.)</li>";

Again this code works however the data is displayed at the top of my page.

I would like to be able to take this data and the

Code:

<ul><li>DISH Network stock tracker. Most recent trade: <b>\$$contents[1]</b>. ($contents[4]) (Prices delayed up to 20 minutes.)</li>

and put it into my templates, so the stock is displayed exactly where I want it on the page not at the top of the page. I would like it to go in my header, below my logo and above the Navbar.

Any ideas?

Can anyone help? I would really like this displayed in my templates and not at the top of my page.

Check out http://www.satelliteguys.us/index.php to see what I mean.

Thanks!

Where did you put your additions? Try putting your code where you want the information to be displayed?

Right now the code is in my index.php file.

The problem with this is no matter where I put the PHP in the file it still displays above the top and above the <html> & <body> when it is displayed to the user.

I want to be able to put this in my header template below my logo.
