The stock quptte web part was installed on the MOSS 2007 server. I can succesfully add it to a page but then there is no information displayed. I changed the stock symbols with no effect.
Please advise. Also, please advise to add multiple stock quotes. The inormation in the install.txt is insufficient. I need to know what seperators to use for multiple stock symbol quotes.
Thanks,
Vikas

Ahh, sorry we are working on the full PDF for documentation right now.
Use these symbols within the template:
Available Symbols
$(StockSymbol)
$(LastTradePrice)
$(LastTradeDate)
$(LastTradeTime)
$(PriceChange)
$(DayOpen)
$(DayHigh)
$(DayLow)
$(Volume)
$(MarketCap)
$(PrevClose)
$(PercentChange)
$(52WeekRange)
$(EPS)
$(PE)
$(CompanyName)
That is what needs to be in the template to reference any stocks.
The list of stocks needs to be comma seperated
i.e.
MSFT, IBM
would display the template (with those tokens above) for the stock symbols MSFT and IBM.

I changed the stock template to $(StockSymbol) and left the Stock Symbols as MSFT and still nothing shows up.
Is there anything else that needs to be changed to make it display the stock info?
When will the pdf be available?
Thanks,
Nathan |

Ummm. Is the site behind a major firewall or anything? Does it display a header/footer and so forth?
I just included two screenshots on the main web part page and will list the demonstrations of what was used within the web part settings in a text file shortly.
You don't have to display stock information for multiple stocks if you don't want to - you can use the module to just display stock information for just one particular stock: Stock Information for $(StockSymbol) as of $(LastTradeDate) | Last Trade: | $(LastTradePrice)
| | Trade Time: | $(LastTradeTime) | | Change: | $(PriceChange) ($(PercentChange)) | | Prev Close: | $(PrevClose) | | Day Open: | $(DayOpen) | | Days Range: | $(DayLow) - $(DayHigh) | | 52 Week Range: | $(52WeekRange) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Thanks for the help. I can display the quotes as I wanted but I see in the main page of the web part you have formatted the display with bold fonts, color etc. How do I achieve it?
Thanks,

I think you are right with the firewall. It will display the header and footer, but nothing in the stock template.
I was a little confused at first because on the same page I have other web parts:
One is an image web part that points to an external url to get an updated stock image.
One is an RSS feed from Reuters
I'm guessing that the DataSprings StockQuote webpart utilizes a different port than these web parts. When I remote into the box hosting SharePoint I do not have access so it is locked down pretty tightly.
Thanks,

I meant when I remote into the box I do not have access to the internet.

Oh. Well part of the way the web part operates is that it has to have access to the internet. If the web part (or box the Sharepoint site is on) doesn't have access to the internet then it can't get accurate and up to date stock information. |

Also, we hope to change the area when you manage the templates to that you can use a Rich Text Editor. Right now its plain text but it allows for HTML so thats how you make it bold, change the fonts, etc...

Evidently the box has internet access, just not through a browser. It is working today and I didn't change anything, so I'm all good now.
Thanks,

How do you make negative values show in red and positive values show in green?
Thanks,

Hi. Not yet a feature but one we are looking to add right away. We are thinking this will either be done with additional tokens that you can use (i.e. $(StockPriceHighlight)) which will determine if its a positive or negative value and then offering you the ability within properties to set the positive color and negative color (in your case red and green).

My stocksymbol doesn't not work, but others work. The one I use is TRZ.A and it's register at TSX. Is that a problem that it's only register at TSX ?
thx |

| Both TSX and TRZ-A.TO work for me and they are two different companies. When I went to go look up TRZ-A it automatically defaulted to TRZ-A.TO so hopefully that is what you are trying to use as one of the stock symbols within the part part? |

It works !
On the web site of TSX they write TRZ.A and not TRX-A.
Is the *.TO for "Toronto" ?
thx |

I am guessing so. That is just what it defaulted when I went to finance.yahoo.com so I assumed that was it. Glad you go it working.
Any other comments on the web part? We are hoping to add some more enhancements soon.

| I can't seem to be able to get this to work. I placed my MOSS server outside the firewall (in a DMZ) and it still doesn't show stocks. It shows the header & footer, but anything in the stock template does not show up. I tried the stock symbols listed above, along with MSFT, GTW & APPL. No dice. |

So what does your template look like? Have you confirmed from the MOSS Server that you can connect to outside URLS (say maybe use an IFRAME within MOSS or something?).
