I love the plug-in, great job. I was wondering, is there some sort of way to code in an error message for when yahoo goes down? If it goes down , the plug-in spits out a 404 error code.

I don’t know much about coding so I’m not sure how to go about fixing this in the event it happens again. It would be nice if when the feed went down, you just got a nice little error message on your page.

I had an issue with the stock prices not displaying, and I notice your instance has the same issue. It only shows the symbols. I’m not much of a programmer, but playing around with the PHP code revealed the page pointer returned was a forward to “download.yahoo.com….. ”

Anyway… I added:

curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);

to the list of cURL options and that seems to do the trick.

Great plugin! Thanks!

I have the same problem with your plugin as I do with the SQ alternative. When I put your code in the sidebar, the page freezes at that point.

All other plugins seem fine.

Recently updated server to Apache 2.2.6, which also includes a reinstall of PHP 5.2.4. DId we miss something?

Peace,
Gene

Great plugin, thanks very much. It works with other stock exchanges if you change the yahoo URL. Mines working with Paris.
