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 information in the install.txt is insufficient. I need to know what separators 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 separated

i.e.
MSFT, IBM

would display the template (with those tokens above) for the stock symbols MSFT and IBM.

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) 

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,
Vikas

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.

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,

Nathan

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

Thanks,

Nathan

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?

I am also having problems getting any stock information to appear.  I have other parts on the site that are crossing the firewall and work fine.  Can you give more specific information on how this web part works?

Thanks~

I too am having issues with stocks showing. I have done everything here and still nothing. Anything on the doc yet? Is this project dead?

Yes it shows on the list and I used your template from here > http://www.datasprings.com/Products...fault.aspx

and yes I can manage the settings and add the web part and lastly I can access the site you refer to above from the MOSS server.

Hmmm... Well thats not very fun is it. That should be it, as far as I know it should also be able to run in minimal trust. The web part just connects to that web service to get the stock information.

One thing to check, change this line your web.config:

From:
 
  
To:
 
  
Not that you should have to set the trust to full, just trying to see if this makes a difference for debugging the issue.

From the posts on here it doesn't seem like you are the only one having this problem, just trying to figure out why. Since you are already working with the web part and have the ability to setup the template and so forth I would say the problem is connecting to the web service from WSS/MOSS?

Chad,

You have missing text in your post. I don't see any problems connecting to the web service unless this is looking into a specific port that I am not aware of?

I already have it set to Full...thx.

Actually it just shows this:

System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at StockQuotes.StockQuotes.RenderWebPart(HtmlTextWriter output)

It appears you haven't declared a variable for an object thus the Null error?

Ok, I got this to work. It appears that when I viewed the template in an editor I used the wrap to view it then copied and pasted. When I undid the wrap and then copied and pasted it now it works...strange.

When I set the trust level to full the stock quote web part started working for me.  Thanks! Jennifer
