WordPress.org

Requirements:

• PHP 5
• cURL support must be enabled

Steps:

1. Extract the plugin's zip file in your '/wp-content/plugins' directory
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
3. Configure the plugin in the 'Options', 'Stock Quote Sidebar'
4. Place the widget, or if you prefer, Place the plugin's PHP code where you want it in the sidebar PHP file.

You can use the plugin in two ways, to generate different lists of stocks in different places.

• Specify a list of symbols in the options page

  To use this approach, simply enable the widget, or manually insert the following code where you want the quotes to appear: <?php get_stock_quote(); ?>

• Specify a list of symbols in the php function within your WordPress template

  To use this option, call the same function with the symbols as a parameter: <?php get_stock_quote("^IXIC,^GSPC,NOVL,ko,pfe,intc"); ?> This approach is not currently supported with the widget.
