Hi Nyka, I’m not sure I understand your question.

If you wanted to add in the stocks listed on gsestockfeed.com, you could copy and paste each of the ticker symbols into a list and then paste it into the config area. Here is the list from gsestockfeed.com:

AADS, ACI, AGA, ALW, AYRTN, BOPP, CAL, CLYD, CMLT, CPC, EGH, EGL, ETI, FML, GCB, GGBL, GGBLRT, GLD, GOIL, GOILRT, GSR, GWEB, HFC, HORDS, IIL, MAC, MACRE, MLC, MMH, PBC, PKL, PZC, SAMBA, SCB, SCBPREF, SIC, SOGEGH, SPL, SWL, TBL, TLW, TOTAL, TRANSOL, UNIL, UTB

If gsestockfeed.com changes, you will have to update your stock list manually on our plugin.

Sorry for the long delay in response, I took a vacation and forgot to hand off this responsibility to anyone else.

I just checked the stock ticker, and TRON works for me. Has this situation been resolved?

Hi Palemo.

This is an issue with our data source. It provides a maximum of 3 decimals of precision on the stock price, but very often only gives 2 digits of precision. I was never able to find a way to force it to give 3 digits, if that is possible. I concluded it is arbitrary, which is unfortunate. Sorry about that.

Here is a screenshot to demonstrate: https://imgur.com/OoxJ61o

If I ever find a way to fix this in the future I will definitely come back and release a new version to address this highly requested issue.

I took a 2 week vacation, it’s hardly been months.

Still, you’re right, we really should have the Dow Jones functioning on our stock ticker. If it were that simple, it would already be there. We originally had Dow Jones functionality, but we were blocked from our data source for making too many requests. So, rather than serving stale data that never updates, we decided to remove the Dow Jones from our plugin until such time as we can integrate a new data source.

Unfortunately, that sort of fell by the wayside, and so here we are. Sorry that ruins the experience for you!

Hello,

Thank you for the bug report. This issue occurs because Firefox ignores the stylesheet for our widget. I have created a solution for this problem, but unfortunately I cannot release a new version of the stock widget for a few weeks.

However, the fix is very simple and you can easily fix the code yourself. All you have to do is delete the word ‘scoped’ within the file stock_widget_display.php on line 142. That’s all!

Change from
<style type="text/css" scoped>

To
<style type="text/css">

This will solve the problem in Firefox. Let me know if you have any trouble getting this to work and I will be happy to help.

Yes and no. I was working to add in a feature to automatically use names instead of / in addition to symbols, but it turned out to be more than a small update, so I am saving it for a major update.

However, there is a way to do what you want, but you have to edit the plugin file called stock_widget_display.php.

At approximately line 300, there is a section of code that looks like this:

if($data_item == "^GSPC") { //change the special index symbols to something more common knowledge
    $data_item = "S&P500";
} elseif($data_item == "^IXIC") {
    $data_item = "NASDAQ";
}

All you have to do is add in a new line after that for each replacement you want to make. So, to add in a replacement for ^FCHI you would add a line that looks like this:

elseif($data_item == "^FCHI"){$data_item = "London Stock Exchange";}

So all together, it would look like this:

if($data_item == "^GSPC") { //change the special index symbols to something more common knowledge
    $data_item = "S&P500";
} elseif($data_item == "^IXIC") {
    $data_item = "NASDAQ";
}
elseif($data_item == "^FCHI"){$data_item = "London Stock Exchange";}

And if you want to replace any more, just add more lines and change the text.

Examples:
elseif($data_item == "^XMPL"){$data_item = "EXAMPLE Exchange";}
elseif($data_item == "ABCD"){$data_item = "Alphabet Soup";}

Looks like both of those work.

LSE.L — London Stock Exchange
^FCHI — CAC40

One of the ways to find out the correct ticker symbols is to do a web search for “yahoo finance <company_name>”. Yahoo finance seems to more often give working results for ticker symbols.
