I'm looking for a single page RSS that shows the current Dow, NASDAQ and S&P 500 only? Is there anything like that available?

Thanks.

Yes, I tried that RSS. Regular stocks work fine, but I wasn't able to figure out how to get the Dow, etc. I tried $INDU and INDU for the Dow (symbols I've seen used other places) without success. These symbols return $0.00.

Thanks.

Precede the symbols with a '^' character.

Example:

The symbols supported can be found at http://finance.yahoo.com (with a little digging). Here is a few that I found:

^dji = Dow Jones Industrial
^ixic = Nasdaq
^gspc = S&P500

Thanks,

but if i just add a line in the config.txt

(e.g. rss,7,60,http://www.xanadb.com/nav.pl?page=etc/templates/quotes.xtpl&cont_type=text/xml&symbols=^dji+^indu)

I cannot see it in the TP news section (I see only as far as to number 6 news entry).

Yes, you need to modify the "skin" you are using to support 7 RSS feeds.

If you are using the slider "skin" find the region for the rss feeds "loaders". It begins: REGION 5 - PAGES 0 & 1. Modify the loader for feed 1 and 6. Also, add the "loader" for rss feed 7:

Code Select

//=============================================
region,5,0,-1
load,rss,1
storevar,var2=6
storevar,var3=1
endregion,5,0
//=============================================
region,5,1,-1
load,rss,2
storevar,var2=0
storevar,var3=2
endregion,5,1
//=============================================
region,5,2,-1
load,rss,3
storevar,var2=1
storevar,var3=3
endregion,5,2
//=============================================
region,5,3,-1
load,rss,4
storevar,var2=2
storevar,var3=4
endregion,5,3
//==============================================
region,5,4,-1
load,rss,5
storevar,var2=3
storevar,var3=5
endregion,5,4
//=============================================
region,5,5,-1
load,rss,6
storevar,var2=4
storevar,var3=6
endregion,5,5
//=============================================
region,5,6,-1
load,rss,7
storevar,var2=5
storevar,var3=0
endregion,5,6
//=============================================
