Dow-Jones, NASDAQ, S&P RSS?

[rebecker]

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:

Hi

what would then be the correct notation for
-Nasdaq
-NYSE
-S&P
-Dow Jones ?

It seems i cannot find these ticjers anywhere.

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).

Do i have to make adjustnments somewhere elso to ?

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 Expand
