Re: Stocks widget? Available?
 

Hi,

Glad i was able to help, sorry, I was not able to respond to you question previously due to out for vacation :)

Cool Bean!

Well, that was the only work around I was using to check my Stock. Quick and easy way huh? :) cos this way, i get check it on the fly by tapping on the widget to get your stock updated. (or scheduled it on the command widget)

Also you can add 'additional command line like...."echo `date` to your widget to tell you when it was the last updated :)

Like you said, i can't lived without it :) it a must have to me too :)

Re: Stocks widget? Available?
 

I'm not good enough in English neither in Perl (the program used by "quote").
But I could modify something, like you said (the date) and other personalized informations.
And I thank you again. This work around you found is almost perfect.
Now I have one screen of my N900 full of stock information. :)

Re: Stocks widget? Available?
 

Maybe my previous post was drowned out by the release of PR 1.3 but if anyone can help me out I would really appreciate it.
I do not understand how to install quote. if someone can tell me what to type in terminal it would go along way.

Thanks.

Hi everyone,

For those who have failed to install "quote", in order to install quote pearl script, you must have installed build-essential package to build the binaries files with configure, make and make install commnads.

1. Go to the link http://www.vivaphp.net/2010/09/compi...va-no-900.html and install the build tools. There is a complete desription step by step for how to do this.

2. Donwload the package quote-0.05.tar.gz from the creator page http://www.circlemud.org/~jelson/software/quote.

3. Unzip and extract into any folder what you want. It creates a folder with the same name of file.

~tmp/tar -xvf quote-0.05.tar.gz

4. Get into the create folder, configure, make and make install:

~tmp/cd quote-0.05
~tmp/quote-0.05/sudo gainroot
~tmp/quote-0.05/sh ./configure
~tmp/quote-0.05/make
~tmp/quote-0.05/make install

5. You can see in the folder /usr/local/bin a quote file installed, try with:

/usr/local/bin/./quote csco ibm

I hope that this help you!

Joseph.
