Stock ticker?
 

Are there any free homepage apps that list stocks? customizable?

PocketStock Center should work on the 6700..not quite at 1.0 final yet with a CAB install but coming soon.

More details here: http://discussion.treocentral.com/sh...d.php?t=141737

Good app, but no today screen application other then setting a hard key. Im more looking for an app to put the information on the today screen.

edit: it says it shows the info on the carrier line, what is the carrier line?

The carrier line is the line on your today screen that says either Sprint or Verizon (e.g., it'll put the info on your today screen).

look here for screen shot:

my phone does not have a carrier line. is it only the palms that have this?

Let me update what's out there so you can use the Billboard today plugin...I have been holding off until I can get the CAB installer all set up to make this a little easier..

Done... 1.1 beta is available now with support for the Billboard today plugin.

When i copy and paste the PocktStock file into my program folder I get an error

Unknown command 'clear'

Line:
Clear(SelectionStocks)

I didnt get this with 1.0

okay nevermind on that, I just deleted the line and it worked.

now however even when i have billboard stocks activated, and ive added my stock etc, it doesnt display.

you need to ensure you have the latest version of mortscript (401b14) installed which I included in the zip over on TC. The "clear" command was added in the most recent version which helped fix the issue when deleting stocks and them still showing up in the main UI..

As for the stocks not displaying in the plugin, can you check the auto update start and end times? By default it's set to end at 4PM Eastern which might explain it.

ah okay, I will test again now.

Outstanding!!!! works perfectly!!!

two suggestions:

1: Allow the text color to be changed
2: if you can allow detailed information to be populated when you click the billboard plugin.

Now I gotta figure out how to make this work inside of rltoday...mmmm

okay, dont know why im having issues with this, but I restarted my phone and now I cannot seem to get it to work.

Billboard cab uninstalled it self. i reinstalled it, the mortscript app stopped working, so i reinstalled it.

now I cant get the info to display on the billboard line...

I install the ticker but it locked up my phone.
I dont think PSPB Mobile Shell likes the Mort program.

Any alternatives?

got it all worked out, something with my phone not the app.

Great program man, outstanding, now just to get it to do sports scores and you have a real gem here.

I do...it's called Pocket SportsCenter ;)

Version History

1.3 - 21-AUG-2007

-- Added: Dow Jones and Nasdaq Composite added to initial stocks

-- Added: Installing new version will allow you to maintain your stocks and preferences if you choose to, instead of reconfiguring everything each time a new version is posted.

-- Added: Prevent user from setting the autoupdate start time after the end time or vice versa (end time before the start time)

1.2 - 16-Aug-2007

Added: CAB Installation Availability

Added: Set Colors for Quotes (up, down, and even)
Added: View Extended Quote using the today plugin

late,
Coz

I installed it, and it says the today plugin is enabled, but I'm not seeing it.
Is there something else I need to do?
Thanks

Edit - Nevermind, I had installed to ext. rom, and moved it to main. Now it works!

Okay, now I've added three stocks, but this is all I get in the today screen plug in. The choice to activate or deactivate, but not the stocks?

The default start and end times for autoupdates are 7AM to 1PM (I really shoulda changed this to midnight to 11PM by default, note to self for next rev), so since it's after that, it's won't stay activated until you go into the app and change the start/end times to what you want.

Changed start and end, only shows the same as above. Guess it won't work for me.

Downloaded PocketSportsCenter and works great. Had to mess around w/ it a little so i knew wat everything did. After messing around/changing the settings a few times and soft resetting it a few times everything works good. I took a screen shot of the NFL ticker, even though the games haven't started i love how it shows the time of the upcoming games..

One thing i did wanna know is, is there anyway to turn off live update and still have the ticker go through each team. 'cause when i leave the auto updater off it just says "PocketSportsCenter" on the today screen, instead of it cycling through the teams...

Once you changed the start and end times, on the today screen tap the line and choose Activate autoupdates or choose enable autoupdates in the app itself and it should start working

Will have to look into adding this as another option.

Did that, and nothing, just says autoupdates activated, nothing else. Yet if I go into the settings I can see the full stock quote, nothing happens on today screen though.

hmm... does it change back to autoupdates deactivated or does it just hang as activated...?

Can you let me know what you set the start and end times to?

If it is just hanging as activated, let's try this. Click on the plugin and set it to deactivated.

Then, in a file explorer (like the stock one or resco explorer), navigate to the Pocket StockCenter folder. In there, click on the Mortscript.exe file. A small message window will open and you can just click ok to close it. Once that's done, go back to the today screen and try to reactivate autoupdates and see if that makes a difference.

Thx

Thanks scottymomo, 'cause a selection for "manual update" would b great, so that way i can update the scores when ever i wanted, (like thurs night, sat night, sund night and then again mond. night) so that way i get the scroes for the week and then it can just cycle through the info it has till i update again. I'll keep an eye on the post.... def. a great app. love how it even displays the teams even when the phone is locked (in the first pic on my previous post) LOVE IT!!

Catman... keep messing w/ the script, even though the ticker is for stocks (as to my download being for sports) i'm sure they work the same way and I had a little trouble getting the cycle to work, the ticker to work and such... but after a few tries and soft resets everything was working good.

I even have another script (thanks to emunutz) which changed the carrier name to anything i wanted, and i put that in the phone a few days before this script and that still works w/ the sports update.

but yea, soft resets and messing w/ the script and hopefuly it'll b good.

catman, did you enable the today plugin from within the app or from today settings? If the latter, that would explain it. you can go back into the app and hit enable today plugin option then try again

I did it from within the app. The today screen options wouldn't allow me to get to the options for the app.
It does allow me to switch on the today screen from active to non active, so it's not that.
I'll have to try the mortscript thing and let you know.

Hey, Thanks. Clicking on MortScript did it. It works!
Thank you

good to know. will fix that in the next release

Pocket StockCenter 1.4 available
 

1.4 changes

Added: Option to enable today plugin during fresh installation or if you choose not to upgrade old data

Added: Ability to pause/unpause autoupdates on the today screen so the quotes cycle through but updates are not retrieved

Fixed: Ensure links to start autoupdates, removing notifications etc work properly

Fixed: Initial preferences have the start and end times from midnight to 11PM

Here's the latest cab (version 1.4) for ease of installation.

Thanks for all your great work on this Scotty!!!!

late,

scottymomo I think i have a prob. now w/ PocketSportsCenter... Ok so I posted 2 screenshots yesterday (a few posts up) , and everything was running great, and then last night, when it went to do an update it said some error and that PocektSportsCenter can't be opened (i don't remember the exact problem) so I went into \Programs\PocektSportsCenter and clicked on the mortscript thinking that might fix it... and that didn't do the trick so i uninstalled and reinstalled and that didnt' work, and on top of that if i was to install it to the carrier line, my calender wouldn't display any appointment, but if changed the settings to have it displayed as a today plug in, then the calender would work, but either way I wouldnt' get any info. So after installing and uninstalling a few times i said w/e. So i tried it today and it connected fine and everything but now I get all these weird info on the display.... I've posted the "crazy" screen *Image left* and the screen from yest *Image right* (when it was working great, before it gave me the error)... Got any idea wat happened? Also when i go into PocketSportsCenter (from start menu->programs) and i click on "NFL" *cause that's the only thing i'm displaying* the teams and info r the same as wat the "crazy" screen is showing.

look in the sportscenter thread for the latest update to that app.

As for this one,

note, there's an issue with this version if you do a fresh install and enable the today plugin during installation, if you use a tabbed today plugin like SPB Mobile Shell or Diary. to resolve currently, just enable the today plugin in the app and it should work fine if you then move the plugin into a tab

The new version is excellent! Thank you

There may also be an issue on some WM6 devices if you enable the today plugin upon install, where the install freezes while attempting to redraw the today screen...
