this plasmoid should not use fixed precision to print the quotes.
some tickers require precision 2 ( most of them ) but others require precision 4 (usdeur=x).
you should keep the representation given by yahoo.

JACK
GOOG
COP
JACK won't show up whatever I do and oddly enough GOOG and COP will only show whichever is higher in the list. Anything else I've entered has been fine.
Can anyone else reproduce this? Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks for the widget.

Looking at the cpp code it appears that you using the qt interface for http interface (in a previous version it was KIO). This is the reason why the KDE proxy is not used. Do you have any plan to include the KDE proxy in a future version? BTW we are in KDE-look forum.

I fixed this is 2.1 by switching back to a KIO job.

Version 1 worked for me, version 2.0 doesn't. It doesn't display correclty. Text colour doesn't seem to be configurable anymore.
When clicking on an (empty) entry yahoo only displays a site containing the text: "Error: Please enter a ticker symbol."
I'll send you an eMail how it looks at my desktop

Behind a proxy nothing is displayed whilst the same configuration works on a network without a proxy.
Please reconsider using KIO again.
Thanks!

I've packaged this plasmoid for Ubuntu, and it is now in the official archive - https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plasmoid-stockquote

However, I have a few remarks concerning layout and functionality.
(1) Not enough space is provided for decription of the ticker symbols (for example ^DJIs description shows as 'Dow Jones Industr' - resizing does not change the situation).
(2) Currency quotes like 'EURDOL=X' don't show the changes (instead NAs are displayed)
(3) Would be nice if a click on a quote would open a link to yahoo finance.
(4) The style of the changes should maybe be displayed in the usual ticker form, i.e. absolute change (change in %), instead of absolute change- change in percent.
(5) In my opinion it would be better to to display full name of an asset bold and the ticker symbol in normal font (or in brackets). Not the other way around (or provide an option which makes this possible).
regards,
dawo

1. Unfortunately, the yahoo API I am using has already truncated the description.
2. Slightly confused about this, but will look into it in the future
3. Done in v2.0!
4. Done in v2.0!
5. Oops, missed this one, and I probably agree. Will consider this for v2.1.

Great plasmoid though. Very useful!

I am thinking about this for the next version as it is something that I would use as well. Not very hard from the display point of view, but requires a major rework on the configuration dialog which is currently quite simply.
