{l_trade_df} - Last trade time default format e.g. "4:00PM EDT"

Extended (after hours) trade data (if available):

{e_change_p} - Price change in %

{/exp:google_finance_ee}

Note: Plugin offeres own caching mechanism, available via “refresh” parameter. For best performance use both Expression Engine AND plugin caching together.

What is the folder structure for installation?

Not sure what you mean…

Plugin should sit in (as do all third party addons):
/system/expressionengine/third_party/

In other words you should end up with something like this:
/system/expressionengine/third_party/google_finance_ee/pi.google_finance_ee.php

Also, if you plan to use caching option (“refresh” parameter) make sure that the cache directory is writeable (it should be anyway) - as the plugin will try to create own cache there:
/system/expressionengine/cache/google_finance_ee_cache/

The folder name (google_finance_ee) might not be obvious to a lot of people 😊

I see 😊

Do you think it makes sense to zip the entire directory structure?

ie

google_finance_ee.zip
/system/expressionengine/third_party/google_finance_ee/pi.google_finance_ee.php

Wow thanks for posting this. You literally just saved me big time.

Yeah, that would probaby help make things more obvious.

Second, I have PHP 5.2+ but the plugin doesn’t seem to be processing the tags. Any ideas?

I found the problem.

In the example… the closing tag is incorrect.

{/exp:google_finance_ee}

should be

{/exp:google_finance_ee:quote}

I was just wondering what the current status is of this plugin. If it’s still up-to-date and works with the latest version of EE then it will help me a lot. Thanks!

Is this plugin still supported as I can’t get it to work.

I get the following error message -

Fatal error: Call to undefined function json_decode() in .../third_party/google_finance_ee/pi.google_finance_ee.php on line 96

Also, does it support London Stock Exchange listed Plcs as well?

thanks this code will help me

wow this is usefull code
