Unable to retrieve stock quote

Hi, I've entered in the index.php file

$defaultSymbol = "PSHG_p.MU";

for Porsche AG. However in the Stock block I don't get a quote after having clicked 'live quotes'. The only two which pop up are ^DJI & ^IXIC.

Anybody knows what I am doing wrong?

Additionally I must say that the performace is quite slow when clicking on live quotes. Is that normal or is there a way to speed it up?

I'm running postnuke 0.726.

Thanks for any support,

Geert

The performance on phpnuke has no problems and on postnuke (version I developed on) never has had, so I wouldn't know why. For instance, try it on my site to see the performance.

As to the Stock issue, I'm a little confused. You're talking index.php which is the module, not the block. The block is a separate application. The block is a quick summary based on the setup in the blocks code and the module is the detailed information on a given stock. To see the module, you need to select the Stock Quote hyperlink from your Modules list (on the left) or click on one of the stocks in the block.

Ok, now I'm confused as well. I've entered in the module configuration (index.php) the default stock quote. Isn't this one replicated automatically to the block? If not, how I can display only a number predefined stock quotes in the block as opposed to the above?

Thx, G

From the block code

Code:

// Symbols for unregistered users or users with no entries in the nuke database
$DEFAULT_SYMBOL = "^DJI,^IXIC";

These are the stocks you want listed for nonregistered users. Registered users will have theirs pulled from the database if they have saved any. This is the quick summary list where you can click the hyperlink to open up the detailed view in the module. The module is where the details, shares, history, etc. is maintained.
