Using std version of KISSQ

I really like how this looks, so great job to the person who wrote it! I'm not using any nuke and just running off a plain website. I saw that I have to provide my own way of authenticating my username and password with yahoo. Has anyone else already done this? I'd love to keep using KISSQ, but I'm not a programmer wouldn't even know where to begin on this. Thanks!

I (Raven) wrote this. Thanks for the kudos Wink

Yes, there are many who have done this. They usually have a site with a membership script of some kind already in place. If you have none, you might take a look at

Raven,

You're awesome. I love how this script works. Smile

I will spend some time looking at hotscripts.com (that's where I found your awesome program) and if I can't find anything that works, I'd be very happy if someone could help me. I'll even donate $20's to your support. Smile

Thanks again for the fast response. Smile

Raven,

Thanks so much for your help. Smile

I really couldn't find anything on how to make a login for the stock ticker to work on my site. I guess it's because I don't really know what I'm looking for. Anyway, I've donated $20 from my

email address. I think you have a great nuke and with that I had a need to set this kind of site up... Smile

Would you mind helping me out in finding a way to reach my yahoo finance place? Thanks again for your help and keep up the great work!

I'm heading into bed but I'll contact you tomorrow. Are you just wanting to be able to display your personal picks? If that's all the that's pretty easy. And thanks for the donation!

Raven,

Thanks for the great response speed... Smile

I think it would be awesome if anyone who came to my site could put in the symbol number and see what any stock is going for, but if I could at least just put mine in, that would be good enough. Smile

I like to track about 10 stocks. Besides, I don't think anyone would come to my site just for stock info when there are tons of sites that already do it. Thanks again!!

Mike

PS) I don't need this right away. My first son was born on Monday and this has become a side job!

I had thrown together a quick-n-dirty fix for you but I really wasn't happy with it. So, I'm working on a more formal presentation and I will release it then - shortly Wink

Just wonder if you've had a chance to work on it. Smile

Not pushing you, just excited. Smile

I may have to fall back on the other fix. I've been exceptionally busy since I last responded. I'll try to take a look at this todat.

Okay, give this a shot Wink

Find

Code:

if (!isset($username)) $username = "";

and change it to

Code:

if (!isset($username)) $username = "";

// Begin quick and dirty hack to allow an admin to maintain a portfolio without a registration system
$submit = strip_tags($HTTP_POST_VARS[actionSubmit]);
$username = 'USERNAME'; //Change this to your username in your portfolio table
$userpass = 'PassWord';
if ($submit=="Update Portfolio"||$submit=="Add to Portfolio"||$submit=="Delete From Portfolio") {
if (!($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']==$username && $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW']==$userpass)) {
   header("WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm=Restricted");
   header("HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized");
   die('Authorization is required for this function.');
}
}
// End quick and dirty hack to allow an admin to maintain a portfolio without a registration system

Now this is not a secure way to do this. The reason is that your username and password are hardcoded into the script. While noone will be able to know this infor unless they can read your index.html file, you should probably store it in a file somewhere else and read the file into the script. But, it is reasonably safe. Let me know Smile

Wow Raven! This is exactly what I wanted. Smile

Thank you so much for taking the time to do this!

I think I found a bug... Smile

When I try to remove a symbol I get this error:

Warning: mysql_query(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /home/mjjohnst/public_html/stocks/index.php on line 369

ERROR while deleting record.

It works perfectly here. I also know it is working on thousands of non-nuke sites, so I would suspect that something else is causing it, Maybe the user code is somehow interferring? Pleas post what line 369 is.
