gold ticker?

[ElideN]

is there a precious metal ticker?

http://www.quote.com/us/futures/metals.action

kinda wanna use this link but it dont work with dick's stock tickers.

[jsmorley]

Don't know of one. Guess you could write a skin that parses that website, but unless there is an RSS or ATOM feed available, that is a recipe for failure over time. Screen scrapping a website is a bad way to go.

[ElideN]

i found 3 stock tickers but it dunno how to use these url in there.

stock ticker:
http://customize.org/rainmeter/skins/70454
http://customize.org/rainmeter/skins/61266
http://customize.org/rainmeter/skins/63619

gold and silver url:
http://www.quote.com/us/futures/chart.action?s=GC+Z0
http://www.quote.com/us/futures/chart.action?s=SI+Z0

i tried posting it where the quote would be but when i refresh the skin it turns out blank. maybe u can figure it out.

[ElideN]

my aim is elidenk

my vent is hard2own.dyndns.org 3784

[shiraz07]

I modded the Market Prices skin so it will track Gold (XA-USD) and Silver (XAG-USD) spot prices on it's ticker.

I couldn't attach the skin .ini file so I put it on nopaste. Just download the Market Prices skin, if you haven't yet, an open the MarketPricesB-8quotes.ini in the MarketPrices skin folder and replace it with the code from the nopaste link.

Enjoy!

skin just shows dow, s&p etc and gold/silver at the button, but all prices are 0

so now with gnometer properly installed and bitcointicker working, the hacked script you posted still unfortunately doesn't work.

I've replaced MarketPricesB-8quotes.ini with your code. When loading skin it doesn't appear. Same when I made a new folder in rainmeter\skin and created a .ini with your code.

please provide install instructions.

edit: but ofc, file needs to be placed in subfolder of gnometer, cheers!
