Stocks

@ZTA0796 The object that you get int the stocks.js is the deserialized javascript object. In your case it’s going to be a single row object. You could just access the properties list this:

this.result.symbol, this.result.price, etc…

@alexyak So that’s what I expected as well. Unfortunately, it is somehow getting messed up between the “socketNotificationReceived” function and the “getDom” function.

socketNotificationReceived: function(notification, payload) {
    if (notification === "STOCKS_RESULT") {
        this.result = payload;
        console.log(this.result);  //prints my JSON correctly console
        this.updateDom(self.config.fadeSpeed);
    }

So the above works correctly. Below, however, it doesn’t seem to maintain and I can’t figure out why.

getDom: function() {

    var wrapper = document.createElement("table");
    wrapper.className = 'normal regular small';
    
    var count = 0;

    var _this = this;

	console.log("result is " + this.result); //prints "result is [object Object]"
	console.log("result length is " + this.result.length); //prints "result length is 0"
	console.log(this.symbol);  //prints "undefined"
    }

I apologize if I’m being thick, but I can’t figure out why it’s not working…

Ok, so I think i figured it out. Still not sure why it worked, but for some reason, running a console.log("descriptive text " + this) seems to corrupt or change the type of “this”. If I put two consecutive console.log() calls–first with descriptive text, second with just “this”–then it works. Basically in the example above, if I just comment out the first two console.log() calls, then it no longer prints “undefined” and instead prints “MSFT”. Sorry for all the trouble!

Several weeks ago this module seemed to stop working. It doesn’t generate any errors, just won’t display. Has anyone else seen this?

Thanks, Dave

At first glance, putting the url into a browser results in a 404 error

The url in the module no longer works… it won’t give an error it’s a 404 error…

I’m seeing if I can find a url replacement…

@alexyak
can’t seem to get this updating on the MM display, any ideas? Was there any change to the original code?

@cowboysdude
Did you find a working URL replacement?
Have you been using another Stocks module instead?

cowboysdude

@homebrew No sorry I haven’t. I don’t use stock modules :) I don’t do stocks LOL

BUT if you can find a url that works I can look at the module for you…
