This hasn't started properly Well, one can certainly 'hard-code' new data sources into it. The idea of 'pluggable' is to make it easier to add more sources more easily. There is nothing that prevents you from adding teledata sources now. --linas

There are the informations I am looking for. Would it be possible to use that site with the gnc-prices program ? gnc-prices doesn't actually fetch the data directly, that is done by a perl module Quote.pm. This module has recently been broken out into a separate project, located at http://sourceforge.net/project/?group_id=4232 You might try contacting the developers there to see if anyone is interested in adding that site as a quote source. dave -- Gnucash Developer's List To unsubscribe send empty email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

According to Reinhold Schoeb [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi all, I would like to use gnc-prices not only to get stock quotes, but also German mutual font quotes. Does anyone know which ticker symbols and which quote source I could use. Try www.boursorama.com (it is in French). Awfully, seems to require JavaScript (yeak). I couldn't find on Yahoo.

Hi all, I would like to use gnc-prices not only to get stock quotes, but also German mutual font quotes. Does anyone know which ticker symbols and which quote source I could use. I would presume the only source that might have those that we currently support would be 'Yahoo Europe'. There are good explanations of using the quote source and ticker symbols under the 'Help' item, listed under 'Stock Ticker'. As far as finding the ticker symbol, you might try going to the yahoo europe home page, going to the financial section, and searching for the mututal fund. The page is at: http://finance.fr.yahoo.com dave -- Gnucash Developer's List To unsubscribe send empty email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
