This is a bit of a work in progress; but this initial version is functional.

We needed a StockTicker (scrolling stock output) for a site we were doing. I found stockapi and the stock module. With a patch stockapi seemed to work but stock didn't and didn't look like it had a std ticker output format.

I whipped up the following module which uses the jStockTicker library and the StockAPI module. The formatting is not correct yet as the output is supposed to be a black background with multiple lines (which you can briefly see on initial page load). Should have that fixed by tomorrow and then may post this as an official project.

Nice work @liquidcms, we had to change data source in 7.x-2.x from yahoo to google finance.

Currently anyone on 7.x-1.x should upgrade to 7.x-2.x , upgrade path should be painless.

I'm guessing that your custom module will still work with 7.x-2.x

I will evaluate this and possibly include it as a sub module to the stockapi.

Thanks!
