The stockAPI module doesn't seem to update the stockapi table consistently.. although i have setup the seetings in the admin section to 15 mins and 100 stocks per cron update...

I've added a cronjob for executing cron.api every one minute but still, stock api doesn't seem to update :(

Okay, I've installed the Profile module to allow for custom fields. The fields show up fine when I register a new user. When I try to edit a profile, however, the fields don't show up. Any suggestions?

I tried doing this by enabling this text area for use with img_assist and then uploading the image, but I was only getting the img_assist code printed out.

Then I looked at Civicspace and realised that its mission statement image is in its themes folder (themes/civicspace/images) and that its page.tpl.php references this to print it out nicely.

Can anyone say if adding the following code from the civicspace theme to bluemarine's page.tpl.php will print out the image for the mission statement or whether I need to change the code?
