RokStock: Setup Guide

User Controls

Users have the ability to add their own stocks to the widget from the frontend without having to have administrative access. You can define what, exactly, users can and can not do with the widget in cases where you want to display only what you have pre-selected to appear on RokStock.

Users can add new stocks, remove the default ones (configured by you on the backend), and refresh the widget to pull the most current information available.

A cookie enables users to maintain their specific settings after leaving the page so their experience picks up where they left off upon returning.

Widget Options

You can access RokStock's main widget settings by navigating to Admin -> Plugins -> RokStock. Any changes you make here will be reflected in any occurrences of the RokStock widget on the frontend of your site.

Default Stocks

The widget displays the stock information of a valid stock title. This option decides what stock information is displayed in the widget. Separate stock titles by a comma to show multiple stocks. For example, .DJI, .INX, .IXIC will display stock information from Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500 INDEX, and NASDAQ COMPOSITE.
