As my data.php does not reside in /flashchart, but /stock, and I’m still seeing the same error. Settings.php should be calling data.php like it does on your site here, but it’s not doing it right on my site.

SWFObject is not defined
Line 18

Line 18 is:
var so = new SWFObject(“amstock.swf”, “amstock”, “550″, “300″, “8″, “#FFFFFF”);

Indian stock market offers lot of earning opportunities still many less traders earn from it. Now the question is who earns from the share trading? To be honest only those who rely on stock research as no one can earn big by speculating in the market.

Saw the updated page on your “Creating High Quality Stock Chart With Flash”. Thank you for the credit on your blog. I appreciate your efforts on sharing the implementation codes, its a lot of help to self learners like me.

Further also noted your comment on my post on your blog. After a lot of googling I had figured out two things:

1) The first 15 lines need to be deleted
2) Timestamp needs to be converted into Date format of YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm

For the first point I guess in the settings.php there is an option 15, would this do the trick? Don’t know yet as my chart is still not rendering.
I’ll try your way of of doing a substr in the data.php itself, although currently I have no idea how to!!…. Google is like god to me :-0

For the second point (its a major issue) amcharts does not accept timestamps it only accepts date format of YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm, so how do I convert time stamp which is a 10digit number into YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm format.

If you have little time on your hand, maybe you can guide me.

Thanks for providing the intraday data link. I never realized one was available. I have updated my original post.

You are right, AM Chart cannot read the csv file since the data is formatted differently from the historical data csv. You will need to modify the data.php to format the intraday csv. There are a bunch of info before the series data start so you will have to remove the first 15 lines of the $output variable. With the historical data it is easy to format we just remove the first line with a search and replace (ie: str_replace). In the intraday data it is a bit harder because the first 15 lines aren’t static strings so we cannot do a simple search and replace. There are many ways to remove those first 15 lines. One way is probably to count the first 15 newlines (“\n”) and do a substr(from the next character position of the 15th \n, to the character position off the last value in the csv). I’ll leave you with the details of figuring that out. Below is a snippit of the csv and you’ll see why you need to remove the first 15 lines.

After you use php to remove the first 15 lines you will also have to edit the columns in the settings.php file because the order of the data is different. In the intraday the order is: Timestamp,close,high,low,open,volume. Where in the historical csv it is: Date,Open,High,Low,Close,Volume,Adj Close.

Let me know if that helps.

I have managed to get historical prices running in Joomla, using your above tutorial. Given that i’m a total noob at php, i just followed your advice to the T and voila, historical charts are now working.

Now i wanted to get the intraday charts incorporated into the site and i just replaced:
http://ichart.finance.yahoo.com/table.csv?s=“.$symbol
with
ScrapePage(“http://chartapi.finance.yahoo.com/instrument/1.0/. $symbol ./chartdata;type=quote;range=1d/csv/”)

The chart is displaying but there are no lines (graphs) i believe the amchart is not reading the csv file correctly.
I guess i have to ammend the settings.php, but cant seem to get a handle on this, Can you please kindly guide me to get this working.
