Joomla Stocks Extension

Why People Love Elfsight

Wouldn’t it be nice if your Joomla website could display up-to-the-minute market numbers without any heavy lifting? That’s exactly what our stocks widget does. It brings live prices, day change, and clean mini-charts right where your visitors already are – your articles, sidebars, and footers.

Here’s the fun part – installation feels like snapping a LEGO block into place. Copy a tiny code, paste it into a Custom Module (or an article), publish, and you’re rolling. A local advisors’ blog told us they parked a slim ticker next to their “Morning Brief” and comments jumped overnight – a tiny tweak with a big impact.

Did you know that, according to Statista, over 150 million people in the U.S. check investment and stock information online? Put that context on your pages and keep readers engaged without sending them elsewhere.

Give it a try today – it takes just a couple of clicks and instantly makes your content more helpful.

Key Features of the Stocks Widget

• Live market data – Prices and changes refresh automatically, so your audience always sees what’s moving right now.
• Multiple tickers in one view – Curate a compact watchlist of companies or indices without cluttering your layout.
• Two display styles – Choose a subtle ticker for headlines or a detailed card with a mini chart for deeper context.
• Made to match your theme – Tweak colors, fonts, spacing, and corner radius so it blends with your Joomla design from day one.
• No coding required – Works even if you’re not technical. Updating symbols later takes seconds.
• Mobile-ready and lightweight – Looks crisp on phones and loads asynchronously to keep pages speedy.

How to Add the Stocks Widget to Joomla

Whether you want an inline block inside content or a floating ticker that’s visible everywhere, you’ll be done in minutes.

1. Create your widget in the Elfsight Editor.
   Pick companies or indices, choose layout (ticker or detailed), adjust style, and preview.
2. Copy your installation code.
   We generate a small snippet – that’s your entire setup.
3. Inline in a module position (sidebar, footer, etc.).
   Joomla Admin → Content → Site Modules (or Extensions → Modules) → New → select Custom → paste the code into the editor (use the HTML/source view) → choose a Position → assign to pages → Save & Close.
4. Inline inside an article.
   Open your article → switch the editor to HTML/source mode → paste the code where you want the widget → save. Perfect for market commentary pieces.
5. Floating across the whole website (optional).
   Create a Custom module, paste the code, assign it to a global position (e.g., footer or a top banner). If your template supports sticky positions, enable them, or add a simple “fixed” class per your template’s settings.
6. Publish and check.
   Refresh your page – live prices should appear immediately.
