get a stock quote in open office calc

I used to (2 weeks ago) use "getquote" to get the value of a stock ticker symbol.  I noticed my OpenOffice Calc retirement tracking spreadsheet (I look at stock values after the news occasionally) quit working.  I also noticed my "=getquote("SGENX")" formula changed to:

=com.ejs.ooo.getquote.getquote("SGENX")

I didn't do that and neither way currently works.  How do I get stock values in OpenOffice Calc?

ltlbearand3: When I hover my mouse over the spreadsheet icon, the name libreoffice calc pops up.  

I go :
ubuntu 13.10: libreoffice calc -> Tools -> Extension manager ?????

I will try and to install this on a libre office machine tomorrow and test on my end.  Although I only have access to Windows boxes at this stage so I cannot do a full comparison.  

To me it looks like the extension is not installed.  Can you try to install it again?
I did what you said - i downloadedgetquote 1.1 and removed the other copy and reinstalled it.  It loos like it used to now.  Thanks.
