As the name implies, Block Refresh allows an administrator to configure a block to refresh it's content in a given number of seconds. Block Refresh uses jQuery/AJAX so the refresh happens "behind-the-scenes".

Please submit any feature requests in the issues queue.

Current Features:

- Automatically refresh a block in a set number of seconds (configurable per block)

- Allow site visitor to manually refresh block (configurable per block)

Usage

To use, install Block Refresh as other normal modules. Once installed go to admin/build/block (admin/structure/block in Drupal 7) and click "configure" on the block you want to setup to refresh. There will be a section for Block Refresh. Select the options you would like and click "Save Block". Your block should now be ready to Refresh!
Be sure to set appropriate permissions at admin/user/permissions (admin/people/permissions in Drupal 7)
