I would also love to see this for 6.x.
I'm using ACL which makes block caching inactive, but none of my blocks will refresh unless I manually clear the cache which is a huge pain.

Last night i rewrote some Code of this, so it works with Drupal 6.x. But i_ll give no guarantee.
An example is seen on
http://www.hazzardeur.de/
On the left side there's a random Number, refreshed every 15 Seconds. U can refresh it manually too.
This isn_t really a patch, just replace the old code by the new one.
edit: Please use the Attachment of #17.

dunkelfuerst i just downloaded your module but it says that it's not compatible is there another way to install it ?
#15
Sry, i forgot to change the .info-file.
Simply edit the .info-file and change the version to 6 or download the updated package:

Same thing i'm i missing something?
Block Refresh 6.x-1.x-dev Allows blocks to automatically refresh their content.
This version is incompatible with the 6.9 version of Drupal core.
#17
sry, i forgot a line
now it should work
sry for the inconvenience
#18
I've enabled the module configured it and tried to make a view block auto refreshable but nothing happened then i switched to manual refresh the icon appears but nothing change (i'm testing locally) i saw it on your website it's working pretty well. We need someone to test it maybe there's something wrong on my local server.
#19
Just tried it out.
Doesn't seem to work as expected.
I am using the Flag module to add/remove content from my favorites. I am also using a views block to display current users favorites.
I tried the manual refresh option and it didn't work.
#20
Seems to be a Problem with Views-Blocks. I'll try to fix it later this day/tomorrow.
#21
can't wait for it :p thanks dunkelfuerst
#22
Okay, i did a quick-n-dirty, but at least, it should work now with views-blocks, too.
I hope i didn't forget a line again. ;)
#23
It now works :)
Thanks a lot for the quick fix...
What I am trying to now do is integrate this with the Flag module so that whenever a user adds or removes a flag, it gets reflected in a view block on the same page as the node being flagged/unflagged.
The Flag module gives a handle to call a JS function whenever a flag is set/unset. I plan to do something like this:
When a user sets/unsets a flag, call Block Refresh's block_refresh_manual(div) function. But I am unsure what is the best way to pass the div argument.
Where is the block_refresh_add_button() function being called? Or what div do I have to pass to the block_refresh_manual(div) function?
#24
Look into the sourcecode of your site, where you can see the refreshing block. There'll be something like
$(document).ready(function() {_block_refresh_data['#block-block-1 .content'] = new block_refresh_data(30000, '/block_refresh/block/1');
block_refresh_timer('#block-block-1 .content'); block_refresh_add_button('block-block-1', '/block_refresh/block/1', '#block-block-1 .content');
})
'#block-block-1 .content' is the div your are searching for. (it will have a different name)
So, i if you want to refresh the block by yourself(or by the flag-module) simply call
block_refresh('#block-block-1 .content');, but with the name, which is given in your source. But make sure, that this is called AFTER the $(document).ready() has been called, otherwise it will not work.

Thanks, I got it working by calling this:
block_refresh_manual('block-views-<my-view-name>-block_1');#26
Does it works with eg,
<?php$block = module_invoke(views, 'block', 'view', 'block_1');
print $block['content'];
?>
? If not, Anyway to get it working with it? Thanks
#27
For some reason it's not working for me in 6.10
To test I created a custom block to display a random number in php...
I expected it to flash a different number in the block every 5 seconds but it does nothing.
The code is
<?php
echo rand(5, 15);
?>
I changed all my roles to access block refresh content but it doesnt refresh.
In fact in MSIE I get an error:
Line: 28
Char: 3
Error: '_block_refresh_data' is undefined
Code:0
URL: http://projectvibe.net/home
EDIT:
It works... I used the inner archive from the tar-gz file and it works instead of the outer one. Thanks!

Has anyone been able to use block refresh and exposed filters together? have user defined filter that will refresh and keep the filter.
for me, every time it refreshes the filters are lost.

I'm having trouble with getting the block refresh module to refresh a node.
I created a custom node that reads the xml file http://projectvibe.net/drupal_bridge/nowPlaying.xml. This xml file is updated every song change (usually takes 3-5 minutes for a new song to play).
My nowplaying block displays the information as a node on http://projectvibe.net/home/ (nowplaying block).
I have the nowplaying block to refresh every 10 seconds via the block refresh module. Theoretically it should read the xml file and display the updated info but block refresh just re-displays the old (cached) node. If you hit [F5] on the browser, it reads the xml file and displays the node/block properly.
Is there a way this module can be adjusted to read a fresh copy of the node (or any content) that's in the refreshing block instead of reading a cached copy?
Thanks,
Elliott

@arbel:
Do you have a site, where i can test it? Seems that you need a module for saving the exposed filter(http://drupal.org/project/views_savefilter), but there's no D6.x -version. But maybe i'm just missing some info here. ;)
@erdubya:
How is your block provided? Do you use direct php or is the block produced by a module? In the latter case, maybe following comment is helpful:

Hi,
Thanks for the help, I think the module is great.
Here's the link:
http://69.50.199.29/
you can use the exposed filter to change the node type and see that once it's refreshed it resets the filters.
on the exposed filter the setting to remember the filter is turned on.

any ideas on how the refresh module can save the exposed filters?

@dunkelfuerst I have a new problem. Fivestar doesn't show correctly with refresh.
I have custom code to display a changing node in a refreshing block. This node is a changing song (currently playing). At first everything appears correctly, specifically the fivestar module. Every time the block refreshes the song, the fivestar module doesn't display fully and is replaced by a drop down instead (perhaps the underlying voting api?).
To see for yourself, please go to http://projectvibe.net/home and notice the right sidebar with the refreshing song node and fivestar rating module. After refresh (manual or automatic) the fivestar disappears and is replaced by the dropdown.
Any suggestions on how this can be fixed?

Usually this module works superb on my Drupal 6 installs, thank you. My problem is that I always use a combination of Drupal 6 and Menalto Gallery 2.3 bridged by the gallery module from http://drupal.org/project/gallery However as soon as the Block Refresh module is enabled the gallery navigation block totally disappears when going to an embedded gallery page.
My example is a german website: http://www.goetting.de/de/multimedia In the sidebar on the right there's a "Multimedia-Bereich" block which is the embedded gallery navigation. As soon as Block Refresh is enabled that block disappears.
