Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.
The refresh module adds the functionality to have the "node display page" automatically refresh (using a meta refresh) using a (per node) configurable number of seconds.
The module hooks into nodeapi/view so refreshing only occurs when actually displaying a node, not when editing one or accessing the admin pages.
Installation and configuration
After installing and enabling the module, you can set permissions at: admin/user/permissions
Users with sufficient permissions can set the refresh period when editing a node.
There is a module configuration page available at: admin/config/user-interface/refresh providing options for a global refresh value and the option to refresh all pages, even non-nodes.
Compatibility of the refresh meta tag
Please note that some web browsers do not honor a refresh meta tag (for example: Mobile Safari). No workaround is implemented yet.
