Refresh in Joomla

Question

Hi, i have a Joomla site on a Apache/2.2.9 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.9 server and i would like it to refresh the page at 1 miniute past each hour to ensure the latest articles are shown, this is a radio website so listeners often have their browser open on the site for hours at a time. Can this snippet be adapted to refresh at 1 miniute past each hour?

function refreshAt(hours, minutes, seconds) { 
var now = new Date(); 
var then = new Date(); 

if(now.getHours() > hours || 
   (now.getHours() == hours && now.getMinutes() > minutes) || 
    now.getHours() == hours && now.getMinutes() == minutes && now.getSeconds() >= seconds) { 
    then.setDate(now.getDate() + 1); 
} 
then.setHours(hours); 
then.setMinutes(minutes); 
then.setSeconds(seconds); 

var timeout = (then.getTime() - now.getTime()); 
setTimeout(function() { window.location.reload(true); }, timeout); 

}

Thanks

You are already loading the pages in to a frame, no point in making this harder than it should be, just use a meta refresh set to 20 minutes or so.

i solved it in the end using this script, setting it to 1hr and uploading it 1 minute past... Simples

//enter refresh time in "minutes:seconds" Minutes should range from 0 to inifinity. Seconds should range from 0 to 59 var limit="60:0"

if (document.images){ var parselimit=limit.split(":") parselimit=parselimit[0]*60+parselimit[1]*1 } function beginrefresh(){ if (!document.images) return if (parselimit==1) window.location.reload() else{ parselimit-=1 curmin=Math.floor(parselimit/60) cursec=parselimit%60 if (curmin!=0) curtime=curmin+" minutes and "+cursec+" seconds left until page refresh!" else curtime=cursec+" seconds left until page refresh!" window.status=curtime setTimeout("beginrefresh()",1000) } }

window.onload=beginrefresh
