== Registering your Nickname ==<br />
# '''Choose a user name or nick'''. This user name should consist only of the letters from A-Z, the ciphers from 0-9 (but not as first character) and certain symbols such as "_" and "-". It may have a maximum of 16 characters. Please note that some nicknames are used internally and cannot be used. Also, please stay family friendly with your nicknames<br />
#'''Change your user name to the user name you have chosen'''. Suppose you chose the nick ''"applecake"''. Type the following in the window titled irc.mibbit.net:<br />
#:<code>/nick applecake</code><br />
# '''Register your nick or user name'''. Type the following command and replace ''your_password'' with a password that will be easy to remember and replace ''email@address.com'' with your correct email address (avoid yahoo and hotmail if you can, we get reports that they fail more often than not. Oddly enough, yahoo ''managed'' email, such as att/sbcglobal, seem to have no issues...)<br />
#:<code>/msg nickserv register ''your_password'' ''email@address.com''</code> <br />
#'''Get the confirmation code from your email inbox'''. Type the following command and replace ''confirmation_code'' with the code sent to you in the email.<br />
#:<code>/msg NickServ confirm ''confirmation_code''</code> <br />
#:If you want your email address to remain private, use the following command:<br />
#:<code>/msg nickserv set hide email on</code><br />
# '''Register an alternate nickname using the same password'''. If you would like to register an alternate nickname, repeat the same procedure, using steps 2 to 4. Alternatively type /ns GROUP mainNick mainPass (see /ns help group)<br />
#'''Identify with Nickserv'''. Each time you connect, you should sign in, or "identify" yourself, using the following command:<br />
#:<code>/msg nickserv identify ''your_password'' </code> ( or <code>/identify ''your_password''</code> on some servers )<br />
#'''Auto connect with mibbit:''' For your convience, if you are using the full http://www.mibbit.com version and are registered and logged in, you can add that nick and password to the "My Account" list to be auto-identified.<br />
( /ns is an alias for /msg nickserv on most clients )<br />
<br />
{{notice|If you get on the server (after registering) and someone else has taken your name: type in /msg NickServ GHOST <username> <password> to kick the user from your nickname. Then type /nick <username> to change your nick back!}}<br />

<hr />
<div>{{articles}}<br />
{{RightTOC|<span class="plainlinks">'''[http://mibbit.com/widget.html Widget Wizard]'''</span>}}<br />
If you'd like to have webchat on your own website, then you could use a Java applet (slow, ugly, and not very accessible), or you could use Mibbit! <br />
<br />
The first step, is to decide where you want your users to go. You can either create a channel on irc.mibbit.com or if you manage your own irc server, please contact Mibbit and ask for it to be authorized (see [[Enable_Mibbit_on_Your_IRC_Server]]).<br />
<br />
The basic URL for the Mibbit Widget is http://widget.mibbit.com/<br />
<br />
Some of the parameters you can pass are:<br />
<br />
* nick - If you do not specify this, a random one will be chosen, e.g., mib_6d7s8euf (which may mean you are blocked from networks or channels). You can use your own unique name, plus optional random ciphers like: myChat_%3F%3F ( which results in myChat_56 or similar).<br />
* channel - The channel(s) that the user will be directed to (defaults to #chat). <br />
* server - This defaults to irc.mibbit.com. <br />
* autoConnect=true - avoids the connect-form. Additionally an op (using the mibbit '''widget''') must set "/autoconnect on" in your channel.<br />
* settings - Unique "Prefs" ID (created using the Widget [[Manager]]). See also [[Widget#Widget_Configuration|Widget Configuration]] and [[Skins]].<br />
<br />
Full list of defaults: [[Uri_parameters]], example URL:<br />
<br />
<nowiki>http://widget.mibbit.com/?server=irc.freenode.net&nick=quodlibet%3F%3F%3F&channel=%23defocus&settings=c76462e5055bace06e32d325963b39f2</nowiki><br />
<br />
''Please note you must urlencode all parameters. So #foo becomes %23foo etc.''<br />
<br />
You can use the [http://widget.mibbit.com/manager Widget-Manager] to create a link for an [[#Linking_Through_Iframe|iframe]] or for a [[#Linking_Through_Popup|popup]]. If you need to test your widget, see [http://irc.mibbit.com/widget-uri-creator/].<br />
<br />
<br />
==Widget Configuration==<br />
Widget configuration is best done through passing a unique settings ID to the widget. To do this, create an account at the [http://widget.mibbit.com/manager/ Widget-Manager]. Then go into the preferences and change the settings to how you want your widget to appear. At the top of the preferences screen there will be a unique ID for your settings (like 7ca12664887d4b6e7a0fa6552f9e0de6). This should be passed to the widget using the <code>&settings=theID</code>. Example:<br />
<nowiki>http://widget.mibbit.com/?settings=7ca12664887d4b6e7a0fa6552f9e0de6&server=irc.blah.com&channel=%23myChan</nowiki><br />
<br />
===Widget parameters===<br />
There are many parameters that can be added to the widget by adding them to the URL. For example:<br />
<br />
<nowiki><br />
<a href="http://widget.mibbit.com/<br />
?server=irc.freenode.net<br />
&nick=wdg_user_%3F%3F%3F<br />
&channel=%23MibChat<br />
&customprompt=Welcome%20To%20MibChat<br />
&customloading=maybe%20you%20need%20to%20close%20other%20Mibbit%20windows%20first...<br />
&settings=22041f31cac0adf2d1959cdc21aed853" <br />
target="_blank">start MibChat on irc.freenode.net (new window)</a><br />
</nowiki><br />
<br />
View the full parameter lists: [[Uri_parameters]]<br />
<br />
=== Enable Autoconnect For Widget ===<br />
<br />
Make sure that if you are doing this, make sure you are '''using the Mibbit widget''', and have operator status or higher (if you use the main client it takes an hour to take effect). This works for any server.<br />
<br />
# Send the command '''/autoconnect on''' (only '''once''') in your channel<br />
# Add &autoConnect=true to the widget's URI<br />
# If necessary, remove the old &forcePrompt=xxx from the URI<br />
<br />
Please note that autoconnect is set '''per channel'''. If you use a widget for multiple channels, you need to send the "/autoconnect on" command to each of them.<br />
<br />
==Linking to Widgets==<br />
There are two main ways to link to the Mibbit Widget, and one fringe way.<br />
<br />
===Linking Through Iframe===<br />
Make sure your page has a DTD setup, otherwise IE will not work properly. Place this code at the top of your page:<br />
<nowiki><!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"></nowiki><br />
Then place this code where you want the chat widget to appear:<br />
<nowiki><iframe width="600" height="380" scrolling="no" frameborder="0"<br />
src="http://widget.mibbit.com/?channel=%23my_chat&nick=choose_one"><br />
</iframe><br />
type /nick to change your Nick name,</nowiki> /help, /cs help,<br />
/ns help, or /ms help for available commands<br />
<br />
''Be sure to change the server and channel to your chatroom''<br />
<br />
''See also:'' [[Advanced iframe]] using PHP to pre-fill a nick like "prefix_<randompart>"<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<code><a href='#freenode/test' <br />
onclick='window.open("http://widget.mibbit.com/?server=irc.freenode.net&channel=%23test&settings=7ca12664887d4b6e7a0fa6552f9e0de6","","width=999,height=555")'><br />
Join our "#test" chat on Freenode (popup)</a></code><br />
<br />
''The javascript must be on one line.'' Be sure to change the server, channel and settings to your chatroom/preferences. The Widget URL can be shrunk (and obfuscated a bit) by the "Minify URL" link underneath the input bar. The resulting minified url from the example above: http://mibbit.com/url/MrIezS .<br />
<br />
===Linking Through Object Tag===<br />
<br />
'''Does not work in Internet Explorer.''' Use as a last resort.<br />
<br />
Copy and place this into your HTML for it to work:<br />
<br />
<object id="chat" type="text/html" data=" http://widget.mibbit.com/index.html?server=irc.mibbit.com"></object><br />
<br />
To degrade correctly in IE, place text between the object tags, e.g., "We're sorry, you use a non-standards-compliant browser", and that will be shown instead of a blank spot.<br />
<br />
