Uri parameters
You can control the look/behavior of mibbit by calling it with various parameters in the uri ("GET"):
widget
- authmethod= (default: nickserv, alternatives: auth or pass)
- autoConnect=false (new as of 2008-10-26, see Autoconnect).
- channel= (default: %23chat, even a comma separated channel list like %23ch1,%23ch2%20key1,key2 is possible)
- charset= (default: UTF-8)
- customloading=maybe%20you%20need%20to%20close%20other%20Mibbit%20windows%20first...
- customprompt=Welcome%20To%20MyChat
- debug=(default: false); true opens a Log-tab
- nick=prefix_%3F%3F%3F%3F (%3F=?, representing a random digit)
- noServerMotd= (default: false)
- noServerNotices= (default: false)
- noServerTab= (default: true)
- promptChannelKey= (true: prompt for a channel password)
- promptPass= (true: ask for a password, see authmethod)
- server= (default: irc.mibbit.net)
- settings=id (id taken from a widget-manager-account: "My Prefs", see Skins)
examples (just right-click and open in a new window for testing):
http://widget.mibbit.com/?promptPass=true&settings=ccfb0b22251ba27444e43fa1b9997c6f http://widget.mibbit.com/?channel=%23test&noServerTab=false&nick=MibWid%3F%3F%3F http://widget.mibbit.com/?server=irc.freenode.net&channel=%23test https://widget.mibbit.com/?channel=%23mibbit&autoConnect=true
You can use the Widget-manager to create/preview a skin and the URI creator to create an iframe code snippet.
main client
these will only result in a pre-filled connect form:
- server= (both server and channel must be provided!)
- channel= (you even can submit a comma separated channel list like %23chat,%23test)
- nick= (if empty a random nick like "mib_3Zh5F4" will be presented)
example:
https://www.mibbit.com/?server=irc.mibbit.net&channel=%23mibbit,%23chat&nick=yourNickHere
or (used for the Firefox IRC handler):
- url=<urlencoded irc://server/#channel>
example:
https://www.mibbit.com/?url=irc%3A%2F%2Firc.freenode.net%2f%23defocus
other valid parameters:
- debug=(default: false); true opens a Log-tab (/debug as command works as well)
- rcharset=AUTO (undocumented, auto-detects utf8 and iso-8859-1)
