The Preview tab lets users get a URL for linking to on web pages.  Pick the server, pick the channel, and choose which options that are enabled or disabled.  It does not actually show the widget for previewing, but it gives a link (in blue) below the white box for the [[Widget#Linking_to_Widgets|code]] on web pages.

Say one wanted to link to irc.mibbit.com/mibbit, (note that these are defaulted, and putting them into the manager takes the values out of the link if you put them in) in the server textbox, that person would place "irc.mibbit.com" and in the channel textbox, that person would put "#mibbit".

The Mibbit Widget Manager allows web masters to manage the settings (e.g., colors, layout, user menues etc) for their widget.

How To Use (Brief)

  1. Create a new widget account or log in if you already had a widget account setup. Once logged in, the home page will show an input form for your server and channel(s). Use the code provided in the "Home" tab to update your html code.Also "Account", "Prefs", and "Logout" appear.
  2. Set/edit your Prefs and hit "Save preferences"

Settings

Account

Account has three settings. The two visible ones are Email Address and Website. These will be used in case of abuse. The third is through a blue link above the "Save and Close" button for changing the password. Clicking it opens an inline box for changing password. Remember, the password must be between 4 and 16 characters, and is for logging into the Manager (case sensitive).

Preferences

These are currently very similar to the preferences of the main client. Don't reload the Manager after saving, reload your Widget window instead to check the effect of the changes!
