Automated updating of API pages at this location, to reflect patch changes, has ceased from 10.1.7 onwards. |
Seems to have the same effect as API_JoinChannelByName (except that a channel joined by JoinTemporaryChannel is left at logout).
Joins the channel with the specified name. A player can be in a maximum of 10 chat channels. In opposite to API_JoinPermanentChannel the channel will be left at logout.
type, name = JoinTemporaryChannel("channelName" [,"password" [,frameID[, hasVoice]]])
Parameters
(copy/paste from API_JoinChannelByName)
Arguments
- channelName
- String - The name of the channel to join
- You can't use the "-" character in channelName (patch 1.9)
- password
- String (optional) - The channel password, nil if none.
- frameID
- Number (optional) - The chat frame ID number to add the channel to. Use Frame:GetID() to retrieve it for chat frame objects.
