Override network defaults in the URL

In public mode only, it is possible to pre-load the form to connect to a server with custom values based on the URL.

For example, the URL https://demo.thelounge.chat/?join=foo,bar will offer the user to connect to the default server and immediately joining the channels #foo and #bar.

The following URL parameters can be used to override the fields of the Connect form:

• name
• host
• port
• tls
• rejectUnauthorized
• nick
• username
• password
• realname
• join or channels

Note that when the lockNetwork setting is set to true, the keys host, port, and rejectUnauthorized have no effect.

When using the comma-separated join or channels keys, alphanumeric sequences will be prefixed with #. For example, ?join=foo fills the form field with #foo.

If you need to explicitly use a # character, you must use %23 instead. For example, ?join=%23%23bar fills the form field with ##bar. Similarly, you must use %26 for &-prefixed channels.
