AddChat

What it does

This compatibility method behaves like AddGlobalChat. Adds a remote global-chat panel with rules, cooldowns, reporting, and conversation persistence. It is kept so scripts written with the older AddChat name continue to work.

When to use it

Use it when maintaining a script that uses this older method name. The service endpoint is built into XLQP, so no authentication URL option is required. Prefer AddGlobalChat in new code so the method name matches the current API.

ElementFunction:AddChat(ChatConfig)

local Result = Section:AddChat({
    Name = "Example",
})

Behavior and return value

This alias forwards to AddGlobalChat, so its options, callbacks, and returned value follow the canonical method.

Fields marked optional may be omitted. XLQP then uses the method’s built-in default or leaves that feature disabled.
