WoW API: JoinPermanentChannel
← WoW API < JoinPermanentChannel
Seems to have the same effect as API_JoinChannelByName.
Joins the channel with the specified name. A player can be in a maximum of 10 chat channels. In opposite to API_JoinTemporaryChannel the channel will be re-joined after relogging.
type, name = JoinPermanentChannel("channelName" [,"password" [,frameID[, hasVoice]]])

- frameID
- Number (optional) - The chat frame ID number to add the channel to. Use Frame:GetID() to retrieve it for chat frame objects.
