Group Chat with persistent members in pidgin

Question

I want to make a chat-room in Pidgin. I know the default way; i.e. using Add a Chat from Buddies menu. But there are some problems using it!

1. Just the creator can have it in his/her list; so everyone should search and join every single time he/she leaves the chat.
2. People can't set Auto-Join and Persistent properties to avoid the problem mentioned in 1.

Is there any plugin which I'm unaware of to do this??

Answer 1

I already found the trick! :-D

Maybe I should have waited some minutes. But I don't delete the question since I think maybe it can help some people in the future.

The trick is once the creator creates the chat, other people should also create a chat with the same name; they will join to the original one and no new room will be made. Then everyone can see this chat in his/her list and can set both Auto-Join and Persistent properties.
