MUCs in a shared roster

Is it possible to add Multi-User Chats to a shared roster as members?

I have a shared roster group named "Chat rooms" which would show specific persistent MUCs to all users on the server. Under Web Admin->Shared Roster->"Chat rooms" I added the following to the "Members"-field:

chatroom@conference.example.com support@conference.example.com

This shows the MUCs in the shared roster, but when I double click one of them, the Jabber client opens a regular One-to-One chat window instead of the Multi-User Chat window.

Do I need to use some special form for the roomID instead of chatroom@conference.example.com? Or is this not supported at all in XMPP/Jabber?

In Gaim I can add MUCs to roster groups and they will show up and work as chat rooms (i.e. double clicking one will open the Multi-User Chat window).

This is a client-side problem

Hello,

This is a client side issue. It could be supported by the client, but this is not standard however.
The most common way to store MUC reference is to use private storage as described in JEP-0048 (Bookmark storage): http://www.jabber.org/jeps/jep-0048.html
