Comment 4 for bug 577694

I have added !topic (!t) and !qtopic (!qt) admin-only commands. These commands take one argument, the new content of the first part of /topic for the classroom and -chat channels respectively. These strings can contain certain variables:

$chan - The main classroom channel (#ubuntu-classroom for classbot)
$qchan - The -chat channel (#ubuntu-classroom-chat for classbot)
$qprefix - The localized question prefix (QUESTION: for classbot)

These will get replaced with the correct values for the session when the /topic is updated.

Keep in mind, these commands do not cause instant changes. The changes will only take affect when a /topic update is necessary (at the start/end of a session).
