Fixed custom Media bbCode for local videos

[lightbox]

I have a website mysite.com running XenForo.
I have lots of videos (tutorials) on my site to post to XenForo threads.
I store these videos (and some additional files) in subfolders like:

• mysite.com/videotutorials/photoshop/howtomakeshadows/
• mysite.com/videotutorials/xenforo/custommediabbcode/

What I need to pass through my custom Media bbCode would look like this:

• [media=mysitename]photoshop/howtomakeshadows[/media]
• [media=mysitename]xenforo/custommediabbcode[/media]

Problem is, that the string is stripped at the slash.
So all that is passed to the corresponding place in the object code is:

• photoshop
• xenforo

... and the whole thing doesn't work as you can imagine.

To try this bug the easy way, you can simply use an image (see attached screenshot).



Expected result in HTML code would be:
<img src="http://mysite.com/folder/subfolder/myimage.jpg" alt="" />

Actual result is:
<img src="http://mysite.com/folder/myimage.jpg" alt="" />

Hope this helps.

I'm not sure how you actually got that result. If you have a media tag with a slash in the value, you'd get nothing. If you're pasting the URL into the media popup, then that is the expected behavior. The slash is traditionally a splitter for IDs.

I have changed this to allow the slash to be manually placed within the media BB code tag though.
