XF 1.5 Import from VB - Media - Youtube convert

[rosal]

Hi, i need some help converting old posts (VB4) code video=youtube to the new one MEDIA=youtube.

I see many people use one addon to do that but i don't have success with that maybe is not XenForo 1.5.11 compatible.

There is other way to to this or another addon?

If it's just the bb code tags, you can do it with two simple queries.

UPDATE xf_post SET message = REPLACE(message, '[youtube]', '[media=youtube]');

UPDATE xf_post SET message = REPLACE(message, '[/youtube]', '[/media]');

That assumes the tags in VB are youtube /youtube.

Take a backup first.

That didnt work in this example.

Yes, it won't work for more complex embeds.

You'll have to use the add-on you linked to in your first post.
