XF 1.1 Issue with youtube links

[mono]

Hi. After import from vB 3.8 all youtube links in messages haven't converted into window look. It could be done if you edit and save message without editing. Could anyone suggest what can I do with this?
Example:

I can't see the BB code in that screenshot, but I assume it's a plain URL tag with no option.

For a replacement like that you can use this addon:

Here are settings for your replacement:

Quick Find: youtube.com

Regular expression: #\[url\]http:.+youtube\.com.+v=([a-zA-Z0-9_\-]+?).*\[/url\]#siU

Replacement String: [media=youtube]\1[/media]

And you will no doubt encounter errors regarding this setting:

Admin CP -> Home -> Options -> Messages -> Maximum Media Embeds per Message

You should increase it.

Thank you very much, Jake for this detailed explanaton. I get this error when going to Tools -> Replace in Posts:

A controller for the route path post-replace/ was not found.

You may want to attempt to reinstall the add-on.

Tried. Didn't help.

You probably uploaded the files incorrectly. This directory should exist on your server:

library/PostReplace

Yes, Jake, you were right. It works now and all links seem converted correctly. Maybe it would be useful to note in the resource description where exactly add-on folder should be? Thank you for your help!

Sorry to bump an old thread but it's difficult to narrow down to specifically what I'm looking to do, and this is the closest yet.

Ran the above, worked. Thanks!

Also wondering how we can run this for links like:

[url="http(s)://www.youtube.com/WHATEVER"]SOMETHING WHATEVER[/url]

Upper / lowercase url bbcode, with/without quotes, etc.

I don't have/use any [ame] or [youtube] or [yt] code floating around, we just used "paste a link and it will work" style on vB until the move.

@alex2k5

Youtube links come in lots of different formats. I don't have one regex to do them all. I always end up looking for exceptions and modifying the rule to handle each one.

If you can provide a specific example then I can provide the regex.

 

[alex2k5]

Just looking for the basic one above, but for bbcode

[url=''] [/url]

rather than

[url] [/url]

The youtube part of your regular expression above should be fine. Catches the most common:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXXX

Thanks for looking into it, appreciated.

Try this. I tightened up the matching a bit and changed it to look for that new url tag format:

Quick Find: youtube.com

Regular expression: #\[url="http:[^"\]]+youtube\.com[^"\]]+v=([a-zA-Z0-9_\-]+?)[^"\]]*"\][^\[]+\[/url\]#siU

Replacement String: [media=youtube]\1[/media]
