XF 1.1 Links after upgrade from phpBB3

[MattW]

Hi,

After upgrading from phpBB3.0.10, the links in post are showing as plain html as per the below:

<a class="postlink" href="http://issues.pageturninteractive.com/CoverStory/four/?ptie=forums@chrisknott.co.uk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://issues.pageturninteractive.com/C ... nott.co.uk</a>

Is there an automated way to resolve this post upgrade?

Thanks,
Matt

That's good, at least it's sorted now

many thanks, now off and try not to break the whole thing haha

Try:
#http:.+youtube.+v=([\w\-]+?)#siU

This regex is great for www.youtube.com but there are many URL to youtube nowadays, what if I wanted to look for .youtube. and not worry if it was www. or uk. or the domain .com .be, etc....

Many thanks

#.+youtube.+v=([\w\-]+?)#siU will looks for anything with youtube in the middle.


If you want to look for youtu.be URL's

#youtu.be/([\w]+?)#siU

Many thanks Matt, tried it a couple of times and it messed up all the youtube links, so hopefully third time lucky!

Sorted?

Sorted?

Not really, I ran the first command to convert all the URL links:

Now my youtube links look like this:

[url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S05gRhsY3mQ&list=UUv8Nyrl_ydPoSv5qTVuqrMQ&index=1&feature=plcp]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S05gRhsY ... ature=plcp[/url]

when I convert the youtube links they are all duplicated:

[url=[media=youtube]5tUo_DX1ISc[/media]][media=youtube]5tUo_DX1ISc[/media][/url]

So that kind of messes it all up!

I need to somehow remove the URL tags and also the duplication.

Mind sending me a link to your site so I can take a look at one of the posts with the youtube media in?

If you want to look for youtu.be URL's

#youtu.be/([\w]+?)#siU

THIS one ALMOST works.

So close! It works for all the youtu.be short domains but not ones with hyphens. It leaves off the characters after the hyphen.

So for example if the URL is

https://youtu.be/T-456363626

It will change it to

[MEDIA=youtube]T[/MEDIA]

Any advise on including the hypens?

Also it should disregard URL lines that look like this:

[URL='http://youtu.be/T-k35Vj6D2s']text here[/URL]

Since people have linked it in a sentence, but these are coming up in this search. If it changes those it's going to mess up the sentence.

Thanks!
