No the url is not linked, this is what it produces. (Just like youtube videos)




Eidt: Basically it needs to go from this

[video=vimeo;20759609]http://vimeo.com/20759609[/video]

To this:

[media=vimeo]20759609[/media]

Should there be a list of links ?
and what is needed to convert them ?

I was thinking the same thing, at the very least converting vB4 links.

This is seriously about the last thing I need to do before I can migrate.

Have you already setup a xenforo install and imported your db and are using this addon to replace post content...or are you trying to replace eveything ahead of time...I am a little confused because I see the screenshot and I see that it is not xenforo.

I have a test install with my vB4 database imported, it's not currently live. However I'd prefer having the expressions ready before I DO upgrade/migrate the live site.

How about we start over.

I'm looking to convert the following:

[video=vimeo;20759609]http://vimeo.com/20759609[/video]

To

[media=vimeo]20759609[/media]

And

[video=youtube;aNsucu92jwk]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNsucu92jwk[/video]

To

[media=youtube]aNsucu92jwk[/media]

 

[EQnoble]

#\[video\=vimeo\;[0-9]+\]http://vimeo.com/#si matches [video=vimeo;20759609]http://vimeo.com/

#\[/video\]#si matches [/video]


As long as that works out for you on your testbed, I will post up the youtube as well.

 

[CiSNe]

Place the entire PostReplace directory into the /library/

Please, You can write this in the first post?
Because I mad seach whith install this plugin.

#\[video\=vimeo\;[0-9]+\]http://vimeo.com/#si matches [video=vimeo;20759609]http://vimeo.com/

#\[/video\]#si matches [/video]

No that's not right, the Regular Expression should grab just the 20759609 and the Replacement String should be something like this:

[media=vimeo]\2[/media]

You can check it here. http://www.spaweditor.com/scripts/regex/index.php

 

[EQnoble]

#\[video\=vimeo\;[0-9]+\]http://vimeo.com/#si

matches

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [0] => [video=vimeo;20759609]http://vimeo.com/
        )
 
)

It catches just fine....
If you have
[video=vimeo;20759609]http://vimeo.com/20759609[/video]

the id is there twice, I am matching from the [ to the / after .com replace that with [media=vimeo]

ill use that page you posted to show you...I switched the match function to a replace there so you can see the replacement..

On the other post where I showed an image of the post replacement tool...I didn't put the replacement string in...that line would be the line from this image named 'Enter text to replace matches with here: (backreferences are ok)'

I know it worked because I tried it

I see what you're doing now. I ran it on my test build and it works (reference that link I PM'd), now I just need the youtube one.

FYI still have to replace the [/video] with [/media]

 

[EQnoble]

#\[/video\]#si
replace with
[/media]

lemme see where I put that youtube setup yesterday...I will get back here in a few.

 

[EQnoble]

btw be careful with that regex tester...it randomly removes 'e' chars from strings when you click to process.

 

[EQnoble]

#\[video=youtube\;[a-z0-9-_]+\]http\://www\.youtube\.com/watch\?v=#si

replace with:

[media=youtube]

The closing tag should be changed already per the post above.

 

[DBA]

#\[video=youtube\;[a-z0-9-_]+\]http\://www\.youtube\.com/watch\?v=#si

replace with:

[media=youtube]

The closing tag should be changed already per the post above.

I get the following error after checking save and clicking proceed
"Please enter a message with no more than 5 pieces of media."

 

[Paul B]

You have a post with more than 5 media embeds in it.

Increase the value in Options.

Search for: Maximum Media Embeds per Message

Ok FINALLY got it figured out, thanks guys.

I have downloaded and installed this add on and I did a run of it yesterday to which it managed to find 2 and fix fine however I am unable to get it to fix the rest that I still have on the forums.

Currently I still have the following on my forums which haven't fixed

[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76RbWuFll0Y&ob=av2e[/ame]

I have tried using the following to find and replace these posts but it does not seem to work

Quick Find: [ame
Regular Expression: #\[ame]("|'|)http:.+youtube.+v=(\w+)\1\].+\[/ame]#siU
Replacement String: [media=youtube]\2[/media]

any help is greatly appreciated.

I am getting the following error when trying to use this..

Please enter a message with no more than 5 pieces of media.

Some of my posts have as many as 11 videos.

Never mind found this two posts back - http://xenforo.com/community/threads/post-content-find-replace.6548/page-9#post-306593

Darn.. I have more than 30 videos in a post somewhere. What is the optimum value for this?
