XF 1.1 vBulletin Media Tags

[ScottLott]

Hey Guys,
So I'm working importing a vBulletin 4 installation into XenForo, everything has gone well until I want to convert the youtube tags in all the posts.

- I tried Kier's addon, Post Find & Replace, and it just refreshes the page when I try to use it. Litterally, I hit the "Proceed" button and the page just refreshes, nothing happens. No errors, nothing. I'm using the code he listed in his addon:

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

- I noticed that I can't use mysql replace strings since I need widlcard values.

How would I go about turning all my youtube links from vBulletin to Xenforo:

This:

[video=youtube;dnTz4tUkvwk]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnTz4tUkvwk[/video]

Into This:

[media=youtube]dnTz4tUkvwk[/media]

Any ideas?

That should definitely work and I get the same problem and I definitely still have some old vBulletin syntax in there somewhere...

Kier's script is still working, but the regular expression was not working. I was able to throw together one that works in my situation with vBulletin:

Quick Find:
[video
 
Regular Expression:
#\[video=youtube;([^\]]+)\]([^\]]+)\[/video\]#siU
 
Replacement String:
[media=youtube]\1[/media]

Yes, I can confirm that too.

This tester doesn't produce the desired result so that will be why the add-on is also failing.

I have a solution

Thanks to Jake Bunce. Slightly different expression:

Use Kier's addon:

Here is the code you need to use with this addon:

Quick Find: [video

Regular Expression: #\[video=youtube;([^\]]+)\]([^\]]+)\[/video\]#siU

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

Yeah, that one's better than the one I had come up with. Thanks Yorick!
