Troubleshooting Old youtube links

[Jason Simonds]

Can someone post a link with the old YouTube link in it. I fixed the store today and wanted to work on that problem too.

This post has an old-form Youtube link in it...

In the post Robert linked to the BBcode is:

 

[ youtube]MK0ITXBWpHE[ /youtube] (without leading spaces)

 

The new board requires the full URL whereas the old had supplied the URL.

This would be easy to fix but the new youtube tag isn't part of the standard BBcode (i.e it isn't even listed as an option in the BBcode listing so must be deeper in the board's code.

 

I've added a new BBcode tag for those that want to only paste the ID of the youtube video.

It is: [ youtubeID]MK0ITXBWpHE[ /youtubeID]

 

I see two options in updating the old links:

 

1. Add the URL after the [ youtube] tag

2. Change the tag from [ youtube] to [ youtubeID]

 

Of course we'd only want to sample/select those links from the old forum or it'll break the links folks have posted in the new forum.

 

Here's the code at Robert's link changed to [ youtubeID]:

 

[youtubeID]MK0ITXBWpHE[/youtubeID]

 

Edit: Not working at the moment. Will doublecheck the BBcode.

The current youtube tag falls into IPB's new implementation of the media tag so there may be an easier way to get this done. That media tag is implemented in the PHP.
