Hi I'm pretty new to regular expressions etc but I'm in the middle of trying to convert some add-ons I created for my 2.8.0 forum to plugins on the new 2.8.1 software. They basically just allow embedding video files from different sites. I could never quite get it 100% on the old software (they embedded you just couldn't quote/edited them without it turning into plain html)

I understood the issue was with the regex but never got round to fixing it as my users were happy enough. The new plugin system has got me back to wanting to fix the issue.

I've attached the code as I'm unable to include links

I'm pretty sure that the issue is with the regex part in the convert back to Fudcode section but I'll be damned if I can work it out!!

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

You need to escape the two question marks in the last preg_replace.

Great pluging by the way. Hope you don't mind, but I've added it to the wiki at http://cvs.prohost.org/index.php/Megavideo.plugin

Best regards.

No problems at all

I made a small change to the wiki

In order to create embeddable code I had to use their preview player which displays a thumbnail image of the video before it loads. Because this couldn't be created dynamically (as there was no way to tell what the image file name would be) I simply substituted the image=http:\\.... to a hard-coded one which displays an image that is relevant to my site

The image bit isn't required so I just took it out from the wiki page.

I have another question similar to the one in the OP

I've created another plugin that allows the embedding of JustinTV videos. Once again I've got the embedding working but not the reverse html to bbcode.

What are the characters that need to be escaped , obviously I know that ? has to be escaped but I can't seem to find a definitive list online (my google kung-fu has failed me)

This should help: http://www.php.net/manual/en/regexp.reference.php

When done, please share you plugin with the community by posting it on the wiki.
