Correct. Keep in mind that the execution starts the moment you open the url in your browser. So enter the database credentials before you run the url.

Righto, just leave it as '' then. (without space)

I know, just wanted to point that out in case other users want to use the script as well :)

Understood ... will try this out after a full backup and advise ... :)

Hi.... :)

Entered our specific information, backed up and then executed PHP file.

All it came back with was the phrase No query result and no [youtube] records weres changed?

Am I doing something wrong?

give me a few examples how your youtube tag works and I'll try to sort it out

Special BBCodes were added to our site over the years so that they appear in posts like this:

[youtube=QT7kEMxSdZU]British Training Film[/youtube]

.. or, like this ...

[youtube]QT7kEMxSdZU[/youtube]

Now, these videos appear twice (they repeat) in each post with your excellent new YouTube mod installed, except yours presents a wide screen video, where the old ones were 4x3. Yours is better..... :D

Is this what you mean by examples?

Then modify the convyt.php like the following:

Replace the $ytpreg = ... line with each one of those:
You'll have to run the script 2 times, each time with one of those lines.

That should do the trick then.

Hi... :)

I changed the individual line as above and created two different PHP files. I then ran each one and in both cases, the PHP execution returned No query result.....

I'm not sure what else could be wrong because the BBCode it should be locating is exactly as above, but if I emailed you the three files, one of which would be my config.php for vBulletin, perhaps could have a quick look?

Appreciate your support .... :up:

I did notice that your PHP file refers to:

$database = xxxxx

.. but then the line that opens the database says:

$db = mysql_connect($host, $username, $password);
mysql_select_db($database_name);

Is that correct? .. or should it be:

mysql_select_db($database);

heh, I'm afraid you're right. Must've missed that.

ofc would make more sense. Try that out.

cheers

Would be great if this also worked in blogs and not just forums :)

Yup ... :up:

That got it running, although after passing 150,000 posts and then checking one with a duplicate, the post content using this BBCode syntax still shows a duplicate. Your real-time wide screen conversion, plus the old BBCode using this syntax.

I'm using these (one at a time):

Replace the $ytpreg = ... line with each one of those:
Any ideas?

Thanks .. :)
