Hey Mak,

I don't really know of any other way to explain it than how I have done :D. I think we are like passing ships with my explanation and my understanding of what you are wanting to do (I still have no clue what you are trying to do!). Let me try to sum up the way the Extraction regexp works another way.

Most of the time, the URL contains the information that is needed to embed without any additional work. For instance a URL may look like this:

www.yoururl.com/video=123456

And on that page, will be an 'Embed this video' box which will contain HTML that looks like:

<embed src="video" param="123456">

So the replace code in AME looks like:

<embed src="video" param="$p1">

So when AME looks at the URL, it pulls out the 123456 and puts it in the $p1 placeholder and Wham! You have your embedded video.

Where the extraction tool comes into place is when the URL looks like

www.yoururl.com/video=123456

But the Embedding HTML on the page looks like:

<embed src="video" param="abcdefg">

In this instance, there is no correlation between the URL and the embedding code so for the embedding to work, AME must go to www.yoururl.com/video=123456 and do a search for that parameter.

So if the definition includes an Embedding Regexp, AME knows to download the page the first time it is saved and run the Embed Regexp on the source code to lift the abcdefg out. That way, AME will then have all the information it needs to display the embedded media.

You cannot use the Embedding Regexp for anything other than putting parameters in the Replacement code as it wasn't designed to do anything else but what it is currently doing. Saying that, I can put a couple more hooks in so that if you wanted to extract additional information from the destination page at save then you could, however I still am at a loss as to what you are trying to achieve.

Just a control question :)

Do I understand right that Embedding Regexp searches (works with) ONLY

in page's HTML source code?

It can technically grab anything from the page, however whatever is grabbed is intended to be used in the replacement code (the <embed>).

lol. Then we have to begin from the start.

You said "It can technically grab".

But what can grab the current version???

You have said your-self in your previous post that:
You also said:

Look -->> for anything other than putting parameters in the Replacement code

From where "Embedding Regexp" takes those parameters?

Example :)

Edited:

Look -->> and do a search for that parameter

Where it searches?

And what it can search and what it can't?

You have said "It can technically grab anything from the page."
But actually what it (Embedding Regexp) can grab?

still can't get hardly any to work.

Mak,

While running the embed regexp, it already has the entire page contents, therefore a hook can be placed (in an upcoming version) so that after the embed regecp is run you can do something else with it, but for right now it will grab whatever the result is and store it as a parameter for the embed code.

It would really help if you could elaborate on what you are trying to accomplish

Hello,

I'm having an odd issue with the "internal linking (threads)".
I deleted the definition and then re-imported it to be sure it wasn't something I messed up, but I still have the issue:

When I post a link to a thread (for example my-site.net/forums/showthread.php?t=123456), it is resolved as: [favicon]**Internal Linking (Threads) (as opposed to actually using the linked thread's title) and the URL leads to my-site.net/forums/showthread.php?p=123456. (Notice the P instead of the T that it should be)

This is the replacement code (which is the default) (and it looks fine to me): I'm really not sure what the issue is. Any advice is appreciated.

The Geek, I understand this one.

And this one two.

I already have posted my test case here https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=1844996.

Ok. Lets make steps :)

Step 1:

1. Regular expression
   
   PHP Code:

   ---

   http://[w\.]*dailymotion\.[com|alice\.it]+/[\w/\-%]*video/([\w\-]+) 


   ---

2. URL is posted:
   http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x9m63m_canarias-timelapse_creatio
   
   
3. I don't want to use "x9m63m_canarias-timelapse_creatio" from the URL

Is step 1 is clear? Then continue.

Step 2:

1. The HTML Source of above URL has such code:
   
   
   HTML Code:

   ---

       <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://ak.style.dailymotion.com/css/gen/widget/pack/baseskin-prod.css.v1198007225" />
    <link rel="canonical" href="/video/x9m63m_canarias-timelapse_creation" />
    <link rel="image_src" type="image/jpeg" href="http://www.dailymotion.com/thumbnail/160x120/video/x9m63m_canarias-timelapse_creation" />
    <link rel="video_src" href="http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/x9m63m?autoPlay=1" />
    <link rel="thumbnail" type="image/jpeg" href="/thumbnail/160x120/video/x9m63m_canarias-timelapse_creation" />

   ---

2. I want to get one line from it (HTML Source) with Embedding Regexp and pass the result to Replacement.
   

Is step 2 is clear? Then continue.

Step 3:

1. I set Extract destination data to Yes
   
2. I set Embedding Regexp with:
   
   Code:

   ---

   <link rel="canonical" href="/video/([a-z_0-9-]+)"

   ---

3. It doesn't work...

Is step 3 is clear?

That will work. The regexp will capture x9m63m_canarias-timelapse_creation into $p1

So what you need to do is use $p1 in your replace code where you want it to appear.

HTHs

Hey Nick,

Ill look into DJ's internal linking definition. It looks like it isn't updated for 2.5x, however it should still be working ok.
