I understand what you mean now, and I don't think I recall seeing the embed code for thumbnails videos before. Yeah, it's parsing the URL of the video so the HTML for the thumbnails gets shattered. RegEx for BBCode is tricky, but not impossible I don't think. I'd just have to give it a try.

I'm talking about a conversion specifically for the PB offered IMG Code - Forums & Bulletin Boards for videos.

When I tested the photobucket (videos) definition with:

[url=http://s73.photobucket.com/albums/i237/Whitey818/motorcycle%20related%20stuff/?action=view&current=100_2877.flv][img]https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2008/12/103.jpg[/img][/url]


Here's the HTML rendered by the Photobucket (Videos) definition:
As you can see, I ended up with a broken layout. The page was rendering the default photobucket image that is shown for videos, followed by the video player rendered by your product.

I was assuming your Photobucket (Videos) definition was written just to do replacements on the url portion only, and wasn't designed to account for the embed code PB provides as shown above. (at least that's what the regex looked like)

I got the idea of adding support for the PB embed code from use of this mod:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...ht=photobucket

It adds a photobucket image/video search and upload when making posts using:
http://photobucket.com/landing/plugin_wizard.php

And, if you search photobucket using that mod for a video, the only URL photo bucket gives you for the video via the IFRAME used by that mod, is the IMG code I listed above.

Anyway, I personally love that PB image search/upload since it gives an easy way for users to post videos to the site without having to allow users to upload attachments.

I had to shut off your Photobucket (Videos) definition since it broke the page whenever someone would use the PB code provided by the IFRAME uploader.

Hopefully, I'm explaining myself better this time.

Thanks again for a killer product.

DJ! i have searched and searched for a solution before asking you, and im sure its something simple... but....

i have imported the amazon (links) definition, updated my tag appropriately, and none of the links are working. instead of pointing to amazon, it points back to my site with the amazon tag added on the end (which ends with me getting a database error). im using 2.5RC but have duplicated this in both 2 and 2.5. any advice?

to clarify, instead of giving me a link to amazon.com/asin/tag=xxxxx,

its giving me a link to ww.mysitegoeshere.com/forums/showthread.php?tag=xxxx


arg!

hi,

I?m trying to build replacement code for ebay.de affiliate links, and I got stuck finding the right regex

I need to extract the sellers name from an URL, which usually looks like this:
works perfectly fine with:
then I can use the sellers name as $p1

however, sometimes ebay puts thos "W0QQ" variables behind it, then it would look something like this:
I need "_W0QQ" and everything after that to be excluded from $p1

first I tried to create a break at the first instance of an underscore, but then I realized usernames can contain underscores as well.

thanks in advance!

It's tricky when you run into an area you need grouped that can easily match the rest of the string. One thing you can do is check to see if the underscore in your grouping is absolutely necessary. If not, then you can easily put an optional word character match after your grouping: [\w_]*

If it is necessary, then try looking for the user name someplace else besides the URL string. Likely, it will be somewhere in the HTML of the page and you can make a ReGex match to that. In this case your grouping, the $p1 reference, will be in the Extraction regex instead.
