Extract information from URL to use in bbcode.

Dear vBulletin users,

For a while, I've been using a twitter mod on my forum (3.8), it is a mod to embed a tweet by using the following syntax:

Code:

[tweet]twitterstatusid[/tweet]

Now I would like to be able to just post the tweet url (which contains the statusid), now I figured the most simple solution would be to extract the statusid directly from the URL and add the bbcode. Now there is only one problem, I really don't know anything about PHP or XML.

Is there anyone who would like to help me out? It would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,
Nick

May I know what BBCODE mod you're using for this?

As I got a PHP code ready which I tested works perfectly and replaces for example:

https://twitter.com/exelaguilar/stat...24693311152129

To..

[tweet]355224693311152129[/tweet]

But of course, I can't actually test the [tweet] bbcode as I don't have it.

I'm using the following mod:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=287342

It states that it is for vB4, but it works on vB3 as well

Make a plguin for postdata_presave and threadfpdata_presave

And add the following code to both:

PHP Code:


		
			
global $vbulletin; 
    $pagetext =& $this->fetch_field('pagetext', 'post'); 
        
    if (stristr($pagetext,'https://twitter.com/')) {


    $string = $pagetext;
    $pattern = '#https?://twitter\.com/(?:\#!/)?(\w+)/status(es)?/(\d+)#';
    $replacement = '[tweet]$3[/tweet]';

    $pagetext = preg_replace($pattern, $replacement, $string);

    }

Won't gurantee anything, but it does indeed convert a twitter link to the format you want.

See: http://elite-source.com/testthis.php

Interesting piece of code. Thanks @exel. :)

Thank you very much Exel, it works pretty well, except for the fact that vBulletin automatically adds

Code:

[url]

to the url, is there a way to fix this?

Here you go:

PHP Code:


		
			
global $vbulletin; 
    $pagetext =& $this->fetch_field('pagetext', 'post'); 
        
    if (stristr($pagetext,'https://twitter.com/')) {

    function stripBBCode($text, $code) 
    { 
        $code = str_replace(",", "|", $code); 
        $code = str_replace(" ", "", $code); 
        $pattern = '#\[/?(?:' . $code . ')[^]]*\]#i';
        return preg_replace($pattern, '', $text);  
    } 

    $string = $pagetext;
    $pattern = '#https?://twitter\.com/(?:\#!/)?(\w+)/status(es)?/(\d+)#';
    $replacement = '[tweet]$3[/tweet]';

    $pagetext = preg_replace($pattern, $replacement, $string);

    $pagetext = stripBBCode($pagetext, "url"); 

    }

Tested here; http://craftgraphics.com/forum/showt...hp?p=65#post65

Only issue with that is it will also strip out [url] for anything else. BUT it will ONLY do that if the post has a twitter link on it.

So if your post has

http://twitter.com/exel/status/123

and http://google.com

it will do

[tweet]123[/tweet]

google.com

But if it doesn't have twitter in the post, it will use the default vbulletin system.

Can confirm it works:
