How would I make a script that examines a new post and preg_matches a thread and replaces it with content? So if someone made a post and it had:

[VIDEO]536[/VIDEO]

I would want it to preg_match it with:

\[(VIDEO|video)]([\d]*)\[/(VIDEO|video)]

Then of course, I would run some PHP code on the preg_match[2] returned as 536.

Would this be possible?

I posted this in another thread a bit earlier, it should help you out

You'll require two plugins for this. I posted their source as xml just because it included everything. Just pay particular attention to the hook location and the basic functions I included.

This one will take the text to be posted, and submit it to a function so can it can be run through a preg_replace or similar function.

<plugin active="1" executionorder="5">

			<title>Title Of Mod</title>

			<hookname>postbit_display_complete</hookname>

			<phpcode><![CDATA[global $vbulletin;

			$this->post['message'] = Function_Name($this->post['message']);

			]]></phpcode>

</plugin>

Another code in the global_start hook can be used to hold the source of the link replacement, modify the post and return it however you want.

<title>Plugin Title</title>
<hookname>global_start</hookname>
<phpcode><![CDATA[
            function Function_Name($post) {
				global $vbulletin;
                //Preg_replace + other Functions
                return $post;
             }
]]></phpcode>
