Youtube issue on new forum after Db import

[FiB]

I have an issue with Youtube on my new forum which I think maybe something to do with the Db import but I'm not sure? At the moment wherever there is a Youtube link it appears something like this in the post...

Code:

[youtube:mosxdjh2]2fbJvLDYc08[/youtube:mosxdjh2]


If I click edit this is what I see....

Code:

[youtube]2fbJvLDYc08[/youtube]

If I then send it without making any changes I see this...







As far as the Youtube links are concerned I have found that if I click edit do NOTHING and then click send they are working so is there anyway to fool the forum into thinking that all the posts have been edited?

The colons and characters after youtube are keeping the tags from formatting. (:mosxdjh2) When you edit the post, the editor corrects the tags by removing that portion.

You shouldn't have to edit every post to fix this problem, it's not right. I would contact them and ask that they fix all tags in the posts that display this behaviour.

Ok thank you for your reply @Deux

I had forgotten I had already started this, I have contacted to techs about it but they seem to be at a loss

They cannot explain how the bolded part came into existence ?

Not at present.

I don't know what to think now..

Parsing tags via JavaScript isn't something I like to do a lot, but seeing as you've a lot of posts with screwed up bbcode that supposedly cannot be fixed server-side, it's currently your only choice unless you want to edit every post by hand so the editor corrects it. See if this script corrects those tags :

Modules > JavaScript codes management > Create a new script

Placement : in the topics
Paste the code below and submit :

Code:

$(function() { for (var p = $('.postbody'), i=0, j = p.length; i<j; i++) if (p[i].innerHTML.match(/\[youtube:.*?\]/)) p[i].innerHTML = p[i].innerHTML.replace(/\[youtube:.*?\](.*?)\[\/youtube:.*?\]/,'<embed pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/$1" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" quality="high" scale="exactfit" height="350" width="425"/>') });

Looks like the techs have been playing, all the link for youtube have all gone so now I have posts that should have a video but there is nothing there at all except the text

They're working on it again ? I'd probably remove the last script then, at least until the problem arises again.

I didn't add it, I was looking for a video so I could check it after but didn't find one. Lets hope they are still working on it and the vids come back or at least the links, Buttercup told me they couldn't do it. They did the same with the broken links instead of leaving them there they have all gone too.
