Hi

I have been testing the importer against our vbulletin 4 install and I think I may have spotted a possible problem with the importer.

Carnage trailer is out - 

[video=youtube_share;-FmWuCgJmxo]https://youtu.be/-FmWuCgJmxo[/video]

Above is the post content example in vb4 but the regex on line 588 of the importer Vbulletin.php is:

#\[video=[a-z_]+;[a-z0-9_]+\](.*?)\[\/video\]#i

Which wont match as the second part needs to add a "-" into its search.

#\[video=[a-z_]+;[a-z0-9_-]+\](.*?)\[\/video\]#i

The url for the video is correct and has a "-" in it as do quite a few video share links we have such as [video=youtube_share;pMJFM-p5a-c]. The rebuild posts task does embed the videos but it leaves the [video=youtube_share;-FmWuCgJmxo] part behind as its not been stripped by above.

I think the addition of the "-" above should fixed our import but I am going to run it again to confirm as it takes a while.

Cheers

Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention! I can confirm this should be further reviewed and I have logged an internal bug report for our development team to investigate and address as necessary, in a future maintenance release.

 

I see this has not been added yet to the latest build. The minor change I made to covert/sources/software/core/vbulletin.php above by adding the "-" fixed the issue for us.

Its not a major major issue but it would be frustrating for any sites with a lot of youtube videos which get broken embedding because of a missing -

It has not been addressed in the core platform as of yet, no.

This issue has been resolved in 4.7.0 which has recently been released. Please upgrade to that version to resolve this, and of course, let us know if you are still seeing any issues.
