Thanks for your answer DavidIQ.
Providing more information:
phpbb version of my site: 3.1.9
My site:
http://www.puntadelanza.net/Foro/phpBB3/
My old BBcode was like that:
Code: Select all
[youtube]http://{TEXT1}youtube.com/watch?v={TEXT2}[/youtube]
Code: Select all
<object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://{TEXT1}youtube.com/v/{TEXT2}&version=2"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://{TEXT1}youtube.com/v/{TEXT2}&version=2" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="640" height="385"></embed></object>
I went through ACP and changed my BBcode in the wat that JoshyPHP has posted:
Code: Select all
<iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/{IDENTIFIER}" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
But It did not work.
Not sure if because, all my videos are linked by http instead of http
s....
Not sure, but they are not working.
Do you have any clue on that issue?..... It will help a lot.
I was wandering about to attack php_post table in the database, with someting like that:
Code: Select all
UPDATE `phpbb_posts` SET `post_text` = REPLACE(`post_text`, '[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=', '[youtube]');
I've try it with two diferent rows, and although the post is properly formated, the video is not showing properly. Is necessary to edit post (without doing anything) and saving, and then it works, but this is not a way to do it.... I have a lot of rows and posts.... no way....
Many thanks

Changing custom BBCodes is not retroactive. That definition will not work with your old posts because your old BBCode uses multiple different tokens.
You can probably modify your old BBCode to make it work with YouTube's current markup. Note that
I do not recommend using this BBCode. The only YouTube BBCode I would recommend is the one you quoted, but that one will not work with your old posts without some manual maintenance.
Code: Select all
[youtube]http://{TEXT1}youtube.com/watch?v={IDENTIFIER}[/youtube]
Code: Select all

^ what he said. If you keep your BBCode definition the same and just corrected the replacement then it should work fine retroactively. Otherwise I think you would just use the STK to reparse all posts.

STK isn't ready for 3.1.x though and the only reparser of BBcodes that I am aware of - for it - has been not yet relesed to the crowd, still a concept or some thing more.
Edit:
sems like the OP posted into the wrong forum?

Thanks for your answers.
I did not keep my old BBCode configuration.
I preferr to update it and figure it how to change all my old posts.
I saw that STK is not release for 3.1.x versions... So I really do not know how to fix my old posts...

he means that you posted in the 3.0 support forum and you are running 3.1
the STK does not apply to 3.1 which is what much of this topic is discussing.

He's fine I think since there is no BBCode support forum for 3.1 as of yet.

You can use my code. I dont mind.
This works with either URL or Share links.
It is updated as a replacement for the Youtube API Problem if you want to keep existing youtube tags that used full urls.
BBCode Usage
HTML Replacement
Code: Select all
<script language="Javascript">
var a = '{URL}';
var temp = new Array();
var check = new Array();
check = a.match('//youtu\.be');
if(check)
{
temp = a.split('youtu.be/');
document.write('<iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/' + temp[1] + '" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>');
}
else
{
temp = a.split('?v=');
document.write('<iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/' + temp[1] + '" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>');
}
</script>
Code: Select all
Embeds YouTube Video: [youtube]SHARE LINK OR URL[/youtube]
Enjoy,

The code I'm using works with both http and https. Did you try it? Here it is again:
Field 1:
Code: Select all
[youtube]{TEXT1}youtube.com/watch?v={IDENTIFIER}{TEXT2}[/youtube]
Field 2:
Code: Select all
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/{IDENTIFIER}" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
