Gizmo Wizard Registered: 01/10/00 Posts: 5095 Loc: Portland, OR, USA	The UBB by default comes with a MySpace tag to parse videos only from "vids.myspace.com", if you're having trouble posting videos from "myspacetv.com" then you'll want to add the following Custom Tag (since there is already a [video:myspace] tag in the custom tags menu, we won't even be showing this in the menu) Custom Tag: Code: video:myspace Description: Code: MySpace Video User Prompt: Code: MySpace URL; eg: http://myspacetv.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=xxxxxx Matching Regex: Code: http://myspacetv.com/index.cfm\?fuseaction=vids.individual&VideoID=(.+?) Resulting Markup: Code: <embed src="http://lads.myspace.com/videos/vplayer.swf" flashvars="m=\\1&v=2&type=video" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350"></embed> _________________________ UBB.Dev - Where you too can render your UBB install completely useless...

blaaskaak Member Registered: 02/25/07 Posts: 283 Loc: The Netherlands	Let's make things simpler Why do we care about a correct url. We are only interested in the last parameter right? No matter what domain is entered. Code: .*VideoID=(.+?) Seems like a good enough regex for me. The tag already defines which video service is being used, no need to double check the url. You would only need to involve the full url if you would make a general [video] tag and the actual video service would be determined from the url entered. _________________________

Another great thing, it also comes default with an option to both export and import tags. No need for users to type in stuff I've attached my version of the MySpace tag. Accepts both an url and just a code. Regex inspired by SD's youtube regex posted on ubbcentral. Attachments myspace.txt (9 downloads) _________________________

sirdude Enthusiast Registered: 11/08/03 Posts: 429 Loc: SoCal	yes, mr Yarp™ has the correct idea. i believe it's the better and in long run easier way to approach it. for people who aren't too regex savvy, i'd recommend regexbuddy.. after playin with it for a bit, the world of regexes gets a lot more clear. Then you can keep using it, or after awhile you kinda don't need it anymore. _________________________ Unfair, Unbalanced, Unmedicated.
