Hello,
As the AutoMedia plugin stopped embedding Vimeo for some reason, I am trying to create a MyCode that does the job. I would like to do it the best way: taking a simple URL and converting it into an embedded video with no [] [/] tags at all. I am trying NOT to use the standard [MyCode] tags.
I cannot get the replacement to work, and have not been able to find a good example or tutorial to help.
Here's what I have:
Regular Expression:
Replacement:
Test Input:
Test Result:
The problem is that it's not doing the replacement; it's not putting the video id number at the $1, and leaves the video id number at the end of the output.
Experimenting, I found that this kind of replacement DOES WORK when I put a single space after the Regular Expression AND after the Test Input. What does this tell me? I'm not exactly sure, but I think it needs a known character for closure. I would like to avoid that however... perhaps I could tell it to replace only a string of numbers and end input if anything else is encountered?
This seems to be an advanced problem and I would appreciate any help or guidance.
Thanks
