iframe and URL

[theliadir]

Hello everyone

I would like to activate iframe via mycode. 
I have the following code: 

For iframe:
\[iframe\](.*?)\[/iframe\]

Replacement: 
<iframe src="$1" width="800px" height="500px"><a href="$1"></a></iframe>

The problem is, that the link inside the iframe code gets replaced by the url Mycode rule. 
I tried it to place it in first and last order, which both didnt work. 

Any ideas?

Thx for any help.

You will have to restructure your code, but this will work:

Regex:

\[iframe=(.*?)\]

Replacement:

same, BUT

The anchor you have in your replacement will not be functional at all. The iFrame takes over the space.

So you would use [iframe={url here}]

Thank you for your answer.

I tried:
1. RegEx: \[iframe=(.*?)\] and replacment: \[iframe=(.*?)\]

and

2. RegEx: \[iframe=(.*?)\](.*?)\[iframe=(.*?)\] and Replacement: \[iframe=(.*?)\](.*?)\[iframe=(.*?)\]

Both didnt work. What am I doing wrong?

I made two tests, using the same replacement:

Regex1 : \[iframe="(.*?)"\]
Regex2 : \[iframe\](.*?)\[/iframe\]

Replacement : <iframe src="$1" width="800px" height="500px"></iframe>
This is the only custom MyBB I have, but the two tests worked fine.

Have you other MyCode or any plugin modifying the posts ?

No, you should use this replacement:

Replacement: <iframe src="$1" width="800px" height="500px"></iframe>

Sorry, I wasn't clear. The anchor (link) in the iframe won't do anything, so just remove it.

Then use the tag like this: [iframe={url}]

So I dissabled my editor and all my MyCodes for the moment. I installed CKEditor and SimpleCKEditor but both are dissabled. 

With the following MyCode:
RegEx: \[iframe\](.*?)\[/iframe\]
Replacement: <iframe src="$1" width="800px" height="500px"></iframe>

I get this in the source code: 

<iframe src="<a href=" https:="" www.youtube.com="" embed="" pkh8utuejgw"="" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">https://www.youtube.com/embed/Pkh8UtuejGw</a>" width="800px" height="500px"></iframe>

if you check src="https..." gets replaced by src="<a href=" https..." which breaks the code. 
So the url inside the src tag gets also replaced by a a tag which makes no sense!

Any ideas?

That's odd. I tested that code on my local fresh copy of MyBB 1.8.21 without issue.

I'll look again when I get home.

EDIT: I just realized that you aren't using my code:

Regex:

\[iframe=(.*?)\]

Replacement:

<iframe src="$1" width="800px" height="500px"></iframe>

So you paste the embed code from youtube in your post ?

You have to put in your post: [iframe]https://www.youtube.com/embed/Pkh8UtuejGw[/iframe]

[theliadir]

@Crazycat: Yes, that's what I've been doing. 

@Wildcard
Yes, sorry. It worked now with the Code you provided:

So the Solution here is: 

MyCode:
1. RegEx: \[iframe=(.*?)\]
2. Replacement: <iframe src="$1" width="800px" height="500px"></iframe>

and in the Post: 
[iframe=https://www.youtube.com/embed/Pkh8UtuejGw]

I really appreaciate your help and patience. 

Thank you.

No problem. Just glad you got it working
