YouTube profile ID regex

[Zenk]

Hi guys, could you help me sort out the YouTube IDs?
Unfortunately YouTube now offers custom IDs to people with 500 min. subscribers only, so I am forced to allow the long weird URLs on my forum as well.

At the moment I have this regex:

PHP Code:

((http|https):\/\/|)(www\.)?youtube\.com\/(channel\/|user\/)[a-zA-Z0-9]{1,}

---

Which allows - http/https +/ www:

Code:

youtube.com/channel/CoolUserName youtube.com/user/CoolUserName youtube.com/channel/xHsadRaNdOmLeTtErS_3-x youtube.com/user/xHsadRaNdOmLeTtErS_3-x

---

But it would be amazing if someone could help me with doing it so that you can just enter the ID as well, eg:
http/https and/or www:

PHP Code:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

youtube.com/user/CoolUserName - value 2 youtube.com/channel/CoolUserName - value 2 youtube.com/CoolUserName - value 2* CoolUserName - value 1 youtube.com/user/xHsadRaNdOmLeTtErS_3-x - value 2 youtube.com/channel/xHsadRaNdOmLeTtErS_3-x - value 2 xHsadRaNdOmLeTtErS_3-x - value 1

---

*youtube.com/CoolUserName - optional.

So the display format would be: {VALUE$1}{VALUE$2}

Unless there is a way to just store the ID (value 1) from the entered URL into the database?

I'm not too sure how you'd differentiate between a channel and a user (is there a distinction?), but you could just simply take your existing regex and make the first part optional.

Code:

(?:((http|https):\/\/|)(www\.)?youtube\.com\/(channel\/|user\/))?[a-zA-Z0-9]{1,}

---

It's probably possible to just store the ID in the database if you make use of the input formatter (find the last '/' character and take everything from there).

Thanks!

Code:

<if strpos($mybb->input['xthreads_kanaly'], 'youtube.com') !== false then> substr(strrchr({VALUE}, '/'), 1) <else> {VALUE} </if>

Will something like this work for Input Formatter?

@Edit: The if statement works, not sure how to trim the {VALUE}:

PHP Code:

substr(strrchr({VALUE}, '/'), 1)

---

Code:

substr({VALUE}, (strrchr({VALUE}, '/') ?: -1)+1)

[Zenk]

It's not parsing for some reason, am I missing something?


@Edit:
Nvm: Fixed

Code:

<?=substr(strrchr({VALUE}, '/'), 1)?>

@down:
Thanks

Oops, my mistake, should've been:

Code:

<?=substr({VALUE}, (strrpos({VALUE}, '/') ?: -1)+1)?>
