Regex/function not working in pagetemplate? WordPress

Torstein Opperud comments:

Hi Dbranes,
yes, as I said, I have tried the function in a seperate file, and then it works fine.

Echoing $videocode works fine, and the query works fine - all pages show up just like expected, no problems there. The only thing that does *not* work is using

parse_yturl($videocode);


in the pagetemplate.

Dbranes comments:

try to replace

$videocode = get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'ecpt_videocode',true);


with

$customs = get_post_custom(get_the_ID());
$videocode = (isset($customs[ecpt_forsidevideo][0]))?$customs[ecpt_forsidevideo][0]:"";


(this works for me in a TwentyTen theme in a page template)

You mixed up a couple of my meta fields there Dbranes, I use "ecpt_forsidevideo" to choose if the video should be shown or not, while "ecpt_videocode" is the field with the code.

Anyways - this code:

<?php // debug:

$bDebug=true; // true or false



function parse_yturl($url) {

$pattern = '#^(?:https?://)?(?:www\.)?(?:youtu\.be/|youtube\.com(?:/embed/|/v/|/watch\?v=|/watch\?.+&v=))([\w-]{11})(?:.+)?$#x';

preg_match($pattern, $url, $matches);

return (isset($matches[1])) ? $matches[1] : false;

}

$args = array(

'post_type' => 'page',

'meta_key' => 'ecpt_forsidevideo',

'meta_value' => '',

'meta_compare' => '!='

);

$myquery = new WP_Query( $args );



if($bDebug){

echo "<pre>";

echo "found_posts: ". $myquery->found_posts;

echo "</pre>";

}



while ($myquery->have_posts()) : $myquery->the_post();

$customs = get_post_custom(get_the_ID());

$videocode = (isset($customs[ecpt_videocode][0]))?$customs[ecpt_videocode][0]:"";



$videoid = parse_yturl($videocode);



if($bDebug){

echo "<pre>";

echo "videocode: " . $videocode. "<br>";

echo "videoid: " . $videoid;

echo "</pre>";

}

?>

<div class="forsidevideo">

<div class="videothumbnail"><?php echo parse_yturl($videocode); //this is only here to see right away if it works or not ?>

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=<?php echo $videoid;?>" rel="prettyPhoto" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><img src="http://img.youtube.com/vi/<?php echo $videoid;?>/0.jpg" alt="YouTube" width="200" height="150" /></a>

<a class="playbutton" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=<?php echo $videoid;?>" rel="prettyPhoto" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><img src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory');?>/images/playbutton.png" alt="Vis video" width="40" height="40" /></a>

</div>

<a href="<?php the_permalink();?>"><h3 class="entry-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h3></a>

<?php the_excerpt(); ?>

</div>

<?php endwhile; // end of the loop. ?>


gives these results:

found_posts: 2

videocode: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=9sPpmsute8c
videoid:

videocode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=tkaLTx5qk14
videoid:


Dbranes comments:

ok sorry I mixed up the fields value when I was copying your code ;-)

I'm wondering if you got extra space in your 'ecpt_videocode' custom field value?

If I run this code in my page template I get this

found_posts: 1
videocode: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=9sPpmsute8c
videoid: 9sPpmsute8c
id: 220


but if I add an extra space in front of the ecpt_videocode custom field value, I get this
videocode: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=9sPpmsute8c
videoid:
id: 220


So you could try to replace

$videoid = parse_yturl($videocode);


with

$videoid = parse_yturl(trim($videocode));


Torstein Opperud comments:

Argh, this is strange. Still no luck here (but the trim part was a good idea anyways) probably means theres something else in my theme that f**ks up this. Ah, well, I guess I'll just have to start testing to find out that part then :/ I think I'll just declare you the winner on this one, dbranes :)

Dbranes comments:

We must be able to find this bug ;-)

Here is a debug version of the parse_yturl() function

function parse_yturl($url) {

$pattern = '#^(?:https?://)?(?:www\.)?(?:youtu\.be/|youtube\.com(?:/embed/|/v/|/watch\?v=|/watch\?.+&v=))([\w-]{11})(?:.+)?$#x';
preg_match($pattern, $url, $matches);

echo "<pre style='padding:5px;border:1px solid #333;background:#888;'>";
echo "<strong>debug info:</strong>";
echo "<br/>";
echo "url: ". $url;
echo "<br/>";
echo "matches: ";
var_dump($matches);
echo "</pre>";

return (isset($matches[1])) ? $matches[1] : false;
}


this gives me:

debug info:
url: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=9sPpmsute8c
matches: array(2) {
[0]=>
string(66) "http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=9sPpmsute8c"
[1]=>
string(11) "9sPpmsute8c"
}
