Hi. Just want to share my solution.
As for the problems with quotes. As I said before, i’m was facing with problems - regexp not capture quotes then:
- username and post id may be enclosed in double quotes
- nested quotes
I decided to do a search and replace using a different logic. Instead of searching for tags and their contents, I used a regular expression that searches only for tags:
was:
raw.gsub!(%r{\[quote="?([^;]+);(\d+)"?\](.+?)\[\/quote\]}im) do
became:
raw.gsub!(%r{(\[QUOTE(="?([^;]+);(\d+)"?)?\])|(\[\/QUOTE\])}im) do
and then little change the determining the source of a quote:
if $3 && $4
if topic_lookup = topic_lookup_from_imported_post_id(post_id)
post_number = topic_lookup[:post_number]
topic_id = topic_lookup[:topic_id]
"\n[quote=\"#{new_username},post:#{post_number},topic:#{topic_id}\"]\n"
else
"\n[quote=\"#{new_username}\"]\n"
end
elsif $5
"\n[/quote]\n"
end
Also, I change the spoiler’s code. Instead of:
# [spoiler=Some hidden stuff]SPOILER HERE!![/spoiler]
raw.gsub!(%r{\[spoiler="?(.+?)"?\](.+?)\[/spoiler\]}im) do
"\n#{$1}\n[spoiler]#{$2}[/spoiler]\n"
end
that blured text, I convert it to details tag:
raw.gsub!(%r{(\[spoiler(="?(.*?)"?)?\])|(\[\/spoiler\])}im) do
if $3
"\n[details=#{$3}]\n"
elsif $1
"\n[details]\n"
elsif $4
"\n[/details]\n"
end
end
Because it just so happens that in the vbulletin world - sploiler it is not the blurred content, but rather the collapsed content. So I think it is much more appropriate for the vbulletin import script to convert spoilers to details instead of the blurred spoiler.
I also noticed the mention tag. In my case, in vbulletin, the mentions looked like this:
[mention=XXX]username[/mention]
The regular expression used in the script does not take into account that the tag may contain the user id.
# [MENTION]<username>[/MENTION]
raw.gsub!(%r{\[mention\](.+?)\[/mention\]}i) do
new_username = get_username_for_old_username($1)
"@#{new_username}"
end
I fixed this in my own way too:
# [MENTION]<username>[/MENTION]
raw.gsub!(%r{\[mention(=\d+)?\](.+?)\[/mention\]}i) do
new_username = get_username_for_old_username($2)
"@#{new_username}"
end
