Video tags

[pocaracas]

Let me illustrate the situation were in.


The template and regexes for placing YouTube video links is hosted inside the database.

Not the server code. Thus updating it, and other things, is a royal pain in the ass.

It doesn't help that one mistake in the database embedded PHP monstrosities can be very difficult to debug.

To be perfectly frank, I really would prefer to move to a solution that puts data in the database, and anything that manipulate the data in the code.

But we can't do that. Unless I go on a bender for six days and then re-implement everything....

So... what's keeping you? :p
