[Plugin: WordPress SEO by Yoast] Functions / hooks for including SEO data elsewhere

Still reasonably newbie-ish to all this stuff Joost 😉

This seems to work so far (as a test) for the meta description:

function custom_seo_info() {

	$metadesc = wpseo_get_value('metadesc');

	$martinsmetadesc = apply_filters( 'wpseo_metadesc', trim( $metadesc ) );

	echo '<meta name="custom-meta-tag-name" content="'.esc_attr( strip_tags( stripslashes( $martinsmetadesc ) ) ).'"/>'."\n";

};

And then in the template call:

<?php custom_seo_info(); ?>

Sorry…. Me again 🙂

$metadesc = wpseo_get_value('metadesc');

works, but fails to take into account the conditionals that are built into the plugin.

The full code for defining the variable with the conditionals is:

[Code moderated as per the Forum Rules. The maximum number of lines of code that you can post in these forums is ten lines. Please use the pastebin]

But it seems a little redundant to duplicate this in a custom plugin… Is there a way of using $metadesc outside the class? It’s not defined as a global variable…
