Thanks Krikor, but you forget I am not a programmer. Can you please provide sample code. I basically just need to remove single and double quotes as to not break the meta data that the extra field is being used to populate.

I tried the following, but is does not work:

<?php 
$cleanfield = $this->item->extraFields->NAME->value;
$cleanfield = htmlspecialchars($cleanfield, ENT_QUOTES);
echo $cleanfield; 
?>

Please provide cut & paste code :)

The code seems correct. What does it produce?
PS. if this is intended for metadata where each character counts, 160 is the limit, I would personally strip them. htmlentities() will increase the character count.

This should do the trick.

Thank you - just one more small thing, instead of removing single & double quotes I changed the code to replace them with HTML entities.

I also provided the specific code to use an Extra Field for meta data

My very first Gist post :)

As I said before, I am not a coder, just a guy inspired to create an amazing Joomla K2 Website - I GREATLY appreciate the support you have shown me since day one :)

How do apply if isset/else statements within addCustomTag meta data statements (with & without str_replace)

Standard addCustomTag

<?php
$doc->addCustomTag('<meta name="anything" content="'.$this->item->extraFields->AAA->value.'" />');
?>

Standard addCustomTag (with str_replace)

<?
$doc->addCustomTag('<meta name="anything" content="'.str_replace($nonsafe, $safe, $this->item->extraFields->AAA->value).'" />');
?>

Here's the logic I am trying to produce:

<?php $doc->addCustomTag(
if(isset($this->item->extraFields->AAA->value)): ?><meta name="anything" content="'.$this->item->extraFields->AAA->value.'" /><?php else: ?><meta name="anything" content="'.$this->item->extraFields->BBB->value.'" />
<?php endif; ?>
); ?>

I would also like to be able to place multiple meta statements within one addCustomTag statement if possible...

<?php $doc->addCustomTag(
if(isset($this->item->extraFields->AAA->value)): ?><meta name="anything" content="'.$this->item->extraFields->AAA->value.'" /><?php else: ?><meta name="anything" content="'.$this->item->extraFields->BBB->value.'" />
<?php endif; ?>

<meta name="anything" content="something" />
<meta name="anything else" content="something else" />

if(isset($this->item->extraFields->CCC->value)): ?><meta name="anything" content="'.$this->item->extraFields->CCC->value.'" /><?php else: ?><meta name="anything" content="'.$this->item->extraFields->DDD->value.'" />
<?php endif; ?>
); ?>

I would very much appreciate if someone could provide cut & paste solutions for both with str_replace and without str_replace.

Here you go. This will also check if the extrafield is blank.

<?php 
	if( isset($this->item->extraFields->AAA->value) && $this->item->extraFields->AAA->value != '' ) {
		// extrafield AAA is set and has a value
		echo $this->item->extraFields->AAA->value;
	} else {
		// no extrafield AAA or it has no value so assign the BBB instead
	       echo $this->item->extraFields->BBB->value;
	} 
?>

Thank you Krikor, but I need two code samples (in context to the addCustomTag code I previously posted):

- one standard addCustomTag
- one addCustomTag with str_replace

You can combine these methods. The if/ else statement remains the same.

<?php 
	if( isset($this->item->extraFields->AAA->value) && $this->item->extraFields->AAA->value != '' ) {
		// extrafield AAA is set and has a value so render it as is
		$doc->addCustomTag('<meta name="anything" content="'.$this->item->extraFields->AAA->value.'" />');
	} else {
		// no extrafield AAA or it has no value so render the str_replace code
		$doc->addCustomTag('<meta name="anything" content="'.str_replace($nonsafe, $safe, $this->item->extraFields->AAA->value).'" />');
	} 
?>

See the comments so you can replace these blocks with the real extrafields.

Btw Nice work :)

Thanks for the compliment :)

Is it possible to perform the If Statement within the addCustomTag, so that it's like this...

<?php $doc->addCustomTag('<meta name="description" content="if extrafield-A has value render extrafield-A ELSE render extrafield-B" />'); ?>

That would not be that clean.
A cleaner approach would be this ->

You can use this gist to build various examples.

I know it's not the cleanest approach, but I have over 20 meta items that I need to render.

Currently, I am using this approach for each condition:

<?php if(isset($this->item->extraFields->AAA->value)): ?>
<?php $doc->addCustomTag('<meta name="anything" content="'.$this->item->extraFields->AAA->value.'" />'); ?>
<?php else: ?>
<?php $doc->addCustomTag('<meta name="anything" content="'.$this->item->extraFields->BBB->value.'" />'); ?>
<?php endif; ?>

I would prefer doing it all on one line, so I would not have to duplicate the addCustomTag statement (with value & else variation).

Is it possible to execute a one line statement? I would need one for each scenario, something like this...

Example: Standard addCustomTag
<?php $doc->addCustomTag('<meta name="description" content="isset(extrafield-A)
echo extrafield-A ELSE echo extrafield-B" />'); ?>

Example: Standard addCustomTag (with str_replace)
<?php $doc->addCustomTag('<meta name="description" content="isset(extrafield-A)
echo str_replace(extrafield-A) ELSE echo str_replace(extrafield-B)" />'); ?>

If so, then it would be much easier to add & modify multiple addCustomTag statements.
Plus I prefer one line statements, as they are easier for me to copy & paste for future uses.

This is what I tried so far, but does not work :(

My bad code for: Standard addCustomTag

<?php $doc->addCustomTag('<meta property="anything" content="'if(isset($this->item->extraFields->AAA->value)) {$this->item->extraFields->AAA->value} else: {$this->item->extraFields->BBB->value} endif;'" />'); ?>

My bad code for: Standard addCustomTag (with str_replace)

<?php $doc->addCustomTag('<meta property="anything" content="'if(isset($this->item->extraFields->AAA->value)) {str_replace($nonsafe, $safe, $this->item->extraFields->AAA->value)} else: {str_replace($nonsafe, $safe, $this->item->extraFields->BBB->value)} endif;'" />'); ?>

If possible - Please provide a one line code snippet for each scenario (one with str_replace & one without) that I can copy & paste :)
