I'm currently using SEO by EtherCreative on Craft 2, one of my pages needs a custom title and description injected into it like this on the docs:

In some cases, you will not have access to an SEO field, but will want to set the page title & description. You can do this by creating a custom SEO object using the function below:

craft.seo.custom('The Page Title', 'The page description', $includeDefaultTitleSuffix)

Mine seems to be throwing errors or not doing anything like so:

  {% set seo = craft.seo.custom('Discount codes and vouchers for {{ query }}', 'You searched for {{ query }}. Check out the latest live {{ query }} discount codes & voucher codes for {{ "now"|date("m") }} {{ "now"|date("Y") }} only at Vouchertoday.uk') %}

    Maybe you could explain the problem a little bit better? What doesn't work? What errors do you receive? – Robin Schambach Feb 17 '18 at 13:19

You can't automatically expand variables inside strings in Twig as you would normally do in PHP.

Instead, you have to concatenate your strings.

{% set seo = craft.seo.custom('Discount codes and vouchers for ' ~ query, 'You searched for ' ~ query ~ '. Check out the latest live ' ~ query ~ ' discount codes & voucher codes for ' ~ now|date('m') ~ ' ' ~ now|date('Y') ~ ' only at Vouchertoday.uk') %}

  • Thanks for the answer, but it seems to still not be setting the object? – JMKelley Feb 28 '18 at 16:43
  • Try {% do craft.seo.custom(all the stuffs) %} instead of setting it to a local variable. NB: I haven't used this exact plugin myself, so I'm just trying to apply logic to it :) – Fuglsetrampen Mar 1 '18 at 14:18
  • This throws an error. – JMKelley Mar 4 '18 at 12:14
  • "Unexpected token "operator" of value "=" ("end of statement block" expected)." – JMKelley Mar 4 '18 at 12:14
  • Hmm, could you post the entire line? There's no '=' in my example, so I need to see where else it could be going wrong – Fuglsetrampen Mar 5 '18 at 7:53
