Adding YOAST Open Graph Image programmatically - php

Question

I have a problem regarding the YOAST:og images. Normally you would have to add an image manually for each post/CPT post, but I would like to add the whole thing dynamically for a CPT post. It should be noted that I would like to store a dynamic image URL, depending on what is set for the contribution/post.
I have already tried the following approach:
function add_yoast_data_when_save( $post_id, $post ) {
if ( defined( 'DOING_AUTOSAVE' ) && DOING_AUTOSAVE ) {
return $post_id;
}
// Don't save revisions and autosaves
if ( wp_is_post_revision( $post_id ) || wp_is_post_autosave( $post_id ) ) {
return $post_id;
}
$yoast_opengraph_image = get_post_meta( $post_id, '_yoast_wpseo_opengraph-image', true );
$yoast_twitter_image = get_post_meta( $post_id, '_yoast_wpseo_twitter-image', true );
if ( $post->post_type == 'news' ) {
if ( empty( $yoast_opengraph_image ) || empty( $yoast_twitter_image ) ) {
$elementor_data = get_post_meta( $post_id, '_elementor_data', true );
$all_images_array = get_all_elementor_images( $elementor_data );
if ( isset( $all_images_array['teaser'][0] ) && ! empty( $all_images_array['teaser'][0] ) ) {
if ( empty( $yoast_opengraph_image ) ) {
update_post_meta( $post_id, '_yoast_wpseo_opengraph-image', $all_images_array['teaser'][0] );
}
if ( empty( $yoast_twitter_image ) ) {
update_post_meta( $post_id, '_yoast_wpseo_twitter-image', $all_images_array['teaser'][0] );
}
}
}
}
if ( $post->post_type == 'calendar' ) {
$status = get_post_meta( $post_id, 'status', true );
if ( $status == 'normal' ) {
$image = wp_get_attachment_url( get_post_meta( $post_id, 'image', true ) );
if ( empty( $yoast_opengraph_image ) || empty( $yoast_twitter_image ) ) {
if ( empty( $yoast_opengraph_image ) ) {
update_post_meta( $post_id, '_yoast_wpseo_opengraph-image', $image );
}
if ( empty( $yoast_twitter_image ) ) {
update_post_meta( $post_id, '_yoast_wpseo_twitter-image', $image );
}
}
} else {
$elementor_data = get_post_meta( $post_id, '_elementor_data', true );
$all_images_array = get_all_elementor_images( $elementor_data );
if ( isset( $all_images_array['teaser'][0] ) && ! empty( $all_images_array['teaser'][0] ) ) {
if ( empty( $yoast_opengraph_image ) ) {
update_post_meta( $post_id, '_yoast_wpseo_opengraph-image', $all_images_array['teaser'][0] );
}
if ( empty( $yoast_twitter_image ) ) {
update_post_meta( $post_id, '_yoast_wpseo_twitter-image', $all_images_array['teaser'][0] );
}
}
}
}
}
add_action( 'save_post', 'add_yoast_data_when_save', 10, 2 );
function get_all_elementor_images( $elementor_data ) {
$all_images_array = array();
if ( ! empty( $elementor_data ) ) {
$decode_json = json_decode( $elementor_data, true );
$result = array();
array_walk_recursive(
$decode_json,
function( $value, $key ) use ( &$result ) {
if ( $key === 'url' ) {
$result[] = $value;
}
}
);
foreach ( $result as $key_image => $image ) {
$attachment_id = attachment_url_to_postid( $image );
$quote = wp_get_attachment_image_src( $attachment_id, 'quote' );
$teaser = wp_get_attachment_image_src( $attachment_id, 'teaser' );
$col_6 = wp_get_attachment_image_src( $attachment_id, 'col-6' );
$col_4 = wp_get_attachment_image_src( $attachment_id, 'col-4' );
$col_3 = wp_get_attachment_image_src( $attachment_id, 'col-3' );
$col_2 = wp_get_attachment_image_src( $attachment_id, 'col-2' );
if ( ! empty( $quote[0] ) ) {
$all_images_array['quote'][] = $quote[0] . ',';
}
if ( ! empty( $teaser[0] ) ) {
$all_images_array['teaser'][] = $teaser[0] . ',';
}
if ( ! empty( $col_6[0] ) ) {
$all_images_array['col-6'][] = $col_6[0] . ',';
}
if ( ! empty( $col_4[0] ) ) {
$all_images_array['col-4'][] = $col_4[0] . ',';
}
if ( ! empty( $col_3[0] ) ) {
$all_images_array['col-3'][] = $col_3[0] . ',';
}
if ( ! empty( $col_2[0] ) ) {
$all_images_array['col-2'][] = $col_2[0] . ',';
}
}
}
return $all_images_array;
}
As you can see, I would like to update the YOAST metadata in the post metas on the "save_post" action hook. However, YOAST overwrites this parameter every time you update the post and I can't set this post meta dynamically.
In general, this complete function should be there so that editors should not maintain this data manually, but is set dynamically when the data is saved.
I hope you can help me with this topic.
Thank you in advance.
