Overview for setting up Doubleclick for Publishers (DFP)?

Hi,

I’m preparing to install DFP on Newspaper. I’ve run a test with a single ad unit that worked, but still may not be set up correctly. I’ve searched the forums on this subject, but still can’t seem to find a definitive set of instructions on setting this up correctly.

So, I have a few questions:

1) Is there a definitive instruction guide that I’ve missed? This would be ideal of course. I don’t need help setting up DFP, etc. Just knowing the best practice for installing the header code and body code into Newspaper / NewsMag.

2) If not, then can you confirm that this is the proper way to install DFP ad code in Newspaper?
A – Insert Header code into a plugin (like “Insert Headers & Footers) which will include it in the header code of every page.
B – Insert the matching body code into the desired ad unit within the Newspaper Ads System, replacing the previous Adsense code.
C – Repeat for each DFP Ad Unit
Is this it, or am I missing some critical added step?

3) I conducted my test similar to the process described in question 2 above, except I used a text widget in the Homepage sidebar for the body code. It seemed to work, but also seems to have caused some problems with the slider on the Homepage. At times the slider appears half-loaded – typically when I have made a change to the ad order on DFP. Are Newspaper and NewsMag compatible with DFP?

4) Is there a plugin that will let you insert headers and footers and ALSO specify them for individual pages (i.e. I have ads units for the home page that aren’t on other pages).

Thanks in advance for your help, TagDiv!

Hi,

Unfortunately we didn’t do any tests with the DFP ads so i cannot provide guidance for it. Some clients included the ad code directly into the the template replacing the code on the theme default ad spots (ex header ad, post inline ad). – http://screencast.com/t/ydqCjZhNU9g3http://screencast.com/t/bUfRy0UDi8

For custom locations they used a text block/widget.
We have this on our list for a future update on the theme ad section but i cannot provide a date for it, we have a lot of features and issues on the list and we have to take them in order.

Thank you, Emil G.
