DFP Ads Tag Not Rendering with Dynamic DIV Injection

StackOverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21465801

Question

Loading the Dynamic Rotator Kind of Dynamic HTML Style appended into the body using the Ajax Call. The ADs DIV ID will be appended dynamically into the body of the Rotator in the Collapsed Mode.

Using DFP Iframe Ads with size 180x150

On Initial Page Load Not Having the DIV ID in the Web Page Source.

I have an Scenario of Appending the DIV Id's Dynamically into the body of the web Page through Ajax Call.

Code Flow:

Added the GPT Library Inclusion inside the HEAD Tag of the Web Page.

<head>
<script type='text/javascript'>
var googletag = googletag || {};
googletag.cmd = googletag.cmd || [];
(function() {
var gads = document.createElement('script');
gads.async = true;
gads.type = 'text/javascript';
var useSSL = 'https:' == document.location.protocol;
gads.src = (useSSL ? 'https:' : 'http:') +
'//www.googletagservices.com/tag/js/gpt.js';
var node = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
node.parentNode.insertBefore(gads, node);
})();
</script> 
</head>

AS well Defining the SLOT in the cmd.push() method in the HEAD Tag which will make the Call to the DFP Server. Disabled the Initial Load ,because the define slot will check for the DIV ID during the initial page load which throws error.

<head>
<script type='text/javascript'>
var slot1 = '';
googletag.cmd.push(function() {
slot1 = googletag.defineSlot('/12638013/Connect_180x150', [180, 150], 'div-gpt-ad-  1389885200465-0').addService(googletag.pubads());
googletag.pubads().enableSingleRequest();
googletag.pubads().disableInitialLoad();
googletag.enableServices();
}); 
</script>
</head>

Once the Page get Loads with the above scripts in the HEAD Tag.Through Ajax Call appending the DIV ID into the body of the web page.

jQuery('body').append('<div id="div-gpt-ad-1389885200465-0" style="width:180px;    height:150px;"><script type="text/javascript">googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display("div-gpt-ad-1389885200465-0"); });</script></div>');

After the DIV ID is rendered Dynamically into the web page. Do an Refresh of the ads slot defined in the HEAD Tag.

googletag.pubads().refresh([slot1]);

End Result:

Verified the Above Page with the Google Debug Console.

The Page Request goes without any errors, states that Page Tagged Correctly.

But the Ads Not Rendered inside the rotator into which the DIV is dynamically injected.

Anything I missing out ? Suggestions will be useful for me.

Was it helpful?

Solution

Was having the same issue myself for ages.... then I found this: https://plugins.jquery.com/dfp/

You can basically drop all the Google JS and use the 2-3 line solution provided. The only obstacle I came up against was missing the "enableSingleRequest" option.... needed to set it to false if you're loading ads more than once on a page.
