DFP Manager is a Wordpress plugin to create and manage Ad Units via the DFP API.
Create your Ad Slots, define Ad Sizes and your Ad Units will be created/updated on post publish/update.

Features

• Remote Ad Units creation with DFP API
• Ad Slots management
• Ad Sizes management
• General settings
• Advanced settings

  • Ad Unit prefix

    For example your site language code like ja_ or for environments purpose test_, staging_, prod_, etc...

  • Include "Post type"

    In case you use custom posts, you can append the post type to the Ad Unit name/code

Requirements

You'll need to install php-soap extension as DFP API is based on this protocol.

Ubuntu/Debian like:
$ sudo apt-get install php-soap

RHEL/Fedora like:
$ sudo yum install php-soap

Installation

1. Git clone the repo in your /wp-content/plugins/ directory
2. Go to your WP dashboard -> Plugins -> Installed Plugins
3. Activate DFP Manager

Update

You can use the awesome plugin github-updater to keep dfp-manager up to date or just use git pull command.

Note: I also plan to release this plugin on Wordpress.org plugins repository in a near future

Configuration

General Settings

1. Go to DFP Manager -> General Settings
2. Enter your Network Code
3. Enter an Application Name
4. Upload your JSON API Key file to allow the plugin to access your DFP Manager account API

Don't forget that you should allow API access in your DFP account settings

Advanced Settings

5. Add an Ad Unit Prefix if you want to recognize created Ad Units (for example: wp_ for Wordpress)
6. Check include "Post Type" to add the post_type corresponding to your Ad Unit (like post, page or custom_posts names)
7. You can fill Ad Slot Prefix in case you want to customize IDs for your frontend Ad Units Slots

For example with an Ad Slot Prefix set to ad-banner-:

googletag.defineSlot('/5048360/test_12_post_C', [[100,100]], 'ad-banner-C').addService(googletag.pubads());

Usage

DFP Manager hook will be executed everytime you Save / Update or Publish a Wordpress post. It will check if the Ad Unit is already present in your DFP account otherwise it will create it for you.

Caution: In case an Ad Unit already exists and is archived, the plugin will not reactivate it for you.

CLI Example

Don't forget to register your Network Code, Application Name and to upload your credentials JSON file in the General Settings page.

1. Go to includes directory of dfp-manager plugin.

2. Execute:
   php class-dfp-cli-example.php

3. Result:

0) An ad unit with ID '21620414035' and name 'test_5976e475523ad' was created.  
Created 1 ad unit(s).
