OK here is my scenario: I have the following custom targeting criteria defined in DFP:
- key: smag-lps, values are static page names as matched in WordPress
to target a landing page for an ad - key: postid, values – user is
allowed to enter the id of a post to target a post for an ad.
The goal is to deliver DFP ads targeting either a page name OR a post ID to be chosen when creating the ad. In my WordPress themes header.php I tried:
<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>
<script type="text/javascript">
googletag.cmd.push(function() {
googletag.pubads().set("adsense_background_color", "FFFFFF");
});
</script>
<script type='text/javascript'>
googletag.cmd.push(function() {
googletag.defineSlot('/2152723/SM-Leaderboard1', [728, 90], 'div-gpt-ad-1366056066154-0').addService(googletag.pubads());
.addService(googletag.pubads())
.setTargeting("smag-lps", "<?php echo get_current_page(); ?>")
.setTargeting("postid", "<?php echo get_the_ID(); ?>");
googletag.defineSlot('/2152723/SM-Leaderboard2', [728, 90], 'div-gpt-ad-1366056066154-1').addService(googletag.pubads());
.addService(googletag.pubads())
.setTargeting("smag-lps", "<?php echo get_current_page(); ?>")
.setTargeting("postid", "<?php echo get_the_ID(); ?>");
googletag.pubads().enableSingleRequest();
googletag.enableServices();
};
</script>
It is tanking my site when I try to use php echo retrieve the current page or ID. Any suggestions on what I am doing wrong?

You can try this (you are in script tag and maybe the php code go wrong with google code)
adding the quotes into the echo string.
