    Hi,

    Google DFP slots can be used once per page. As we have different size of topic some has 15 some has only 5 post per topic. We wants to create a limited set of ad slots coz we really do not know how many the topic will require.

    How DFP ads has a unique id. It can only load once. How can be use DFP with AJAX?

    Regards,

    Hello @fropki,
    For DFP you can use ALM Variables to increment a counter and create unique IDs for the slots.

    For example:

    <?php $slotname = 'div-gpt-ad-0'. $alm_item .''; // Generate unique ID for the ad slot ?>
<div id='<?php echo $slotname; ?>'></div>
<script>
    googletag.cmd.push(function() {
    var slot = googletag.defineSlot('/123456789/GSLOT_EU_728x90', [[728, 90], [300, 60]], '<?php echo $slotname; ?>').
        setTargeting('pos', ['1']).
        addService(googletag.pubads());
        // Display has to be called before
        // refresh and after the slot div is in the page.
        googletag.display('<?php echo $slotname; ?>');
        googletag.pubads().refresh([slot]);
    });
</script>

    Basically, you pass the $slotname variable into the ads.
    This has worked for other users. Let me know.
