I am new to the DART module and had some basic questions on the best way to implement it.

I have around 150 taxonomy categories that I am trying to individually target. For example: Social Science-->Economics-->Development Economics. Similarly, there are a dozen other taxonomy terms under Economics that need to be targeted individually. Given the taxonomy is intuitive in the URL, if I create the 150 DART tags in DFP for Small Business, what is the easiest way to enter them into Drupal?

Do I need to configure the Context module? It is unclear about the role it plays.

Are you aware of any documentation or tutorial about the DART module?

Thank you for your help.

I dont think the context module has anything to do with this ...

What you want is to install the dart_taxonomy module that comes with the dart module. This module will automatically include all terms for the current node (ex. you are on the page node/234 then all terms attached to that node) to the dart tag so you can target. They will be added as key|value pairs in the form term=foo&term=bar (or something like that).

I also highly recommend installing the taxonomy_manager for some advanced options ... lets say you have three taxonomy terms: baseball, football, basketball and for ad purposes you just want to target "sports". Well, using the taxonomy manager moule you can specify use "sports" for each of those three terms and then instead of term=baseball you will see term=sports on all nodes tagged "baseball"

Hope this helps

Thank you for your helpful response! We implemented a test ad and it is not displaying because the code being generated by the module is for DFP Premium. Does this module support DFP Small Business? We are using the latter.

re: #2 ... nope. For DFP Small Businesss you should use the dfp module instead. Note that that module does not have a companion taxonomy module. All the taxonomy functionality described above can be handled directly without a companion. In addition you would not need the taxonomy manager module to create "term=sports". For that you can add the term "sports" to the DFP Categories Vocab that is created when you install the DFP module and then you can edit your "baseball" term directly (/term/1234/edit) and tag your term with "baseball".

Cheers

I am using Drupal 6, so the DFP module won't work. In such a case, are we better off just doing this manually? Create blocks and insert the code we obtain from DFP for Small Business? Thanks.

Unfortunately yes ... this module just doesn't suport DFP Small Business and there is no D6 version of the DFP module.

If you'd like to discuss the idea of funding the development of DFP for Drupal 6, please contact me but otherwise I think you're out of luck.

We will surely consider such an option; it all depends on our D7 migration timeline. Thanks again for all of your help!
