Minor Issue - DFP prebid line items not delivering - Used Custom Price Bucket Example code

[yourbackupemployeeinc]

Hi Prebid Team,

I have implemented your custom price bucket example found on this page - http://prebid.org/dev-docs/examples/custom-price-bucket.html

of course i had to change to my dfp code and add the bidder (RTB platform and params) i want to work with.......BUT i can't seem to get my prebid line items delivering in DFP.

Confusion #1.....your code example is using key "custom_bid_price", i have tried to use that in DFP....that did not work, i have also tried to use "hp_pb" (this is what is used in your video guide for adops) that also is not working.

Other ads (default adsense in dfp and other demand sources in dfp) are rendering fine....but i think there is an issue with the prebid key i am supposed to be using in dfp or your code example

Any assistance will be appreciated, but here is my full header and body code (only using sovrn right now in prebid code, nothing else) - see link here in case github is not showing my code - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1iuTNMREkrv7EWxGlU4DM2EPeVFLF2ewRODYX_woQgxY/edit?usp=sharing :

The key is hb_pb -- notice the "b" rather than the "p" in the key you tried. When I set this key correctly your page is rendering prebid ads.

Actually not sure about that, reopening.

Actually......i had to make a bunch of changes, from your example:

1. key - custom_bid_price to hb_pb
2. Your library is using old version - acdn.adnxs.com/prebid/static/0.6.0/prebid.js (currently i borrowed another library from sovrn......but if you can share your version 7 that will be great, i would love to try it)
3. I also had to switch the flow of functions to this order:

pbjs.bidderSettings
pbjs.addAdUnits
pbjs.requestBids

Overall, you have a great solution here for us......but i think you example codes are a bit misleading due to lack of updates, they require a bunch of tweaking to make them work.

The above changes seem to work, now i have some few impressions delivering on my prebid line items in DFP

That said, thanks for your response.....i may have few questions later on but so far i am a good.....monitoring this thing for a day or two

Glad to hear it. We will be updating the example files with our next release. The latest version of prebid.js is available at acdn.adnxs.com/prebid/prebid.js and specific versions are at acdn.adnxs.com/prebid/static//prebid.js. Closing, just open a new issue with anything further.
