PF Enterprise FAQ
Common questions about setting up and maintaining a PF Enterprise site.
Content Cache
Changes to content made within Umbraco or to files in your FTP directory can take some time to show up on the site due to caching.
Type Cache Duration Changes to Umbraco Content Up to 1 Hour Changes to FTP Content Up to 15 Minutes
CSS Styling
We recommend that you provide an appropriate css namespace scope for your styles to ensure they do not conflict with the default styling.

JavaScript Libraries
Photo Finale includes a number of JS libraries. Umbraco content that includes these same libraries (or different versions of them) will likely cause conflicts and should be avoided.
- ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js
- ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.18/jquery-ui.min.js
- json2.js
- jquery.fancybox-1.3.4.js
- jquery.blockui.js
- jquery.linq.js
The versions included are updated regularly. We'll endeavor to keep this page up-to-date, but you can always verify by simply doing a View Source on one of your pages in PF Enterprise.
Customer Sign-In
There are several methods available to hook up a "Sign In" link to
- Method 1 - CSS:
Give your <href> an html id of "signInLink"
- Method 2 - JavaScript:
The following Javascript call will connect your Sign In link to the appropriate action.
PF.loginDialog(<jquerySelector>);

jQueryUI Usage
If you plan to use jQueryUI in your Umbraco content, please note that we provide a base set of jQueryUI styles. You should plan to provide overrides for all of our default stylings. Contact us for additional details.
