per sub-market (25, grouped by the 9 main markets): VITEC-styled Read me,
a Page-layout sheet embedding the Figma design with section markers,
DB-live dropdowns, soft character limits, a hidden Meta sheet and named
input cells. Names must NOT start with a cell-reference token - Excel
silently strips s1_-style names as repairs.
vitec:import-submarket-workbooks (dry-run default, idempotent) finds or
creates the page below its main market (hidden, layout 21), fills the six
colPos slots updating in place and never deleting, links detail_page on
the market record, downloads asset URLs into fileadmin/submarket_import/
for editorial review and writes the flexforms as DataHandler arrays.
Reading is three-layered after a bruising day of real-world Excel: named
ranges first, then a label scan over the locked column A with section
tracking - a customer save stripped ALL defined names and shifted rows,
so fixed addresses are not a contract.
Learned and fixed along the way: DuplicationBehavior moved to
Resource\Enum in v14; sys_file_reference rows via DataHandler need
pid/tablenames/uid_foreign or are dropped silently; handing DataHandler a
fresh NEW reference per run STACKS live references on re-import (caught
by a double-run test), so attachments are now content-idempotent - the
existing live reference is reused or retargeted and surplus duplicates
are deleted via cmdmap; RequestFactory replaces GeneralUtility::getUrl so
download failures carry their reason - which surfaced that the dev basic
auth blocked the server itself (server IP + loopback now allowlisted,
which a future SSR needs anyway) and that the core resource-consistency
check rightly rejects HTML masquerading as PNG.
Verified end to end on Broadcast & Media from a clean slate, twice in a
row: 12 elements in colPos 110-160, layout-21 payload, both images
attached exactly once with publicUrl in the JSON; second run reports
nothing but unchanged.
the customer workflow in mind: the customer fills one XLSX per sub-market,
an importer builds the page).
- Frontend layout 21 'Sub-Market Page' in the existing
BackendLayoutDataProvider: six zones, one per Figma section, emitted as
colPos110..colPos160 - the JSON groups plus appearance.layout are the
front-end contract (spec clause 7.17). A first attempt via page-TSconfig
BackendLayouts was the wrong mechanism next to the provider and was
removed again
- New Content Blocks vitec_markethero, vitec_marketintro,
vitec_marketinsights (field bags, serialized unprefixed under data);
the workflow section reuses intro-paragraph + vitec_card flip cards
- Stories gained quote/quote_person/quote_role (Testimonial tab),
maintained once per story, emitted on every story card; usecaselist
gained the layout value 'testimonials'
- New plugin vitec_productfeature: one referenced product as a full
product card, serialisation shared with the product list (cObj made
protected for the subclass)
- vitec_productlist gained hand-picked product selection: exactly the
chosen products in the editor's order, category filter ignored,
visibility filters kept - closes the long-standing single-select gap
- New CLI vitec:generate-submarket-workbooks: one protected customer
XLSX per sub-market (9 main markets, 25 sub-markets from the Market
category tree) - dropdowns filled live from the database, named ranges
as the importer contract, hidden Meta sheet pinning submarket/group/
record uid, soft character-limit warnings, asset URL fields
Verified end to end on Broadcast & Media: layout-21 payload with colPos110
carrying the hero element and its subline. Spec raised to v1.20.
