- comparison report migrations/check_product_downloads.php (kept,
read-only): download records vs. the delivered product workbooks -
34 of 74 workbook products have a datasheet, the entire Datapath
line has none in the pool (import came from vitec.com; queued for
Joe), ~35 orphan datasheets belong to products without records;
a vitec:link-product-downloads re-run added seven clean links
(Artio x2, Diamond-H, the three TOUGH records, X-View)
- RTE resolution fixed at the root: ContentElementResolver and
ContainerChildrenProcessor passed bodytext RAW into the payload, so
t3:// links leaked unresolved; both now run RTE columns (bodytext,
vitec_quote) through RteResolver::html()
- the imported "Download Success Story" RTE buttons carried the wrong
link identifier (tx_vitec_download -> download, one-time migration
fix_download_record_links.php) AND old-site uids - missing here or,
worse, accidentally pointing at foreign PDFs. New
vitec:convert-story-download-buttons replaces them with real
vitec_downloadcard plugins: the download is resolved by STORY title
(manual map for ISR / "Okada Manilla", exact-title fallback for
suffixless PDFs like "Lord's Cricket Ground"); 29 converted, 4
stories without a delivered PDF have their button hidden. New
FlexForm layout "Success Story Download" (story_download) applied
everywhere; the FE renders it as the previous centered button
- the ADIB "Featured Products" text section (the only one site-wide,
verified by scan_story_headers.php) is now ONE vitec_productlist
with hand-picked products via old-name aliases and the new FlexForm
layout "Success Story Products" (story_products); the four text
elements are deleted. vitec:convert-story-product-sections stays
re-runnable for future imports
- the productlist envelope additionally carries "columns" (= number
of products, capped at 4) so the story grid renders as many columns
as it has products - additive key, available to every product list;
and hand-picked lists now ship successStories as an empty array (the
empty category selection used to aggregate stories over the WHOLE
tree, leaking story cards into the section)
- the story downloadcards carry header "Downloads" (set on convert
and backfilled): the front end builds the story anchor nav from
element headers, so the section now appears there
- diagnosis scripts kept: check_download_record, check_story_elements,
scan_story_headers; verified live on the ADIB payload (structured
download object, productlist [5,18,6], texts 10 -> 5)

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.
Two work packages, one deploy.
Workbook field mapping completed (2026-09-18)
- highlights <- g:Technical Highlight (new spec-row component of the
full agency delivery; composeGroup() is generic, no change needed)
- applications <- g:Why Choose Card (benefit cards as one block)
- seometa <- new composed source x:seometa (Introduction body trimmed
at a word boundary to ~155 chars - the SEO sheet ships no meta
description, a trimmed intro beats an empty tag)
- teaser stays the hero one-liner, settling the varchar(255) question
- fix: "Save mapping" now merges over the stored mapping instead of
overwriting it - an empty dropdown no longer wipes a stored selector
Product model: solutions relation and Resources tab (2026-09-24)
- closes the gaps the full workbook walkthrough exposed (rows the
import deliberately skips because the model had no place for them)
- solutions: MM multi select to tx_vitec_domain_model_solution
(tx_vitec_product_solution_mm, relatedprodukt pattern), emitted by
both product renderers as solution cards in the shared shape
- Resources tab: inline child table tx_vitec_product_resource - per
entry a type (documentation/support), an editable card title/text,
an icon (free text with a value-picker seed set) and one link
(page/url/file/record via the link wizard). Deliberately no Extbase
model: only the UserFunc path reads the rows.
- datasheets: own MM selection of download records below the resource
list (tx_vitec_product_datasheet_mm); emitted into the SAME
resources envelope as ready-made type=datasheet cards (title/teaser/
icon from the record, url = the public /download/<slug> route, uid
fallback - private/hidden downloads 404 as everywhere)
- JSON `resources` (detail payload only, like heroimage): list envelope
{layout, items[]}; a hand-written card whose link is empty or
unresolvable is not emitted; layout switches to carousel above three
cards in total
- solutions hybrid (same day, after analysing all 100 workbooks: their
Solution Cards reference the 8 GROUPS in 98% of cases): new is_group
flag on the solution model, new idempotent CLI
vitec:create-solution-groups (8 group records; title source is
AlignSolutionsCommand::TARGET - now public -, category = the group's
own category, detail_page = the /solutions group page with -N
disambiguation). Group records are invisible to the solution list
and to vitec:align-solutions and only selectable in the product
relation; product solution cards carry isGroup
- spec raised to v1.18 (7.15 member table, 7.13.3 note, revision row;
the footer had been stuck at v1.15 since 1.16/1.17)
Requires on the server:
vendor/bin/typo3 database:updateschema "*.add,*.change"
vendor/bin/typo3 cache:flush

The big product list on /products (all products, no category context)
deliberately delivered the empty successStories envelope; the front end
now renders story cards there too and filters them client-side, so the
element aggregates over the WHOLE product category tree instead:
- new allProductCategoryUids(): root category 'Product' (same detection
as ProductFinderJsonRenderer), children plus descendants depth-first,
fed through the existing successStoriesFor()
- per-category elements are untouched; forCategories keeps carrying the
category uids a story is attached to, so the ?cat=/?subcat= filter
behaves identically on both element kinds
- layout rule unchanged: first contributing category in tree order
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
sys_category gains a story selection and a layout (Options tab, alongside
the images field EXT:news puts there), so one editorial decision serves
every product list that renders the category. ProductListJsonRenderer emits
them beside the products in the 7.3 list envelope; each card carries
forCategories - the product categories it came from - so the front end hides
it with the same ?cat=/?subcat= filter it applies to the products. Stories
are collected over the category and its descendants and deduplicated.
Story links follow the existing rule (detail page's parent path plus slug,
which SuccessStoryPathRewrite maps back), taking the page from the element's
FlexForm or the new site setting vitec.storyDetailPid.
Spec raised to 1.17 with clause 7.15.2.1; the header had been left at 1.12
although entries up to 1.15 already existed, so today's two entries were
renumbered to 1.16 and 1.17.
- vitec:migrate-product-structure: exact V2 titles, Milestone typo fix (incl.
slug), QTX100 stray VSN category removed, Aligo record moved to its own
category with slug /product/aligo, new Aligo Workstation record takes over
/product/aligo-workstation
- product families (sitemap column K) are ordinary content pages now:
vitec:remove-family-records deletes the interim landing records again,
reset_subproduct_flags.php clears the misused subproduct flag (the list
renderer has always excluded subproduct=1)
- vitec:import-product-workbook: non-interactive counterpart of the module
import (same reader, mapping and DataHandler path); Arqa imported, Aligo
re-applied with the corrected capabilities markup
- ProductXlsxReader: new :copy cell selector (Body Copy with CTA fallback)
absorbs the agency's column drift; default teaser mapping uses it
- ProductListJsonRenderer: selected categories now match their whole subtree,
results ordered by category tree position, sheet order within a category
- read-only diagnostics: check_product_structure.php, check_productlist_ces.php
VITEC Import module: Products tab is now a searchable/sortable product
overview. "Edit Product" opens an XLSX upload with per-field source
mapping (component + cell), old/new preview and checkbox apply via
DataHandler; the mapping and manual matches are persisted and preselect
the next workbook. Category workbooks are detected and rejected.
- new: ProductXlsxReader (PhpSpreadsheet), ProductTextImportController,
Products/ProductTexts templates, 4 module routes
- related products: per-pair card text in new side table
tx_vitec_product_related_text (survives MM rewrites), emitted as
`cardtext` in the product JSON; missing MM relations added add-only
- card copy read from Body Copy (D) with fallback to CTA/Card Copy (E) -
the workbooks fill either depending on row type
- product detail page <title> now uses seotitle with title fallback
(provider made singleton and fed from the JSON renderer)
- per-user recent-search badges; last loaded workbook stored per product
(tx_vitec_product_workbook), Edit Product reopens on it
- composer: add phpoffice/phpspreadsheet ^5.9
- diagnostics: migrations/check_workbook.php
- vitec_usecaselist: layout + record selection like marketlist
- new plugin vitec_solutionlist (spec 7.13.3, key "solutions")
- tx_vitec_domain_model_usecase: detail_page -> resolved detailUrl
(also gives story cards in vitec_modelcard a link for the first time)
- "Show Toolbar" checkbox on product/market/solution/usecase lists
- spec bumped to v1.9
BREAKING: vitec_productlist and vitec_usecaselist now emit an object
instead of a bare array. Consumers must read products.products and
usecases.usecases. Also found: productlist had a configurable layout
that was never serialised; it is emitted now, but keeps its own 0-3
vocabulary instead of grid/list/carousel.

Resolves a cascade of TYPO3 v14 breaking changes that left every VITEC
plugin's JSON output silently empty:
1. `list_type` column dropped — all renderer page-discovery queries now
filter by `CType = 'vitec_X'`.
2. `#[AsAllowedCallable]` attribute added to every public render() —
without it v14 throws AllowedCallableException, which headless
silently filters via its "Oops, an error occurred!" guard.
3. `$GLOBALS['TSFE']->id` is null inside JSON cObj context — page id
now read from the `frontend.page.information` request attribute
(TSFE fallback kept for legacy entry points).
4. page.tsconfig wizard items migrated to `CType = vitec_X` directly
(legacy `CType=list, list_type=...` no longer exists in v14).
5. ContainerChildrenProcessor + ContentElementResolver dispatch the
PLUGIN_RENDERERS map by CType (primary) with list_type fallback.
Beyond the bug fix this commit also contains:
- Datasheets renderer rewritten to "products with newest datasheet"
semantics (filtered via Download.hideondatasheets).
- New vitec/card content block — multi-purpose card with backend
preview and layout/background/aspect/alignment/border/shadow options.
- New vitec_container CType (b13 single-column container, FlexForm
cssClass propagated into the JSON envelope).
- ContentElementResolver service for contentelement/contentelementcta
link resolution; ContainerChildrenProcessor for nested plugin
resolution inside b13 containers.
- Vitecset setup.typoscript: ContentElement import moved to top so
lib.contentElement is defined before VITEC's tt_content blocks.
- Cleanup: 98 .bak.<timestamp> debugging backups removed; *.bak.* and
/public/_assets_install/ added to .gitignore.

- New Classes/Service/ContentElementResolver.php: parses TYPO3 typolink
(t3://record?identifier=tt_content&uid=N, t3://page?uid=P#N, plain numeric)
to a normalised tt_content envelope ({id,type,colPos,sorting,appearance,
data}), recursively resolving any nested VITEC list-plugin children.
- ProductListJsonRenderer / ProductShowJsonRenderer: contentelement and
contentelementcta now emit the resolved object instead of the raw
typolink string (breaking change at those two keys).
- Product model: new field videofile (FAL, single video upload in tab
Images and Videos, mp4/webm/ogv/mov/m4v); new bool field showdatapath
(toggle at end of General tab, controls the "Datapath is now Vitec"
graphic in the frontend). ext_tables.sql, TCA, model property +
getter/setter, and both renderers updated accordingly.
