- layout_variant gains the value "flipcard" (onChange: reload)
- "Card Back" palette in the Layout tab directly below layout_variant:
back_headline (Text, max 100) and back_text (Textarea, richtext),
displayCond-gated on the flipcard layout; serialised unconditionally -
the frontend keys the back face on layout_variant, not on field
presence (spec 7.7)
- backend preview: flipcard badge + back-headline line
- repair "[ Missing label ]" in the card selects: layout_variant /
background_variant are columns SHARED with vitec_ctabanner, and the
index-wise Content Blocks merge dropped four card-only values from
the base item list. Overrides/tt_content.php now pins the base column
to the cta-banner lists and hands vitec_card its full lists via
columnsOverrides (respected by FormEngine and DataHandler; an items
override can only extend, never shorten - array_replace_recursive)
- spec v1.19 incl. head-matter fix (version table was stuck at 1.17)

Implements the 18.09. strategy's phase 1 on top of the existing single
importer (which stays the one write path):
- new vitec:import-product-workbooks: runs vitec:import-product-workbook
per manifest entry (in-process sub-command), aggregates a per-file
report (writes/unchanged/na, URL-mismatch and error flags, details on
-v or failure) plus a summary; without --apply every run is a dry
run; --only filters
- migrations/products_xlsx/ now holds working copies of all 100 agency
workbooks in their category folders (git-ignored) plus the TRACKED
manifest.json: workbook path -> product slug, family entries mark the
K-level landing pages (never imported), product null = unresolved.
Generated from the 18.09. analysis + sitemap column K:
68 product / 17 family / 15 open
- --init-manifest resolves open entries against the full product table
(hidden records included): URL segment/filename vs slug, normalized
title, unique slug prefix; only unambiguous hits are written back
- single command compare is now tolerant of the RTE storage transform
(whitespace collapse + <p>-wrap simulation), fixing the known
every-run-WRITE false positive on re-imports
Post-dry-run hardening, applied the same day (69 products, 785 field
writes across two runs, zero errors, verified against the live JSON):
- PROTECTED_FIELDS title/urltitle in the single command: the stored
module mapping would have overwritten six canonical sitemap-V2
product titles
- the stored mapping predated the 18.09. defaults and silently dropped
`highlights` on every product; the single command now merges
DEFAULT_MAPPING under the stored mapping (defaults as base, stored
as per-field override)
- known limitation for phase 2: the g: composed fields report WRITE on
every run (RTE transform alters ul/strong markup beyond the p-wrap
normalisation) - the change watch must compare against stored
imported values, not the database

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

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.
Solr 10 dropped the ExtractingRequestHandler, so a dedicated Tika
container on the Solr VPS (Caddy route /tika/*, own basic-auth
credential; Tika itself has no auth) extracts file text during
indexing: TikaDownloadContentIndexer listens on
BeforeDocumentIsProcessedForIndexingEvent, resolves the file through
the existing DownloadFileResolver and appends the text (mime
whitelist, 30 MB cap, 100k chars, fail-soft) to the document's content
field. Extractions are cached in var/tika-cache keyed on
path+size+mtime - a full re-index of 177 downloads drops from 2:12 min
to 27 s, replacing a file re-extracts naturally. Datasheet
specifications ("625i", "genlock") are now searchable. Spec v1.15.
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.

Closes two annex items that turned out to be the same defect seen from two
sides: markets could link to a detail page, solutions could not, and the code
that turns a page uid into a URL existed four times over.
detail_page for Solution (B-11)
- ext_tables.sql, TCA (group on pages, maxitems 1, in showitem behind slug)
and Domain\Model\Solution mirror the Market field exactly
- SolutionShowJsonRenderer emits detailUrl
- ModelcardJsonRenderer serialized no detailUrl at all: its shared
market|solution branch never carried the field. Market modelcards therefore
gain a link here too, not just solutions.
Service\LinkResolver (B-12)
- one implementation replaces four private copies (Market list/show, Usecase
list/show). The copies had drifted: Market returned null on failure, Usecase
an empty string. The contract is now explicit -- null means "no link".
- Usecase keeps a thin resolvePageUrl() wrapper appending ?? '', because it
concatenates paths and a null would tear the strings apart.
- LocationsJsonRenderer and NewsJsonRenderer stay out on purpose: they resolve
a full parameter construct resp. slug paths plus canonical, which is not
page-uid-to-URL and does not fit the same contract.
Requires on the server, the column exists in code only:
vendor/bin/typo3 database:updateschema "*.add,*.change"
vendor/bin/typo3 cache:flush
New CLI command vitec:import-downloads: reads the JSON export of the
old site (www.vitec.com/import), cuts it out of the surrounding page
template by brace counting, and imports the downloads idempotently by
slug. Scope is deliberately narrow: only files under
/fileadmin/downloads/Collateral/, records without title or file are
skipped, records sharing one file_url are merged. Files are fetched
resumably into fileadmin/downloads/Collateral/ and stored on pid 29.
Legacy filenames are normalized on fetch so every imported file
matches the <prefix>__<filetype>__<NN>-<letter> version convention:
__NN_A -> __NN-A, ___NN -> __NN, __NNA -> __NN-A, and a bare __NN
gets -A appended as its initial revision. Verified against the full
export: all 179 names match afterwards, none of the already-correct
ones change.
tx_vitec_domain_model_download gains a second category field "type"
(display taxonomy: Datasheet, Success Story, Brochure, Software) next
to the filename-driven filetype categories. No SQL change needed -
the core generates columns for category fields. The three download
renderers emit the field as a string analogous to filetype; MM rows
are distinguished by fieldname, existing queries filter on it and
remain unaffected.
Import values are matched via the custom columns sys_category.filetype
and .type (falling back to title); missing categories are created
(filetype under --category-parent, default 4; type under a "Download
Type" parent).
getDownloadFile() in the three download renderers gains a filepath
fallback (FAL -> convention -> filepath) as a safety net for any
future filename that escapes the convention - previously such records
emitted file: null.
Architecture spec bumped to v1.7.

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.
