- customer wish (via Olli, 2026-10-27): a more visual main menu in the
style of rossvideo.com - image cards instead of plain link lists; for
Insights a left-rail submenu whose hover swaps a visual area showing
the latest news and the next events
- new entry layout "spotlight" in evo_megamenu_json, built strictly on
the catalog pattern so the extension stays project-neutral: `nav` is
a flat rail from the linked page's live children (abstract as teaser,
first page media as 640px-webp image from stage 2 - the hover swap
material), `spotlight` is emitted verbatim from the new
BuildSpotlightEvent (null without a listener); curated columns are
ignored like on pagetree
- new vitec listener ProvideInsightsSpotlight supplies the cards: the
three latest news (storage pid 11, type 0 - the Solr convention;
link /news/article/<path_segment> per the NewsDetail route enhancer;
fal_media as processed 640px webp) and the next two events
(hideonwebsite = 0, upcoming by eventstart/eventend; link = eventurl
or the events page)
- pagetree columns can now carry an image (stage 2+, first page media
of the column's page): attach images in the page properties and the
markets/solutions panels turn into image cards without further code
- TCA select and label extended; README brought up to date (the
pagetree layout had never been documented) with the spotlight JSON
contract, reference mirror synced; frontend briefing updated
- activation is editorial: switch the Insights menu entry to the
spotlight layout and link it to the Insights page

- evo_megamenu_json stays project-neutral: new panel layout "catalog";
for such entries the MenuBuilder dispatches the new PSR-14 event
BuildCatalogEvent and emits whatever a listener sets as `catalog`
(null without a listener). The entry's teaser cards serve as the
featured tiles; the teaser inline field now also shows for "catalog",
and the entry form reloads when the layout changes. README section
"Layout catalog"
- VITEC listener ProvideProductCatalog fills it, modelled on the Ross
Video products menu: main categories below the "Product" root, their
subcategories as groups, products with a plain-text one-line teaser;
same visibility rules as the product list, Product Finder links
(/products?cat=&subcat=), empty categories and groups left out, three
queries for the whole catalog
- Product type-ahead GET /_json/?type=7385&q= (USER_INT page type,
ProductMenuSearchJsonRenderer): Solr restricted to products, last term
completed as a prefix, up to six product cards plus their titles as
autocomplete suggestions; endpoint announced in catalog.search
- Spec v1.23 (clause 7.16: product type-ahead)
- new project-neutral extension evo_megamenu_json (Evomedien): a Megamenu
plugin holding entries, columns, items, teaser cards and a featured slot
as nested records; presentation settings travel with the payload so the
front end reads behaviour instead of hard-coding it; published as
page.10.fields.megaMenu, driven by the site settings megamenu.contentUid
and megamenu.storagePid
- vitec:seed-megamenu fills one element from the live structure: 5 entries,
26 columns, 95 items, 4 story cards; items without a page yet are flagged
pending so the front end falls back to the column link
- vitec:debug-sets prints the resolved site set order
- read-only diagnostics: check_megamenu_schema.php, check_typoscript_templates.php
- docs: schema updates run via extension:setup (database:updateschema no
longer exists in v14), and a JSON Accept header activates headless-mixed,
which strips every set-added page field
