Excel Map

Source workbook:

xxx_endpoint_bo_2026-08-04_v1.xlsm

Sheets

Sheet	Role hypothesis
dashboard	Cron/task overview and links
endpoint	Main working screen, includes Catalog maker - 20
pictures	Product image layout/status
picmagic	Product variants or image-combination helper
sql	Stored SQL statements and descriptions
cronjob	Scheduled task metadata
config	Local configuration and sensitive values

Catalog Maker Button

The entry point is an ActiveX button:

• Caption: Catalog maker - 20
• Internal name: CommandButton20
• Sheet: endpoint
• Approximate anchor: A21:C22
• Relationship target: ../activeX/activeX72.xml

Migration Notes

• The workbook contains VBA macros.
• It has an external link to an older local .xlsm.
• Many defined names look like product attributes but currently resolve to #REF!.
• The sql sheet appears to hold most data-access behavior.
• We should migrate one behavior at a time and keep all write operations disabled until verified.

Manufacturer SQL

Excel rows found on the sql sheet and confirmed from the VBA strings:

• Row 133: catalog maker / ComboBox2000 / load all manufacturer
• Row 134: catalog maker / ComboBox2000 / get id of selected manufacture

Original Excel flow:

1. Load manufacturer names into ComboBox2000.
2. After selecting a manufacturer, resolve id_manufacturer.
3. Store/use the selected id for the next catalog-maker queries.

The web endpoint follows the same connector flow, but improves the select by loading ids with names:

SELECT id_manufacturer, name
FROM ps_manufacturer
ORDER BY name ASC

After a user selects a manufacturer, the next step resolves its id with row 134:

SELECT id_manufacturer
FROM ps_manufacturer
WHERE name = ?

Languages SQL

Excel row found on the sql sheet:

• Row 173: catalog maker / get available lang for translations

The web endpoint loads language ids, names, and ISO codes:

SELECT id_lang, name, iso_code
FROM ps_lang
ORDER BY name ASC
