Installation

1. Install the extension using Composer: composer req pixelant/qbank
2. Activate the extension in TYPO3 by using the Admin Tools > Extensions module or by running vendor/bin/typo3 extension:activate qbank; vendor/bin/typo3cms database:updateschema in the command line.

Configuration

In order for the extension to work, it must be configured. In the TYPO3 Backend, navigate to Admin Tools > Settings > Extension Configuration > qbank and set the required global configuration options in the "Basic" tab. Configuration options in the "Optional" tab are not required, but enable additional functionality, such as usage reporting.

Configuration options can also be set using environment variables. These will override any setting made in the Extension Configuration module.
