FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

🌐 SEO-Friendly Routing Advice
For optimal URL structure, you are encouraged to write your own custom site configuration using YAML. Alternatively, you may refer to the following example:
📝 TODO
- Turn ON/OFF the entire Rating feature, so that FAQ can be used with or without rating system
- Configure use of Bootstrap 5 CDN only if it is not available in sitepackage
- Enable rating system based on logged-in frontend users.
- Make the plugin configurable to allow update of rating data in real time or via batch processing (important for high-traffic websites).
