Database Configuration

For full emoji support, you must configure your database connection to use utf8mb4 encoding. Edit your app/etc/env.php file and modify the database connection section:

'db' => [
    'table_prefix' => '',
    'connection' => [
        'default' => [
            'host' => 'db',
            'dbname' => 'magento',
            'username' => 'magento',
            'password' => 'magento',
            'model' => 'mysql4',
            'engine' => 'innodb',
            'initStatements' => 'SET NAMES utf8mb4;',
            'active' => '1',
            'driver_options' => [
                1014 => false,
                \PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_INIT_COMMAND => 'SET NAMES utf8mb4'
            ]
        ]
    ]
],

After making these changes, clean the cache and restart your PHP process:

bin/magento cache:clean

Usage

1. Navigate to the product page to see the Q&A tab
2. Users can submit questions about the product
3. Other users can answer the questions
4. Admins can moderate questions and answers from the admin panel under Catalog > Product Q&A

Admin Configuration

The module provides administrative interfaces at:

• Catalog > Product Q&A > Questions - Manage product questions
• Catalog > Product Q&A > Answers - Manage answers to questions

Questions and answers require admin approval before appearing on the frontend.
