FW Food Menu – Documentation

Coffee Design Template

The Coffee design template applies a warm, elegant visual style to FW Food Menu, giving your menu pages a coffee-shop atmosphere suited to cafés, espresso bars, and specialty drink venues. The theme covers all areas of the menu output — item listings, individual item detail pages, cart and order areas, module positions, and pagination controls — using bundled CSS and image assets that are scoped only to FW Food Menu output and do not affect the rest of your site.

Ideal Use Cases

• Coffee shops and espresso bars wanting a branded menu presentation
• Cafés that need a polished visual style without writing custom CSS
• Any food or drink venue that suits warm, dark, elegant tones

What the Template Covers

• Menu listing: Category and item grid styled for café presentation
• Item detail pages: Single meal or drink detail pages with full themed styling
• Module templates: Custom styling applied to FW Food Menu modules when the Coffee theme is active
• Pagination: Themed pagination controls consistent with the overall design
• Plugin output overrides: Visual overrides for cart, image, and other functional plugin output

Installation and Activation

1. Install the Coffee design template via FW Food Menu → Addons.
2. Once installed, go to Joomla Plugin Manager and enable the plugin.
3. Navigate to FW Food Menu → Settings → General → Theme and select Coffee from the theme list.
4. Save your settings. The Coffee template will immediately apply to all FW Food Menu output on the front end.

Important Notes

• Only one design template can be active at a time. Selecting Coffee in Settings → General → Theme replaces any previously active design template.
• The Coffee template is fully compatible with all FW Food Menu functional plugins, including Cart, Prices, and Image.
• The theme's CSS and image assets are bundled with the plugin and load only when this theme is selected. They do not interfere with your Joomla template's global styles.
• For best results, ensure your active Joomla template is compatible with the Coffee theme's CSS, or use the foodmenu18 Joomla template.
