Download packages

Login to your account on ThemeXpert.com. Go to the Downloads > Joomla Templates > Eatery from Dashboard.

The Eatery template download section includes the following files:

1. Eatery Quickstart Package
2. Eatery Template
3. Quix Presets

The Quix panel includes the following files:

1. Quix 4 (J4 & J5)
2. Quix Installer (Recommended)

Quickstart (Demo) Installation

To set up the quickstart, you should follow the same steps as you would for installing Joomla 5. You cannot add the quickstart to an existing Joomla 5 site through the extension manager because it includes all the core files of Joomla 5. Therefore, simply install the quickstart package as you would install Joomla 5. Follow the quickstart installation guide for detailed instructions.

Manual Installation

Install the Eatery template and Quix page builder (pro) on your existing Joomla website. Go to Extensions > Upload Package Files from the Install section in the site administrator panel System Dashboard. Drag and Drop or Browse the following files

1. Eatery Template
2. Quix Pro

 

Eatery Template Installation

The Eatery template already includes the Helix Ultimate framework, so you don't need to install it separately. The framework is part of the Eatery Template .zip file, which simplifies the process.

After installing the template, navigate to the Plugin Manager in the Manage section of the System Dashboard. In the search field, type "Helix Ultimate" and press Enter or click the Search icon. This will bring up the System-Helix Ultimate Framework plugin. Check the box next to it and click the Enable button to activate the plugin.

 

Quix Pro Installation

Please note the following information: There are two versions of the Quix files available for installation: Quix 4 and the Quix installer. Quix 4 is the complete package of the Quix page builder and is contained in a file named pkg_quix_pro.zip with a size of 11 MB. However, Joomla has a file upload limit of 2MB for installations, which may pose a challenge for users who are not familiar with technical procedures to increase the limit via the server or cPanel.

To address this limitation, we strongly recommend users to install the Quix installer file instead. The Quix installer's file name is com_iquix-1.7.0.zip, and it's only 48KB in size. Installing the Quix page builder using the Quix installer involves only 5 simple steps.

To simplify the installation process, we highly recommend following the detailed instructions provided here: 

(https://www.themexpert.com/docs/quix-builder/basics/installation).

 Import Quix Presets

To create a new page in the Quix Panel, click on the "New Page" button and enter the desired page name. For example, you can name it "Home." After creating the Home page, you can access the page builder. To import Quix presets, follow these steps:

1. Click on the "Bar" icon on the right side of the top bar to open a dropdown menu.

2. From the dropdown menu, select "Import JSON."

4. To import these files, you have two options: you can either drag and drop each file into the Import field, or you can upload them one by one. Make sure to import all files before proceeding.

5. Once you have imported all the JSON files, you can open the My Templates panel by clicking on the "Add template" button below the builder. The My Templates panel will allow you to view, edit, and use the imported Quix presets for your website.
