Customizing the top menu of the admin interface

Customizing the top menu of the admin interface can be achieved by creating a service which implements the Kunstmaan\AdminBundle\Helper\Menu\MenuAdaptorInterface. The service you created should provide an implementation for the function:

adaptChildren(MenuBuilder $menu, array &$children, MenuItem $parent = null, Request $request = null)

In the adaptChildren function it is possible to customize the children for the given parent by adding or removing menu items in the children array. There are different types of menu items:

• Kunstmaan\AdminBundle\Helper\Menu\MenuItem: Which represents a menu item that will be shown in the tree
• Kunstmaan\AdminBundle\Helper\Menu\TopMenuItem: Which represents a menu item that will be shown in the top menu

When the service is created, you still need to tag the service with the 'kunstmaan_admin.menu.adaptor' tag. An example of this is the SettingsMenuAdaptor:

kunstmaan_admin.menu.adaptor.settings:
        class: Kunstmaan\AdminBundle\Helper\Menu\SettingsMenuAdaptor
        tags:
            -  { name: 'kunstmaan_admin.menu.adaptor' }

Simple Menu Adaptor

If you only wish to add a simple menu item (for example under the "Modules" section), you can use the SimpleMenuAdaptor by adding a configuration:

kunstmaan_admin:
    menu_items:
      - route: AcmeBundle_mymodule_list  # your route name
        label: FooBaring Module
        parent: ~                        # attach it under specified menu item, default: KunstmaanAdminBundle_modules
        params: { source: "menuitem" }   # optional, array with custom route parameters
        role: ROLE_ADMIN                 # optional, only show for users with this role
