Overwrite Admin Configuration

Sometimes you might want to overwrite some Admin settings from vendors. This recipe will explain how to achieve this operation. However, keep in mind this operation is quite dangerous and might break code.

From the configuration file, you can add a new section named default_admin_services with the following templates:

        1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13

        sonata_admin:
    default_admin_services:
        # service configuration
        model_manager:              sonata.admin.manager.orm
        data_source:                sonata.admin.data_source.orm
        field_description_factory:  sonata.admin.field_description_factory.orm
        form_contractor:            sonata.admin.builder.orm_form
        show_builder:               sonata.admin.builder.orm_show
        list_builder:               sonata.admin.builder.orm_list
        datagrid_builder:           sonata.admin.builder.orm_datagrid
        translator:                 translator
        configuration_pool:         sonata.admin.pool
        route_generator:            sonata.admin.route.default_generator
        security_handler:           sonata.admin.security.handler
        menu_factory:               knp_menu.factory
        route_builder:              sonata.admin.route.path_info
        label_translator_strategy:  sonata.admin.label.strategy.native
        pager_type:                 default
    

With these settings you will be able to change default services and templates used by the admin instances.

If you need to override the service of a specific admin, you can do it during the service declaration:

        1
2
3

        # config/services.yaml

services:
    admin.blog_post:
        class: App\Admin\BlogPostAdmin
        tags:
            - name: sonata.admin
              model_class: App\Entity\BlogPost
              manager_type: orm
              label: 'Blog post'
              label_translator_strategy: sonata.admin.label.strategy.native
              route_builder: sonata.admin.route.path_info
              pager_type: simple
              # and so on
