How Can I Customize the SyliusWebBundle Backend Menu?

Using the Sylius Standard edition for my project, I have integrated extra features by adding new models with SyliusResourceBundle. Now, I need to incorporate these models into the main backend menu. What is the recommended method to override the default menu configuration provided in SyliusWebBundle without modifying its core files directly? I want to extend the menu configuration similarly to how other elements are overridden in the system.

hey try creating a custom bundle that override the default menu builder service. u can add your modles via your own yaml config and use compiler pass for prio tweaks. worked for me, hope it helps.

In my experience working with Sylius, I have found that decorating the backend menu builder service is a reliable approach for customization. By creating a custom decorator, you can inject additional menu items into the existing menu without modifying any core configuration files. This means using your own service to extend or tweak the menu structure provided by SyliusWebBundle, ensuring that your changes remain intact even when the SyliusStandard edition is updated. This approach not only preserves flexibility but also maintains the overall integrity of the system.

hey, im tinkering with service aliasing to add menus without touching core files. i’ve had mixed result with caching, tho. has anyone else tried a diff approach for cleaner integration? would love to hear other experince or tipz!

hey, i opted for an event-subscrptn method to add new menu items when the backend starts building the menu. works decently and i didnt face any core issues. give it a try if you wanna keep things separated!

My experience has been that utilizing a dedicated customization bundle can be an effective way to modify the backend menu while keeping the core files intact. I configured a separate bundle that not only overrides the default menu configuration but also merges custom parameters by extending the available configuration classes. This approach leverages standard Symfony dependency injection techniques, ensuring that the modifications are applied during the container compilation phase. It allows flexibility in maintaining customizations and prevents conflicts during upgrades, thus providing a clean separation between custom code and the core system.
