AdminLTE with SonataAdminBundle

Question

I'm using the sonata admin bundle for my admin panel, everything works fine.

I was able to create services and use sonata's version of form builder, now all that is left is to customise the dashboard, I want to use the AdminLTE layout for this, so how do I replace the sonata admin layout with my choice of layout.

The sonata blogs suggests that we use a different layout too, but the docs aren't too welcoming.

edit: I just saw the AdminLTE in the vendor folder of the sonata bundle, how would I activate it? it may not be the latest version of adminlte, how do I get the latest version.

Answer 1

You just have to play with configuration

You download the AdminLTE version of your choice.

And after in sonata configuration file, you just have to override the assets and javascript entries.

Here is the doc
