11. 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 admin_services with the following templates:

            # templates configuration
            templates:
                # view templates
                view:
                    user_block:             mytemplate.twig.html
                # form related theme templates => this feature need to be implemented by the Persistency layer of each Admin Bundle
                form:   ['MyTheme.twig.html', 'MySecondTheme.twig.html']
                filter: ['MyTheme.twig.html', 'MySecondTheme.twig.html']

With these settings you will be able to change default services and templates used by the id.of.admin.service` admin instance.
