Silverstripe Version:4*

I would like to change the logotype that appears on the very top of left menu when collapsed (in admin area). Additionally I would like to edit the logout action beside “myprofile”.
Both above the left menu that can be manipulated through SilverStripe\Admin\ModelAdmin extension.

with this example I can add a new menu item. How can I edit the header of this menu??

<?php
use SilverStripe\Admin\ModelAdmin;

class CustomAdmin extends ModelAdmin
{

    private static $url_segment = 'myprofile';

    private static $menu_title = 'My Product Admin';

    private static $menu_icon = 'themes/mddsz/images/icon_home.svg';

}

A quick and easy way is to edit the markup of that area by overriding the template files for the admin. They can be found in vendor/silverstripe/admin/templates/SilverStripe/Admin/Includes/

Copy the ones you wish to change into your project’s template directory and you can edit them as you need. You probably want to look at LeftAndMain_MenuLogo.ss and LeftAndMain_MenuStatus.ss for starters.

Hi, thank you.
I’m a bit unclear on where in my theme template I should put these files?
Do I need to make an admin folder?
I tried putting them in mytheme/templates/Includes and ran dev/build?flush but that doesn’t work.

Are mytheme/templates included in admin area or do I need to include them somehow?

Probably easiest to put them in app/templates/SilverStripe/Admin/Includes
