What is the Admin Toolbar module?
The Admin Toolbar module intends to improve the default Toolbar (the administration menu at the top of your site) to transform it into a drop-down menu, providing a fast access to all administration pages.
The module works on the top of the default toolbar core module and is therefore a light module and keeps all the toolbar functionalities (shortcut / media responsive).
How to use Admin Toolbar module?
Get the code like any other module.
composer require drupal/admin_toolbar
The module has a configuration form since version 3.0.0.
Sub-modules
- Admin Toolbar Extra Tools adds extra links like what does Admin Menu module for Drupal 7 (flush caches, run cron, etc...). You must install the Admin Toolbar Extra Tools module to benefit from lots of useful links in the toolbar menu.
- Admin Toolbar Search - If you want to have the search box to look for administration pages you need to install the Admin Toolbar Search sub-module.
- Admin Toolbar Links Access Filter - The Admin links Access filter module that fixes the display of links user shouldn't have access to (see #296693: Restrict access to empty top level administration pages) was included as the Admin Toolbar Links Access Filter submodule. Caveats: to make it work on custom menu links, you should use the route name and not the internal path. See https://www.drupal.org/project/admin_toolbar/issues/3201668 for more details.
Version 3
The 3.x version introduce a configuration form to limit the number of bundles to display in the drop-down menu.
Development version status
The development versions (-dev) are where the newest stuff is, including any bug fixes and new features. We try to make sure it is tested before we commit anything, but occasionally a bug will get from us. Your help in testing this code is greatly appreciated. The translation templates may not always be up-to-date in the dev releases.
