Override admin area views in custom theme Nop 4.5

Hi!,

After searching various forums for ways to override the admin area views and trying multiple possible solutions, I've not gotten any positive results.

I've the following route

Themes/MyCustomTheme/Areas/Admin/Views/Shared/_AdminLayout.cshtml

I've managed to overwrite the Register view,

Themes/MyCustomTheme/Views/Customer/Register.cshtml 

and it works as expected

How can I override the admin area views?

Thanks!!

Do you add ViewLocationExpender to your plugin ? Just keep same folder structure and file name inside plugin that you want to overwrite

Hi Rashed,

Thanks for your early response, but i'm not using a custom plugin, i need only override the
_AdminLayot view located in

Nop.Web/Areas/Admin/Views/Shared/_AdminLayot.cshtml 

and replace it for my _AdminLayout.cshtml located in

Nop.Web/Themes/MyCustomTheme/Areas/Admin/Views/Shared/_AdminLayout.cshtml

Regards!

Did you try and replace

    Layout = "_AdminLayout";

With

    Layout = "~/Themes/MyCustomTheme/Areas/Admin/Views/Shared/_AdminLayout.cshtml"

it should work ! may be any reference issue inside of your layout. please remove everything and put "Hello World" text to check that your _AdminLayout.cshtml is working or not

Hi,

I've tried the solution proposed by Yidna and it works correctly, but that would mean changing the source code of nopcommerce, and when I update the version I'll lose all the changes and I'll have to modify my changes again.

Is there a way to override the admin area views without having to change nopcommerce source code?
