To create dynamic and exciting sidebar menu, you need a database for the storage and website templates that facilitate in making the layout (In this article, I use adminLTE bootstrap, read my other tutorial here or check adminLTE official website for more information).
In this tutorial you will find information about creating and managing dynamic sidebar menu with mysql and adminLTE Bootstrap.
Table of Contents
Add new table in your database with name dynamic_menu , copy this table structure below to you
| Column Name | Data type | Length | Primary Key | Not null | auto increment |
| id | tinyint | 3 | yes | yes | yes |
| parent_id | tinyint | 3 | yes | ||
| title | varchar | 100 | yes | ||
| url | varchar | 100 | yes | ||
| menu_order | tinyint | 3 | yes | ||
| status | tinyint | 1 | |||
| level | tinyint | 1 | |||
| icon | varchar | 100 | |||
| description | varchar | 150 |
Or run this mysql script with include example menu

In adminLTE code, we will find code below to create sidebar menu
1 2 3 | <aside class="left-side sidebar-offcanvas"> .............. </aside> |
Change these code with my code below to creating dynamic sidebar menu

You can modify my code as you wish, if any question about how to create dynamic sidebar menu in adminLTE bootstrap, please leave comment 🙂
Thank you for sharing this code!
There is a small typo in the query ….FROM menu ORDER BY menu_order’);
should be ….FROM dynamic_menu ORDER BY menu_order’); instead.
thx u 🙂
i want to know how to set user permission view for certain module
hello ahmad, i create tutorial how to set user permissions view for certain module here
How To Create User Permissions View To Dynamic Sidebar Menu AdminLTE
hope resolve your problem 🙂
Terima kasih tutorialnya, bermanfaat buat saya.
mungkin dikoreksi kali querynya kurang tepat ya harusnya diganti tabelnya jangan menu, khawatir bagi yang baru belajar kebingungan kenapa tidak bisa running.
terimakasih atas sarannya 🙂
many thanks for your work
I found that it doesn’t add active class to the submenu after it was clicked.
thanks again
yes, i didnt add active class to submenu.. you can add new class with jquery
example :
$("#menux").find("li.menu2").addClass("active")Bro. can you help to give the full code for this?
Just follow these step.. Its easy and simple. 🙂
Mohon petunjuknya gan.
Itu kan sub menu nya punya class ‘treeview-menu’ yah
Kalo di template yang sub menu class nya beda-beda seperti class ‘second-level’ , ‘third-level’, ‘fourth-level’ , gimana yah caranya. saya coba utak-utik kok stuck. yang harusnya di level 1, masuk ke level 2, karena dia punya sub menu lagi. mohon arahannya, thank you
Maksut anda multilevel ? didalam sub menu terdapat submenu lagi ?
mungkin baca yang ini aja https://seegatesite.com/how-to-create-user-permissions-view-to-dynamic-sidebar-menu-adminlte/ , lebih komplit, tetapi saya belum membuat artikel yang pake PDO.
di artikel yang saya berikan pada link diatas, saya membuat 2 tabel, yaitu tabel menu dan tabel sub_menu. Untuk merubah treeview-menu tambahkan field baru untuk menampung nama class pada tabel menu. Silahkan di baca-baca dl aja artikel yang https://seegatesite.com/how-to-create-user-permissions-view-to-dynamic-sidebar-menu-adminlte/ . Kalo ada waktu akan saya bikinkan yang multilevel dengan PDO. 🙂
Sudah saya bikinkan tutorialnya, silahkan download disini.
cara membuat dinamik menu dan multilevel menggunakan PDO
url : mediafire.com/?iaao2g9blb9gsee
pass : seegatesite.com
Cuman saya belum membuat artikel diweb ini. semoga membantu
Mohon bantuannya, bagaimana membuat menu dinamis seperti diatas bila menggunakan mysqli?
Menurut agan, untuk menu bertingkat/multilevel baiknya menggunakan 1 tabel saja atau pakai 2 tabel (tbl menu dan tbl submenu).. Terima kasih sebelumnya.
Baca artikel ini https://seegatesite.com/how-to-create-user-permissions-view-to-dynamic-sidebar-menu-adminlte/ mungkin dapat membantu anda.
Menurut saya pribadi saya lebih suka menggunakan 2 tabel seperti link yang telah saya berikan diatas. Untuk penggunaan dengan PDO, artikel sedang saya bikin 🙂
Mau nanya, kalau dengan menggunakan metode diatas ingin dibuat hak usernya seperti https://seegatesite.com/how-to-create-user-permissions-view-to-dynamic-sidebar-menu-adminlte/ bagaimana mas Sigit? Jadi hak user atas menu disimpan pada tabel usernya seperti tutorial yang di link barusan… Mohon bantuannya…
iya… hak akses menu usernya disimpan di table user. Id submenunya dipisahkan dengan koma. Kemudian ketika melakukan looping sub menu , cek masing2 id sub menu apakah ada field user.
Catatan : hak akses user yang di simpan di table user dipisahkan dengan koma. Cara aksesnya , silahkan gunakan fungsi explode pada PHP untuk dsimpan dalam array. Kemudian cek array tersebut dengan fungsi in_array
Semoga menjawab pertanyaan 🙂
Why the php code break after ‘->’ operator at $hasil=$database ->
idk why but entire query string is not operated as well
sory i didnt understand, where is your error ?
i’m using IntelliJ and MS SQL SERVER 2014, and the php code break after
