Greetings,  
  
  
  
I have ‘//mautic/myContent.php’ -\> In the admin tool, I’d like to add a link this page (in nav.nav-sidebar). I also want this page to leverage mautics authentication.  
  
  
  
Any hints on how I can achieve this? An example?  
  
I’m having a dig around and have some Ideas, but wanted to ask the experts.

I’ve found: [https://developer.mautic.org/?php#introduction](https://developer.mautic.org/?php#introduction) which is fantastic.

Is there a repo or link to download all the source files used in this example? Would be nice to get the “helloWorld” plugin running as a starting point.

Otherwise - is there a very basic, bare bones, example out there?

Further, I’ve created a working bare-bones plugin based on the documentation, and pulling apart another plugin.

If anyone is interested in checking out (and improving!) my very basic bare-bones first attempt at a plugin, feel free to check out: [https://github.com/marett/mautic-mydemobundle](https://github.com/marett/mautic-mydemobundle)
