Hello everyone, I am trying to build a mautic plugin and need your help. I have two questions. 1. How I can show these two tabs “Enabled/Auth” and “features” ? 2. I also have a form in my plugin, it is showing only the HTML form in mautic but I want to get “mautic forms” name list from the database in my dropdown input. How I can achieve that ? Given below is the image when I click on the “Plugins” in mautic setting. any kind of help will be much appreciated 🙂 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/mautic/original/2X/7/76026a996672bbd4df9835cd1a6fb141a8a74993.png) ---

I can maybe point you in the right direction regarding your first question: I would recommend looking at the respective implementation of the MailChimp Plugin you are using as a visual reference here. You should be able to find the “Enabled/Auth” Tabs in the Integration (if I am not totally wrong) of your plugin. Regarding your second quesstion, I just don’t understand what you mean by getting the Mautic Forms Name List in a dropdown. At what place would you want to show the dropdown? ---

Thanks @sdoering for your reply. I already look into the config.php and other files of different plugins, but did not find anything that I can understand. Because I am new with PHP and mautic plugin development. It will be great any body can pointout exact location for the piece of code from any built-in plugins. for my second question I mean: We have “forms” in mautic ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/mautic/original/2X/b/b3e6884b270c58448442e68e359c4b0538f2fed5.png) and I want the list of those “forms” in a drop down, which is in my plugin view. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/mautic/original/2X/2/2f6f2d4d0760102c54a632784e8141fefe2bb2dc.png) ---

Well I am basically new to php/symfony plugin development myself and am currently developing a plugin for a client that has a similar functionality to an existing plugin. This way I was able to step by step fumble my way towards a solution. Because of this I was able to point you towards the integration and would recommend to the [developer docs](https://developer.mautic.org/#plugins) as well. They helped me a lot. But I am still far from anything than a noob stumbling in the dark so I am probably not the best person to get you any further than what I did before. ---

> [@sdoering](#): > > recommend to the [developer docs](https://developer.mautic.org/#plugins) as well Top tip: recommend checking the WIP dev docs here: [https://mautic-developer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/plugins/getting\_started.html](https://mautic-developer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/plugins/getting_started.html) This is the most up to date (some parts like Autowiring are coming in Mautic 5 so they are not yet in Mautic but coming soon) and we are not far off having it completely replatformed! ---

Oh @silavapi, this is a blessing to me. Thank you so much. ---

You’re welcome! Once it is live we will be versioning the docs - so when we start to work on Mautic 6 you will be able to switch versions (bottom of page) to the relevant docs. ATM we are a bit of a mismash as some stuff was accidentally merged to main which relates to Mautic 5 🙈 but hopefully it makes sense! ---

@joeyk @silavapi Can you guide me toward the tutorial which can help new bee in the plugin development? Because I am unable to get the answers from the documentation. Maybe I can get just the answers to my questions. It will be really helpful. 🙂 Regards, Abdul Wahab.
