I’ve tried with putting the function on the global scope, and yes, class_exists( 'BP_Group_Extension' ) now returns true, but there is no added menu item in the groups, and no slug called tasks

I only get fatal error class declarations may not be nested. I that I may have this be a function living in the global scope, but thats extremly ugly OOP-wise.

Also: according to Group Extension API/ it should not be neccessary, as this method is to declare the class during plugin initiation.

I’m doing a call to bp_register_group_extension( 'EP_Group_Tasks' ); with a class I want to extend the BP_Group_Extensionclass. Full code of the file:

<?php
/**
 * User: jimtrim
 * Date: 11/11/14
 * Time: 09:17
 */

if ( class_exists( 'BP_Group_Extension' ) ) {

	class BP_Group_Tasks extends BP_Group_Extension{
		/**
		 * Here you can see more customization of the config options
		 */
		function __construct() {
			$args = array(
				'slug'              => 'tasks',
				'name'              => __('Tasks', 'revyweb'),
				'nav_item_position' => 90,
				'screens'           => array(
					'create' => array(
						'name'        => __('Create task', 'revyweb'),
						'submit_text' => __('Save task', 'revyweb')
					),
					'edit' => array(
						'name'        => __('Edit task', 'revyweb'),
						'submit_text' => __('Save task', 'revyweb')
					),
					'admin' => array(
						'name'        => __('Administer task', 'revyweb'),
						'submit_text' => __('Save task', 'revyweb')
					),
				),
			);
			parent::init( $args );
		}

		function display() {
			//get_template_part( 'buddypress/custom/view', 'tasks' );
			$group_id = bp_get_group_id();
			echo "GET READY FOR SOME TASKS";

		}

		public function settings_screen( $group_id = null ) {

			//get_template_part( 'buddypress/custom/settings', 'tasks' );
			$setting = groups_get_groupmeta( $group_id, 'task_name' );

			?>
				Save your task name here: <input type="text" name="task_name" value="<?php echo esc_attr( $setting ) ?>" />
			<?php

		}

		function settings_screen_save( $group_id = NULL ) {
			$setting = '';

			if ( isset( $_POST['task_name'] ) ) {
				$setting = $_POST['task_name'];
			}

			groups_update_groupmeta( $group_id, 'task_name', $setting );
		}

	}

	bp_register_group_extension( 'EP_Group_Tasks' );

} else {
	$msg = "Class BP_Group_Extension not found for Revyweb_Personal";
//	trigger_error($msg, E_USER_NOTICE);
	echo $msg;
}

Edit: yes, User Groups are enabled, and I can display user groups on the frontend, but I can’t add my own BP_Group_Extention

That’s the same as I am trying. My problem is that class_exists( 'BP_Group_Extension' ) returns false, which means that what I put in my if never get executed. But I’m happy to hear it’s working for you, what version of BP are you running? And are you running this in a plugin or in a theme?
