BP_Group_Extension::_register()

The main setup routine for the extension.

Description

This method contains the primary logic for setting up an extension’s configuration, setting up backward compatibility for legacy plugins, and hooking the extension’s screen functions into WP and BP.

Marked ‘public’ because it must be accessible to add_action(). However, you should never need to invoke this method yourself – it is called automatically at the right point in the load order by bp_register_group_extension().

		// Initialize, if necessary. This should only happen for
		// legacy extensions that don't call parent::init() themselves.
		if ( true !== $this->initialized ) {
			$this->init();
		}

		// Set some config values, based on the parsed params.

		// Configure access-related settings.
