XF 2.0 Featured Thread Dev tutorial, unexpected protected

[rivacom]

I've been trying to follow the featured thread dev tutorial to build a featured thread addon. I get this error when I try to go to a Node's options.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'protected' (T_PROTECTED) in /Demo/Portal/XF/Admin/Controller/Forum.php on line 12

Here is my code from that

<?php

namespace Demo\Portal\XF\Admin\Controller;

use XF\Mvc\FormAction;

class Forum extends XFCP_Forum
{
    
}

protected function saveTypeData(FormAction $form, \XF\Entity\Node $node, \XF\Entity\AbstractNode $data)
{
    parent::saveTypeData($form, $node, $data);

    $form->setup(function() use ($data)
    {
        $data->demo_portal_auto_feature = $this->filter('demo_portal_auto_feature', 'bool');
    });
}

Any ideas what im missing?

Your function is outside the class, just move it into the curly braces for the class

Make sure brackets are in their proper position.
class Forum extends XFCP_Forum should not be closed and you have a missing bracket at the end.

Something like this should work

namespace Demo\Portal\XF\Admin\Controller;

use XF\Mvc\FormAction;

class Forum extends XFCP_Forum
{
    protected function saveTypeData(FormAction $form, \XF\Entity\Node $node, \XF\Entity\AbstractNode $data)
    {
        parent::saveTypeData($form, $node, $data);

        $form->setup(function() use ($data)
        {
            $data->demo_portal_auto_feature = $this->filter('demo_portal_auto_feature', 'bool');
        });
    }
}
