Hey guys
I've built an external (mini-)module with the help of this page: http://views-help.doc.logrus.com/help/views/api
using the views_api(),
with this module I only wanted to introduce new tables and fields to the views module, view type "Node".
Right now it looks good to me, but I still have this gut feeling telling me that I should ask you guys the following question...
– how do I ensure that this module is 'safe' ?
– so far I've included the views_api(), views_handlers() and views_data()? is there another method I need to include?
please keep in mind that this is the very first time I built the module, so be nice.
Thanks in advance.

The one caveat is that if you're trying to add fields to $data['node'] you should use hook_views_data_alter() for that.
thank you
@dereine, @merlinofchaos: thanks for the help guys, appreciate it.
@merlinofchaos: yes your right, but no I'm not trying to add new fields to @data['node'].
Thanks!
