[development] Making your data act like a field

After reading Eaton's well-written article http://www.lullabot.com/articles/great-pretender-making-your-data-act-field, I tried this in a module I work on. The fields are definitely showing on "Manage fields" in CCK. However, those added fields do not seem to be available to Views. One of the reasons why I am really interested in making this change is so that something like Node Export can see these fields automatically. What more needs to be done to the suggested code to have CCK reflect these fields to other modules? Nancy E. Wichmann, PMP Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. -- Dr. Martin L.
