Though I think it's not clear where the files should be placed. According the specification the path is optional and should be provided only if the handler files are placed in different directory the the module_name.views.inc file.

Hello!

I'm trying to write my custom plugin for Views 2.0. I've found some documentation on that, I followed the instructions and I'm facing a strange problem.
Here is what I've done:

1. I've implemented the views_api hook in my module file
2. I've created the module_name.views.inc file in the module's main
directory
3. In the .inc files I've implemented the views_plugins hook
4. The hook views_plugins returns an array with 'style' index

containing an aray with all required parameters.
5. Than I've created a file handler_name.inc and implemented a class

handler_name extending the base views_plugin_style class
6. At the end I created a template file for my custom style plugin

Everything looks fine, I can my custom style plugin from the views' interface. *But everytime I'm selecting my own style plugin and clicking update, nothing happens! Style plugin remains unchanged.*

This usually means it wasn't able to load the plugin object. Be sure everything in your hook_views_plugins is correct and that the 'parent' line, in particular, was correct.
