drupal - Can't create custom handler for Views2 -

basically want create custom handler unserialize db field called birthday.

i've managed correctly output field serialized using default views_handler_field. unfortunately when try create custom handler, message:

error: handler drappsprofiles > birthday doesn't exist!

here's file structure:

all/modules/drapps/drappsprofile/   |->drappsprofiles.views.inc   |->drappsprofiles.module   |->drappsprofiles.install   |->drappsprofiles.info   |->drappsprofiles.inc   |->drappsprofiles_handler_field_birthday.inc 

here's drappsprofiles.module

/**  * views2 module  * implementation hook_views_api  **/ function drappsprofiles_views_api() {   $info['api'] = 2;   return $info; }  /*****************************************************************************  *                                  includes  **/    // loads google apps profile integration   module_load_include('inc', 'drappsprofiles'); (...) 

here's drappsprofiles.views.inc

/**  *  * implementation of hook_views_handlers().  *  **/ function drappsprofiles_views_handlers() {   return array(     'handlers' => array(       'drappsprofiles_handler_field_birthday' => array(         'parent' => 'views_handler_field',       )     )   ); }    /**  * implementation of hook_views_data().  *  * @return array  **/ function drappsprofiles_views_data() {  (...)     $data['drappsprofiles']['birthday'] = array(             'title' => t('birthday'),             'help' => t('users birthday'),             'field' => array(                 'handler' => 'drappsprofiles_handler_field_birthday',                 'click sortable' => false,             ),     );     return $data; } 

drappsprofiles_handler_field_birthday.inc

<?php /**  *  * custom views handler birthday  *  */ class drappsprofiles_handler_field_birthday extends views_handler_field {    function render($values) {      $val = unserialize($values->{$this->field_alias});      return ($val);   } } 

it seems drappsprofiles_handler_field_birthday.inc not being read, although can't figure out why.

any appreciated. (i've been around 2 weeks!)

assuming (...) in .views.inc conceals code like:

  $data['drappsprofiles']['table']['group'] = t('drappsprofiles');   $data['drappsprofiles']['table']['base'] = array(      'field' => 'birthday',      );   $data['drappsprofiles']['table']['join'] = array(     '#global' => array(),   ); 

which assuming since field has group select can missing handler..

then next thing @ still in .views.inc in module_views_handlers() { :

  return array( ++  'info' => array( ++    'path' => drupal_get_path('module','drappsprofilse'), ++    ),      'handlers' => array( 

and beyond that, hate it, uninstalling , reinstalling module apparently refreshes recent code tweaks .views.inc .. know had bunch of times, noticed too.
