How to hook into Save event of CustomSettings Content Type

[kgwadu]

Similar to how you can hook into the publish event for content items, we have a requirement to hook into the save / update event for a CustomSettings content type. I have tried to look for an implementation or any information but have had no luck so far.

Would greatly appreciate it if someone could assist me with this or point me in the right direction.

On update it calls _contentItemDisplayManager.UpdateEditorAsync()

OrchardCore/src/OrchardCore.Modules/OrchardCore.CustomSettings/Drivers/CustomSettingsDisplayDriver.cs

Lines 67 to 69 in c255456

	var contentItem = await _customSettingsService.GetSettingsAsync(site, contentTypeDefinition, () => isNew = true);
	await _contentItemDisplayManager.UpdateEditorAsync(contentItem, context.Updater, isNew);

which calls

OrchardCore/src/OrchardCore/OrchardCore.ContentManagement.Display/ContentItemDisplayManager.cs

Lines 182 to 184 in c255456

	await _contentHandlers.InvokeAsync((handler, updateContentContext) => handler.UpdatingAsync(updateContentContext), updateContentContext, _logger);
	await _handlers.InvokeAsync((handler, contentItem, context) => handler.UpdateEditorAsync(contentItem, context), contentItem, context, _logger);
	await _contentHandlers.Reverse().InvokeAsync((handler, updateContentContext) => handler.UpdatedAsync(updateContentContext), updateContentContext, _logger);

So looks like you can still hook on the updating and updated events. Hmm as I remember from a : IContentHandler or simpler a : ContentHandlerBase, not a ContentPartHandler, then from the context you can retrieve the content item on which you can check if it is of your custom settings content type.
