Thanks very much for those! I hadn't realised they were what I was looking for (I had found the tile post processing one before, but not the other one). I went away from the event listener and worked on a few other bits I had to get done. I will go give them another read now.
Just to make sure I am understanding this all correctly, and apologises for these probably basic questions, I am assuming that to use the event listener I am going to need a scheduler (like the IRC bot demo code) so that it starts up automatically. I am also assuming I don't need to do anything to the page in question to trigger the event listener (other than save it!). Thanks again.
