farcry.core.types.types has methods for pre and post processing.
They are the aptly named beforeSave and afterSave methods. You can override
them in your own custom type to do what you need them to so.
I've only ever used the beforeSave, which is automagically called when you
do a set or create Data, but afterSave should be the same.
Here's a basic beforeSave method for you. (Thanks to Mat for sending me this
orginally)
<cffunction name="BeforeSave" access="public" output="false"
returntype="struct">
<cfargument name="stProperties" required="true" type="struct">
<cfargument name="stFields" required="true" type="struct">
<cfargument name="stFormPost" required="false" type="struct">
<!--- This calls the basic beforeSave in types.cfc (sets label and
datetimelastupdated fields) --->
<cfset arguments.stProperties =
super.beforeSave(stProperties="#arguments.stProperties#",
stFields="#arguments.stFields#", stFormPost="#stFormPost.stFormPost#")>
<!--- Do your stuff here to update arguments.stProperties --->
<cfreturn arguments.stProperties>
</cffunction>
Hope that helps

Stephen
