Add pre and post custom_event

idoa01 opened this issue · 0 comments

custom_event is pretty useful but I'm facing a small issue with it.
In the custom_event block, I'm overwriting the default host param, but I also want to be able to overwrite my default host with something else in a specific place.

currently, the custom_event block runs after everything so I'm always overwriting everything.
I think that adding another pre_custom_event and post_custom_event which will run before setting the Event data and after everything (respectively) so I can decide if I want my event to be overwritten with the message or not.

the current custom_event could stay the same of course to preserve backward compatibility.
