I'm writing a Plugin/Filter using for example the preTranslate hook. It
looks to me like this method is called for each of the content panels:
LeftMenu, top, main and bottom seperately. I only want to do
filter-operations on the main-content. Can anyone tell me, how to find
out (from the WikiContext-object??) which panel currently is processed
by a preTranslate-call.
A suitable combination of getPage() & getRealPage() calls should do
the trick...
getRealPage() should always return you the main content page. Of
course, you'll still get called many times, so it's probably a good
idea to check whether getPage() and getRealPage() are equal so you
know you are rendering the main content pane.
You can also check out the existing FormPlugin, which uses a separate
Handler to receive the form post, or the CeryleWikiPlugin FormPlugin,
which does everything from within the one plugin. The latter was a bit
tricky since it has to be aware of the various modes during a page
lifecycle. It's not straightforward (you'll likely have to fiddle with
it a lot), but you might find some clues there as to how to perform the
processing you want during the PreTranslate phase.

It's also possible to use a WikiEventListener to receive events
indicating the PreTranslate phase, adding a filter within the
listener for page name, etc.
