User talk:Bachsau

your instructions are woefully incomplete
Reverting my edits does not change this. Instead of edit warring, why not focusing on rewriting instructions so the average editor can use this program? Errectstapler 02:42, 16 July 2011 (UTC)
 * If you are going to call someone dumb, make sure to spell "all" correctly in the same sentence. Its a real shame you seem to know so much about extensions, much more than me, but you can't write decent instructions, and you won't let your anyone improve on your work.  The bottom line is this: I was trying to help, your instructions did not work, and you improved your badly written instructions because of me. that is what is supposed to happen on a wiki.  From what I have observed this far,I am willing to bet you will now go into a temper tantrum, reverting any edit I make, regardless of how beneficial. It appears your temperament is extremely ill suited for working within the wiki environment.   Errectstapler 03:06, 16 July 2011 (UTC)
 * It works for every "averange editor" but you. I can't help you, if you mess around with different addons. I'm not going to revert every of your edits. But what you did to Extension:ConfirmEdit was NOT beneficial. You put in wrong information because of your own confusion. It was no improvement. User:Yaron Koren made improvements. You should have asked for help installing Asirra instead of changing things YOU don't understand. Tell me: What part of the install instructions doesn't work for you? Read Extension:Asirra. Three easy steps shouldn't be too much for you. If it doesn't work, tell me exactly what you did, what happens and what you expected instead. --Bachsau 13:39, 16 July 2011 (UTC)
 * PS: The line you mentioned on Extension talk:Asirra was not essential. You just set it to a wrong value. I don't know why. You were not told to do so, neither in the instructions for ConfirmEdit nor mine. --Bachsau 21:18, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

Some possible improvements to Asirra
Hi, Bachsau - some of the MediaWiki developers started looking at the Asirra module in ConfirmEdit, and have made some comments about it, here. It would probably be worthwhile to look into these potential issues. Yaron Koren 22:00, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I already know about this and will change it in future versions. Please note I'm doing this in my free time and updates are coming when I've time for it. When I started to code Asirra on 1.15 there was no $wgExtensionAssetsPath and I also tried to find information about http wrappers and even xml parsers in MediaWiki, but without success. Documentation on MediaWiki is horrible. It took me hours to find out about things. --Bachsau 22:52, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm not going to argue that documentation on MW is great -- it isn't -- but if you need help, I find that asking in #mediawiki on IRC (webchat link if you don't have an IRC client) yields good results. I'm "hexmode" on IRC.
 * It looks like you have an (unused?) SVN account, but if this information isn't correct, please let me know. MarkAHershberger 22:56, 4 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, I got an SVN account, but never used SVN bevore. I'll have a look at it as soon as I find time to. --Bachsau 06:35, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

Help with Asirra needed..
We are trying to use Asirra, and have successfully installed in at http://en.wikiChiro.org, and really appreciate the extension. We have installed it at http://www.ourmed.org and no matter what we do, we get an error saying "incorrect or missing confirmation code". I have uninstalled it, copied the exact files from the wikichiro extensions directory. I have confirmed that it is installed the same way. Just does this regardless. Any ideas?

 * The phrase you cited reads "Please correctly identify the cats." in the Asirra-Module, which means that Asirra is not the active captcha method. This is often caused by having $wgCaptchaClass assigned in LocalSettings.php. Try to search and remove this line from your configuration file. There may be other reasons for the error which I can't tell just from the facts. If removing $wgCaptchaClass doesn't help, you may post your configuration file here, along with differences in the server configuration and file-system layout. I'll try to release an updated version asap, which should be easier to install and features cleaner code. --Bachsau 01:35, 19 December 2011 (UTC)
 * PS: I've also heard about some incompatibilities with other extensions. Unfortunately I can't help with those. --Bachsau 01:42, 19 December 2011 (UTC)
