 * The installation directions are there, copy the files and include the declaration. --Kenny5 02:10, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

I noticed that it was not matching any links, so I added this patch: http://paulproteus.acm.jhu.edu/tmp/omg

I believe it's due to changes in the underlying MediaWiki.


 * Yes, it was a regression bug and was fixed in the 18349 revision of ConfirmEdit.php. Vocaro 11:04, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

I can't install ConfirmEdit
How I can install only ConfirmEdit? I don't see any links. Kirill
 * Hmm... Have you read the page? If you want to have it installed on a Wikimedia project, open a bug at http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org --.anaconda 16:42, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Sorry. I don't understand, what this extansionn do. I think that moderator can approve change articles. But I see - this simple check of work people, not spam-bot. :(

I tried installing ConfirmEdit as per the instructions on a Wikimedia 1.9.3 installation. However I end up with a blank page with no errors. commenting out the 'require_once' line in the localsettings file brings the site back to life. Any idea how to allow the site to show script errors so I can see what's going wrong? April 2, 2007. Todd
 * Never mind - forgot to install the internationalization file.

Special Pages Information
It would be nice to have some mention of how to create the Special Pages files for this extension, and perhaps a sample file.

skipcaptcha by IP address range?
Anyone know of a quick way to modify this extension to allow IPs in a specific range to skip the captcha? &#x2014;Alxndr&#x00a0;(t) 00:16, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

 * It works for me in 1.9.3. Try disabling all other extensions and see what happens. --Kenny5 02:08, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Install question
I've been working on an upgrade from 1.4.7 to 1.6.10 (the best I can do without PHP5), and have run into a couple of things with this extension.

First, the captcha images I created don't render in the browser on signup. Here's example source:



I know the extension is seeing the images because if I change the path it gives an error about not finding them.

Second, the default language is Slovak (which is the last one in the FancyCaptcha.i18n.php source). Is there a quick variable I can change to fix this?

Thanks

Captcha trigger for uploads?
Is there or can a trigger be created for when someone attempts to upload a file? I've had a few vandals replace images on my wiki and ConfirmEdit has definitely slowed them down (thank you!), but the captcha doesn't come up when you upload or replace an image file.

Doesn't work
The development version as of today just gives me this:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_BOOLEAN_AND, expecting '(' in /home/pclos/public_html/docs/extensions/captcha/ConfirmEdit.php on line 308

Placing empty parenthesis: "" after each LoginForm::WRONGPASS seems to fix it:

< $retval = LoginForm::WRONG_PASS;

> $retval = LoginForm::WRONG_PASS;

T_BOOLEAN_AND
This problem still exists as of June 2nd 2007.


 * as of 12 June, I also get the error:
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_BOOLEAN_AND, expecting '(' in /home/wiki/public_html/w/extensions/ConfirmEdit/ConfirmEdit.php on line 320
