Mysterious reload bug
It doesn't seem to be working for my wiki. Everything looks fine but after I select the kittens and press save, it simply reloads the page and asks me to select the kittens again. Thoughts? I'm using mediawiki 1.13.1 and I also use editwarning extension. March 10,2011

Off by 1 bug in Asirra.class.php
I cam across this bug in version 0.5. The path to the scripts asirra_contentloaded.js and asirra_humanverify.js linked in the form had an extra character in front, from my server path. ie. I had  instead of  

I could fix it with this patch: $ diff -u /tmp/Asirra.class.php.orig /tmp/Asirra.class.php --- /tmp/Asirra.class.php.orig 2011-04-21 06:32:19.000000000 +0200 +++ /tmp/Asirra.class.php      2011-06-04 18:23:03.000000000 +0200 @@ -31,7 +31,7 @@               {                        if (strpos(__FILE__, $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']) === 0) { -                              $this -> asirra_localpath = substr(dirname(__FILE__), strlen($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']) - 1); +                              $this -> asirra_localpath = substr(dirname(__FILE__), strlen($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'])); }                       else {

 * Thanks for reporting. I'll look into this. Could you please tell me about the webserver you're using? --Bachsau 16:49, 4 June 2011 (UTC)


 * I'd bet this is due to the optional trailing slash on DocumentRoot in Apache's httpd.conf. Both of the following are valid for Apache:

DocumentRoot = "/home/www/xxx/" DocumentRoot = "/home/www/xxx"
 * In the first case, doing a substr at len(DocumentRoot) would remove the '/', which you want to keep as the leading slash for your script path, so you do len - 1. In the second case, doing that leaves you with an 'x' instead of a '/'.  I would recommend removing the full DocumentRoot, then adding a leading slash if necessary. (syntax not guaranteed as I'm not a PHP expert):

$this -> asirra_localpath = substr(dirname(__FILE__), strlen($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'])); if ( strpos($this -> asirra_localpath, '/' != 1 ) {  $this -> asirra_localpath = '/' . $this -> asirra_localpath; }

 * No, must be something server specific, as apache always includes the trailing slash, regardless of how the DocumentRoot ist set. Will release a new version soon. --Bachsau 21:52, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
