Swedish translation for Asirra
Here is a Swedish translation of Asirra.

Though I don't get where the line ”Please select all the cat photos:” comes from – I can't find it among the English translation terms in the file. Can you help me? That's the line most visible for visitors.

 * I'm really sorry for my late response! Your post got lost between all the others, so I didn't notice. :( Thank you for translating. I really appreciate this, and will include this in the next version! The phrase you're asking for is generated by Microsoft's API and therefore can't be customized. It's always english and we can't change it. But with enough descriptions around it, people will understand what to do anyway. --Bachsau (talk) 20:55, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

PHP error: undefined function curl_init
For other users: If you get the following error in your logs and failure to create an account--my installation is MediaWiki 1.19.1, PHP 5.3.10-1ubuntu3.2 after installing Asirra and trying to create a new account, you need to install PHP5-cURL.

"PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function curl_init in /srv/www/domain.com/public_html/w/extensions/Asirra/Asirra.class.php on line 78, referer: http://domain.com/w/index.php?title=Special:UserLogin&type=signup&returnto=Special:Version"

You can install it by running (in Ubuntu) sudo apt-get install php5-curl, and restarting apache server.

Asirra not passing
I have run into a problem (using MW 1.19.1) of Asirra not passing. You can correctly identify the cats dozens of times and it won't work; it just says "Login error Incorrect or missing confirmation code." If I just keep playing around with the LocalSettings.php file (among other things) it eventually works, but I can't figure out why. What seemed to fix it this last time was moving the Asirra files where Asirra expected them to be, namely $IP/extensions/Asirra/Asirra.php. But I have no idea if that's what actually made it start working. It's a very mysterious glitch that I've seen crop up on many MediaWiki installations, and it's never been clear exactly what made it start working. This meme comes to mind. This problem was also raised at this thread. Leucosticte (talk) 17:35, 7 August 2012 (UTC)

Please clarify installation instruction
I don't understand step 2 of installation instructions:

"Extract the archive to $IP/extensions/ directory"

I've installed many extension but have no idea what the " directory" part of the instructions means. Normally I just install to the extension directory. Either I create the folder there or the "unarchiving" usually does that. Never seen the above before?

Could you please explain? DaveL (talk) 19:21, 12 August 2012 (UTC)

CaptchaStore.php?
I downloaded and installed the extension from this page, but then while running the wiki I get errors in the error_log that it can't find the file "extensions/Asirra/CaptchaStore.php". I don't have ConfirmEdit installed. I'm running MediaWiki 1.13. I believe that file is in the newer versions of ConfirmEdit, but not in the version of ConfirmEdit for MW 1.13. How can I fix this -- should I just grab a copy of CaptchaStore.php online, or would that screw things up? Thanks. Adama (talk) 09:01, 26 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Never mind. I got it to work by installing ConfirmEdit for 1.13 first, then copying the asirra* files out of the extension from this page into the ConfirmEdit extensions directory. 99.63.38.146 02:07, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
