Created attachment 10450 [details] Screenshot with warnings regarding preferences on About page To minimize support questions regarding common mistakes, the About page should have an additional tab that displays warnings if depractated and/or mutual excluding system preferences are used. Example: Bug 8298 Can't call method "subfield" on an undefined value at Biblio.pm (sub _AddBiblioNoZebra) See screenshot attached. Marc

Works well, could perhaps get a bit more styling, but is a great start.
QA Comments: It is not exhausive, but as Chris said: it is a great start. Marking as Passed QA Maybe have a look at http://git.biblibre.com/?p=koha;a=blob;f=misc/maintenance/mysql/check_updatedatabase.pl;h=3dfd0f894dfefe7e8ef88fadb159d9824ed7f771;hb=65a47c2bbc4987cec069aa28bd05a986c349eca0 It is a check updatedatabase script. Based on updatedatabase.pl ("old" version :)), it checks in DB if all queries have been executed correctly. It could be useful to complete your list. Note: I use the same mechanism for the "new" version (see Bug 7167)
Great idea ! Note that I think this tab should be moved out of the "About" page, in admin-home.pl for example, or something like that = it should not be accessible to everyone (sensible information could be displayed), and when you want to check your config, you don't need to see who contributed to Koha. I agree that, if we move this tab out from "About", we should also move Server information and Perl Modules as well. So, splitting "About" in 2 sub-pages: * who's-who * technical stuff
There have been no further reports of problems so I am marking this bug resolved.
