[Koha] View SQL generated by Average Loan Time report?

[Cindy Murdock Ames]

Hi all,

Is there a way to view the query that the Average Loan Time report is using
(issues_avg_stats.pl)?  I'd like to put it in a SQL report and add further
limits to it, it would be handy to be able to dump the query to the screen
or log it somewhere.

Thanks!
Cindy

Re: [Koha] Location fields

[Lauren Denny]

Hi Charles,

You can modify the shelving location using the 'Batch item modification'
tool, I think this is found in the 'Cataloging' module on the 23.05
version.  You will need to add the name of the shelving location you want
to use in the Authorized Values for LOC first so you can select it in the
dropdown list.  Authorized values are found in Administration.

Hope this helps.  If you have any more Cataloging questions you can also
attend the KohaUS Cataloging meeting next Thursday and we can show you how
to modify items.

Lauren

In May 2022 I reported a similar problem which is (to my knowledge) 
still unsolved (the library meanwhile uses Koha 21.11.09):

[Koha] Uninstall Plugin showing as error whilst loading

[Fairlamb, Christina]

Afternoon all,

I have a plugin that I want to uninstall, GOBI from Theke, on the Admin >
Plugins page it shows up as "Error found whilst attempting to load plugin"
and no Actions button for the nice easy uninstall. All mentions of it on
the server side seem to only be in the cache so I must have botched an
uninstall at some point. How do I remove it cleanly from the plugins page?

[Koha] Koha 23.05.05 advanced editor interface hanging on editing existing catalogue record

[Rosewood Farm Library]

Dear all,

I am running Koha 23.05.05 and using Google Chrome as the browser.

Does anyone else have trouble editing an existing catalogue record using
the advanced editor?

After we switched to the Advanced Editor from the basic editor, the screen
just showed "Loading, please wait ...".  Pressed F12 and I noticed there
are two page errors of "Incorrect use of .

Kind regards,
