Bug Description

Mahara 1.5 dev version

When you have multiple journals allowed in your account settings and then delete all journals and want to switch back to a single journal, the error message "You cannot disable multiple journals unless you only have one journal" still comes up though no journal exists.

This is probably the correct behaviour, because having multiple journals turned off only really works when you have exactly one journal. I guess the "only" in that error message is confusing when you have no journals. I think it would be better to hide the checkbox unless you have exactly one journal.

    Remove confusing message when disabling multiple journals (bug #918571)

    When you have multiple journals allowed in your account settings and
    then delete all journals and want to switch back to a single journal,
    the error message "You cannot disable multiple journals unless you
    only have one journal" still comes up though no journal exists.

    This message is confusing, it's simpler to hide the option altogether
    for users with no journals.

Hi Craig,

Pretty much what Mahara does at the moment is that once you enable multiple journals you cannot go back to a single journal anymore to avoid losing your journals (unless I guess you only have one journal again). That's why you and I didn't see the "Enable multiple journals" tick box because we had multiple journals. Those who have not still see it.
