I will change it to be a disabled setting rather than an ignored one.

Perhaps this is worth investigating a change to pieforms.

    Add workaround for extra blogs that are hidden via old data etc (bug #942239)

    While commit 0af8ce9e1a659baa49fa0c9732f06d735e0d7462 makes it so new copied
    journals etc shouldn't get lost, there are accounts that had copied journals
    from before commit 5e07db540e35b5647f39ffddf6f269d68bc4bc36 went into effect,
    and are now hence hidden. This new commit works around that so that the option
    to enable multiblogs is visible if it is somehow disabled for someone with
    multiple journals, rather than just being ignored for everyone with multiple
    journals. A discreet notice has been placed on /artefact/blog/view/ so that
    the user knows.

    Swap multiple journals hidden option to disabled instead of ignored

    (bug #942239)

    The multiple journals option needs to be not changeable if users
    have more than one journal. However removing it altogether is
    confusing. Disabling the option is less confusing.

Hi,
What can I do in the mean time?
A student has reports that they cannot see the "Enable Journals"
  option in their settings, so it must be enabled.

  However they only have the one journal with "New Entry" and "Settings"
  without any option to create a new journal, or see there other ones.

Thanks.

Hi Shane,

You can set run the following sql statement, with the <USER ID HERE> token replaced by the user's id field from the usr table, eg, 246.

UPDATE usr_account_preference SET value = 1 WHERE field = 'multipleblogs' AND usr = <USER ID HERE>;

Thanks very much for the advice.
