counts page error resolution

[Dave Jones]

Description:
When I went to the counts page in Radio2, I got this error: "500
INTERNAL ERROR - Can't evaluate the expression because the name
"linkShortened" hasn't been defined."

What fixed it:
Searching through "config.root.radio2.users.dave.feeds.
[feedname].calendar" I found an entry that had a "ctReads" property,
but no corresponding "linkShortened" property. There were 2 entrys
like this. Deleting the "ctReads" property from each entry corrected
the problem.

More info:
Both entries that were causing the problem were from the day that
I switched over to urlShortener.root. There was a lag of about 4
hours between when I installed urlShortener.root and enabled it and
when I actually pointed a domain at it. That's the only relevent info
I can think of.

I added some defensive driving code that checks for problems in the
data before generating the table.

Please verify that the counts table still works.

Confirmed working.  Thank you.

Good work and thanks. :-)

In the future, it would be good to not immediately work around the error, give me a chance to code around the problem so we can confirm that works too.

Roger.  Will do.

As I was continuing my hunt through my multiple feeds data tables (The error could have been in any of 15 feeds) I saw this update come in and it fixed my counts page problem.
