Homescreen may fail to load after deleting a report

[simonr44]

Issue

The reports dashlet allows you to add reports to your homescreen. If you delete a report which is used in a reports dashlet, the home screen fails to load and throws a 500 error.

Expected Behavior

The dashboard should continue to load, even after deleting a report which is used by the reports dashlet.

Actual Behavior

Uncaught Error: Attempt to assign property "user_parameters" on bool in /var/www/modules/AOR_Reports/Dashlets/AORReportsDashlet/AORReportsDashlet.php:44

Possible Fix

To follow

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a test report
2. Add a reports dashlet to your dashboard
3. Assign the test report to your new reports dashlet
4. Confirm the home screen loads
5. Delete the report
6. Confirm the home screen fails to load, with the error shown above in the logs

Context

When this happens, the main workarounds are to clear user preferences or restore the deleted report. This fix prevents the unrecoverable error and allows the user to interact with the dashlet as normal.
