Why am I getting link is not a function in service portal?

[Sushma R1]

Hi Folks,

Does anybody have got this error in console while debugging even when we are not using link function in WIDGETS service portal?

Any leads would be really helpful and appreciated ?

Much thanks in advance!!

Could you share your code with us - espcially any part which contains the word "link"

Hi Lars,

Am neither using the link function in Service portal any widget nor have created a function in that name. But in each of my SP pages i'm getting link is not a function in console logs. Its not giving me any problem to run my pages, but I don't want any errors in my widgtes thats why. Can you please help me with it.?

Thanks,

Sushma

Do you have a customized header in the portal.

Since the error is happening on every page, it could be happening in the header. You can also try and remove the header and access a page, to see if the error disappears.

I blame the missing boilerplate code for the link function in the widget record:

function(scope, element, attr, ctrl){
     /* place jQuery client side code here */

}

I am really tired of having to parse the boilerplate code out of the video in the wiki doc:
