The getLimitedWebPartManager is not a function

Question

In the context of my previous questions:

• Updated the selected view in list view webpart

• how can I get the xml format for my list view web part

I encountered an error when running this line:

var limitedWebPartManager = oFile.getLimitedWebPartManager(SP.WebParts.PersonalizationScope.shared);

The following error message is shown:

The getLimitedWebPartManager is not a function

Any thoughts on what may be the problem?

Answer 1

You are mixing SSOM API (server-side object model through C# for example) and JSOM API (JavaScript object model).

Using JavaScript, there is no GetLimitedWebPartManager() function, as the error message clearly states.

According to the documentation, you should use:

var object = new SP.WebParts.LimitedWebPartManager()
