The same link opens the Event details from Spaces.


Steps to Reproduce
==================
1. Create a new Starter custom Portal

2. Configure WebCenter Portal with WebCenter Spaces as per the following documentation:

7.2.2 Setting Up a Database Connection
Oracle Fusion Middleware Developer's Guide for Oracle WebCenter Portal
11g Release 1 (11.1.1.6.0)
Part Number E10148-18


The connection name should be webcenter/CustomPortal and it should point to the Spaces schema i.e. dev_webcenter

3. Add the out-of-the-box Activity Stream - Quick View task flow to your page as a region

4. Create a space with Events service enabled

5. Make sure the Events page is shown

6. Create a new event on that space

7. Run your custom Portal

8. Login as the admin user

9. At this stage the activities from Spaces should show up. If they don't try the following:

9.1. Click on the Edit Pencil and make sure the following is set:
Show Me and My Connections
Show All Spaces
All Services should be checked under Service Categories

9.2. Click on the refresh icon on the task flow

9.3. Click on Administration then click on Back to Portal

10. Click the event link on the Task Flow and notice the error.
