SVGs not appearing in image field within Perch

Yo.

I'm on the latest version of Perch. When adding an SVG to an image field and saving a page, the SVG disappears from the field.

The SVG appears on the frontend, but then it's not apparent that it's been added to the page (You can't remove it, replace it etc...)

I'm using PHP7, but it was happening locally too (php 5.6). Any ideas?

Can you show us your template?

Yup sure, it's a block within <perch:blocks>...

The SVG bit is here:

<img src="<perch:content type="image" id="a_block_svg" label="SVG Icon" order="3" />" class="block__img block__img--svg" />

and the full block:

<perch:block type="grid_w_icons" label="Grid – Blocks">
    <section class="section">
        <div class="wrapper">
            <div class="grid grid--<perch:content type="radio" id="grid_repeater_col_count" label="Number of items per row" options="One|1, Two|2, Three|3, Four|4" allowempty="false" required="true" /> grid--flex">

I can't reproduce any problem here. Are you on the latest version? Can you post your diagnostics report?

This is happening to me too. When I first uploaded the SVG, it displayed correctly in the perch admin, but when I refreshed the page, it disappeared. The SVG image is still displayed on the front end and if I replace the image with a JPEG or PNG, it works as expected. If I then replace with the SVG again, I get the same problem - not displayed in perch admin.

my template is simple:

<img class="footer-logo" src='<perch:content type="image" id="footerLogo" label="Footer logo" required="true" />' alt='<perch:content id="companyName" type="text" label="Company name" required="true" order="1" />'>

I'm using the latest version.

What does your asset badge look like when the SVG displays? Should be something like this: https://cl.ly/0L0C073l0e2n

I just get an upload link (Like an asset hasn't been uploaded yet) – but the asset appears on the site.

It's in a repeater, which is in a block in a blocks content region.

I'm not having that problem with your template here - it works as expected.

It's certainly an odd one. It was happening locally too, so unlikely to be anything to do with the server setup.

I'll update Perch.
David Maxwell-Wood

Okay, I've updated to the latest version of Perch.

Interestingly I'm getting a JS error – Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'id' of undefined.

It seems to be relating to line 785 in this pastebin – https://pastebin.com/tjshiHCG

Difficult when JS is minified to pinpoint.

Also when the SVG is first saved, I just get a blank white box (inspecting the asset thumb, the img has height and width set to 0. Setting these to the width and height of the SVG shows the SVG as expected). When the page is saved, the SVG thumbnail disappears completely.

That's very odd. Why would it appear there and not in the badge?

Hey Drew - I get this asset badge when I initially upload the SVG - https://i.imgur.com/CeV64hl.png

When I save, the asset badge disappears, and I get - https://i.imgur.com/Omn86pX.png

(the image is white, hence you cant see it, but it's there)
