[brandonkelly]

Thanks! Craft 5.2.9 is out now with a fix for that.

[JeroenJRP]

Thanks!

[JeroenJRP]

@brandonkelly Hmm, the PHP error is indeed gone, but now the "Element “[name of the asset]” doesn’t have a field layout provider that defines a handle, so it can’t be rendered with a partial template." error is thrown.
Am I missing something? I would think the asset volume would be the layout provider here.

I tested this again by setting a profile photo and creating a twig template that only contains the line {{ currentUser.photo.render() }} to make sure no nesting of templates or fields were causing problems, but i'm still getting the no field layout provider error.

[brandonkelly]

Sorry, looks like element partial template rendering was just broken for non-entry element types. Just fixed that for the next release.

You can grab the fix early by changing your craftcms/cms requirement in composer.json to;

"craftcms/cms": "5.x-dev as 5.2.9",

Then run composer update.

[JeroenJRP]

Works perfectly now, thanks!

[brandonkelly]

Craft 5.2.10 is out with that fix. Thanks again!
