Hello guys,

I’m currently working on the chat feature. I’ve seen the videos and some tutorials and cloned the kit but it still won’t work. Here it is:

- I have a list of items with a detailed with. On the detailed view I want the users to be able to connect with the user that posted the item specifically. Then a modal opens to message the seller for example and create a conversation. Please see below:

So when the user clicks the modal it creates a new conversation and a new message (first message).

I then want the user to be able to see all his conversations and for each conversation a chat.

According to the tutorial, it has a connection between conversations and users to make them “members”. However, it won’t add any members in my database. I must have missed a step and thus the chat is not working and displaying properly.

I managed to add users. You actually need to update the new conversation to add the users. The chat now works good.

However I have a displaying problem : the conversation list includes a users list (with the senders picture and the name of the conversation, i.e. the senders name).  
But it won’t load, it just keep loading. Please see below.

- I don’t know how to display the senders picture, it is just possible to add the logged in user’s picture.
