如何在 Mailboxer 中显示发件人和收件人头像？

Question

New to ruby/rails, and just implemented mailboxer messaging for my users. I want the users profile avatar to display during messaging, but can't seem to figure it out. Avatars display fine on the actual user profiles.

I have the avatar displaying, but at the moment it just shows the originators avatar next to all messages of both users in the conversation.

I understand that the avatar is only displaying the original senders avatar next to both users replies, because I'm using conversation.originator . At the moment, it's the only way I can even get the avatar to appear, so that is my starting point.

How do I get both sender, and receivers avatars to display next to their own replies/messages?

Again, I'm new to Ruby, so this may be the simplest thing, and apologies if this is a duplicate, but I can't seem to find an answer.

Answer 1

The problem was showing the conversation originator's image in the messages partial by using this method conversation.originator.profile.avatar.url .

So the fix is to use the association between messages, user and profile to get the image of the sender.

message.sender.profile.avatar.url
