Pusher integration

[syntaxlexx]

Hello, thanks for reaching out.

Now, after persisting the data in the database, are you dispatching/broadcasting an event to Pusher itself? What do you see in Pusher's dashboard? Any activity?

Hello again,

I see how differents users connects to pusher but nothing happens when I send a message between users. Perphaps, there is a problem with the listener? I don't know how to the bugg it.

Thank you for help

I was able to connect different users to the channels created in the pusher dasboard but when I submit the message I don't receive any live alert or nothing. (Data is sent and stored in the DB)

I see the following message in the console.log when I connect one user to the channel. Could it be the reason?

Pusher.ScriptReceivers[1](null, { host: 'timeline33-clientstats1.pusher.com' });

Hi there!

Finally, I found the problem. There was a mismatch between the server time and pusher. Which is already solved and now the app works as intented.

Thank you for you help!

... Just a follow-up, package now support laravel 6. The docs/examples hav been updated, and Pusher is now used slightly different than before. It is more alligned to how laravel likes it.

Cheers!
