*Tested OK for Moodle 3.6* The Sharing Cart is a block for duplicating course items into a personal library and an easy way to move those Moodle resources and activities between multiple courses on your site. With just three clicks, the Sharing Cart copies and moves a single course item from one course to another. It copies without user data--similar to the "Import” function in Course Administration. From version 2.3, user content in Forums, Wikis, Glossaries and Databases can optionally be included. In addition, items can be collected and saved on the Sharing Cart indefinitely, serving as a library of frequently used course items available for duplication. The Sharing Cart is viewable only by teachers, course creators and administrators. Tested on Moodle 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, and 3.6. If you have an earlier version of Moodle, please download an earlier version of Sharing Cart that matches your site from this moodle.org plugins database. Note, the github host has been moved to donhinkelman. We appreciate if you can report your requests and issues there.

Thanks a lot for the important ShartingCart-Plugin.
Untill now I used this function just by myself. What if I like to share some of my activities to my TeacherTeamMembers? How can I do this as easy as just for myself?
Thanks for your fast answer!
Right now i only added one Teacher to each course. If I like to keep it like this, would it work if we set up a master-course (with no students) where we add all relevant activities. To this Master-Course we enrole all the teachers. They can surf to this extra course and copy the activites to their Sharingcart.
Can you offer a more effiecient ways to go?
Great plugin. Congratulations!
Waiting for the 3.5 update, announced for September. What is the new prevision, please?
Error code: generalexceptionmessage Exception - syntax error, unexpected 's' (T_STRING). It will not install on Moodle version 3.6.2. I need to use this terrific block so I hope you can help me get it installed. Thanks, Clarence

I removed the junk in line 145 and 188. The href had "'%20.%20s($url)%20.%20'".
I changed the href to "$url"

I really like this plugin. Thank you so much!
I mainly use it to copy entire course sections. In doing so, what I am observing is that the shopping cart is not always preserving the order of items in the source section: If I create the content in the source section not sequentially, copying the section to the sharing cart will place the items in a seemingly random order. Is there anything I can do about this (except reordering the items in the cart) or is this a bug?

Issue:
We have the Sharing cart enabled in all courses, and we have created a custom role that allows all our faculty to view ALL courses.
However, how do I enable our faculty to use the sharing cart without enrolling them as teachers in each course? I can not give them the teacher-role globally, as I don't want them to be able to edit and delete content in other peoples courses.
Any inputs would be most appreciated!
best regards
Simon
