Includes new 'Section Copy' feature and Postgres compatibility (co-funded by Ulm University, Germany and Sapporo Gakuin University, Japan).

News from Global MoodleMoot Barcelona: Praxis of Copenhagen will become co-maintainers of the Sharing Cart. Thank you Tue Korsgaard for your collaboration. Also, thanks to Alex Bias and Kathrin Oswald for their advice and support. *Tested OK for Moodle 3.7* 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, 3.6 and 3.7. 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!
We actually encounter an issue with it , but it's theme related, so probably not the plugin fault.
i have a big scorm activity in a course. i duplicated(physicaly) it in other courses. now my backup sapce/moodle storage is expanded ! does this plugin allow me to share my scorm activity and reduce the moodle storage ?
Will we have any updates to version 3.7?
When I tried to use version 3.7 it had some issues, one of them was that I couldn't click the Enable Editing button.
He is sorely missed = (
I can't use the extension in the snap theme
just to understand the use of this Plugin: is it possible to share the activities with collegues? Or is it just to move an activities von from course to another?
Regards, Birgit
If the teacher has a role with an editing permission in your course course, he can copy the activity to his/her course, so in a way that's sharing the activity with other colleagues. The problem is of course that you have to share the entire course with them, and that's too much for some people.
I'm not aware of a way to share a specific activity with everyone, besides a creating a new course that is dedicated entirely for sharing with colleagues. But I wouldn't be surprised if there's a plugin that does what you want it. If you'll find one, please share.
Just updated to moodle 3.8 and sharing cart is not working. More exactly, every time we turn edition on, all edition button freezes. Then, if we purge all caches and return to course, that's ok. But if in sequence we turn edition off and on again, the freezing problem returns.
Hope you can fix this fantastic plugin!
Best Regards,
Osvaldo
Thanks for this great plugin. We installed the master-version on our Moodle 3.5 installation and recognized some graphical issues: The shopping basked icon appears for course sections, but not for activities. Is there some incompability reguarding the versions (is there a Plugin Version for Moodle 3.5 available)?
Another question concerns the capabilities used for this plugin: We'd appriciate the possibility to give users the capabilities to copy content of a foreign course into sharing cart and use it in their own courses (after the Trainer inserted the shring cart block in course). Therefore, the user needs the following capabilities - as far as we found out: moodle/backup:backupactivity, moodle/backup:configure and moodle/course:update. Could you provide some more information, where exactly and why these capabilities are used?
We hope, you can help us with this concern?
Best regards!
Please note the following issue in the plugin repository:

It doesn't answer your question directly, but you can find there info about more capabilities that are required for copying content with the plugin.
