**Sharing Cart 4.4, release 3 is from 5 February 2024. Requires Moodle 4.2 and PHP 8.0** Download here or go to github: https://github.com/donhinkelman/moodle-block_sharing_cart/. Sorry for any confusion: Sharing 4.2 and Sharing Cart 4.3 were skipped here on the Plugins Database. And Sharing 4.4 was an overly ambitious name--it is actually for Moodle 4.3, and requires PHP 8.0.
The Sharing Cart is a block that enables sharing of Moodle content (resources, activities) between multiple courses on your site.

Current versions available: 6
New version 4.5 is due soon (end of May 2024) which is a complete rework of the plugin. Sorry, but any bugs associated with current release will not be processed. We encourage you the retest the issue after the release of the new version and resubmit the issue.
Sharing cart allows the teacher to copy sections and individual activities into a clipboard (the 'sharing cart'), so the teacher can easily move activities from one course to another without having to go into the "Reuse course" function. Another common use case for the sharing is to created shared teachers course which a teacher can easily copy her best activities into and and other teaches can reuse those in his own courses. 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 currently maintained by the premium Moodle partner moxis. If you have any specific feature request. feel free to reach out on support@moxis.dk. Don Hinkelman from the Moodle Association of Japan is handling bug discussion, testing and user assistance in either in this forum or the github bug tracker. Please bear in mind this a community-driven plugin with limited resources.
Sharing Cart 3.0 was submitted to Remote Learner for independent vetting and passed May 2016. In versions 3.x, new interface programmed by moxis was added, in addition to 'Section Copy' feature and Postgres compatibility (co-funded by Ulm University, Germany and Sapporo Gakuin University, Japan). Thanks also to Ponlawat Weerapanpisit and other contributors for programming assistance.

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?

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!

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:
https://github.com/donhinkelman/moodle-block_sharing_cart/issues/27
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.
When i try to copi a single antivity it works very well, but when i try to copy a setion a error text box appears saying:
"A required parameter (sectionname) was missing"
