Sharing Cart

Blocks ::: block_sharing_cart
Maintained by Don Hinkelman, Tue Korsgaard
**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.
Latest release:
5125 sites
1k downloads
190 fans
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.

    hi there
    if you update the parent object, will all the "carted off" versions update automatically?

    Hello,
    Has anyone tried this on Moodle 3.2? The icon "copy to sharing cart" in editing mode just doesn't appear (properly installed and enabled block on course page). Also, adding this block disables drag&drop for activities in the same page. It seems like a great plugin and I hope there's a solution. Any ideas ?
    Thanks,
    Roman

    Hi Roman, here's my experience:
    It works on 3.2+ but as you already stated it breaks Drag and Drop and even worse the 'add an activity or resource' button.
    On this stage I would recommend NOT to install this at least with a running Boost theme!
    But I also agree that it's a great plugin with a lot of useful functionality so hopefully it will be fixed soon.
    Best regards,
    Stefan

    This Don Hinkelman, maintainer (but not programmer) of the Sharing Cart. To Shapiro, no, when you update a parent object, it does not update anything in the Sharing Cart, which works like a simple Backup/Restore. You should delete the Sharing Cart version and re-copy the new version into the Sharing Cart. To Roman and Stefen, thanks very much for testing the SC on Moodle version 3.2. You are the first. At the latest, our university will update the SC when we update our Moodle to 3.2 in February 2017. Hopefully, I can get it hurried up. Please send detailed information including screenshots to me directly, hinkel @ sgu.ac.jp. Thanks very much!

    Hi,
    Can someone please confirm (or deny) if the latest version (3.0 release 1 - 2016032900) is compatible with Moodle 3.1? If not, do you know when 3.1 will be supported?
    Many thanks

    Dear Sharing Cart Users,
    I just heard from our programming team that the Sharing Cart issues have been fixed and tested OK on Moodle 3.1 and Moodle 3.2. Tested on More and Clean themes for 3.1 and Boost, More, Clean for 3.2. Please tell us if it works well for you. Download here for now (and soon from Moodle.org): https://github.com/VERSION2-Inc/moodle-block_sharing_cart/
    Thank you for your patience. Don

    I'm using the recently released child theme for Boost called Fordson theme, when i add the sharing cart block to the course page it breaks all the links to add activities and does not render the block correctly. Any assistance is very much appreciated.

    We are also using the Fordson Theme, nothing appears in the block (no on/off switch) and no icons appear next to activities in the course. Moodle 3.2, PostgreSQL 9.6.1 and PHP 7.0.15
