News from Global MoodleMoot Barcelona: Praxis of Copenhagen is now a co-maintainer of the Sharing Cart. Thank you, Tue Korsgaard and the Praxis team for your collaboration. Also, thanks to Alex Bias and Kathrin Oswald of Ulm University for advice and support. 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 3.3-3.7, and 3.8. 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.

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!
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.

"A required parameter (sectionname) was missing"

Dear Don Hinkelman,

-installed, added the block to 2 courses
-went into course B and copied entire topic to the 'sharing cart', i see it there in the sharing cart
-goto course A, and in the sharing cart, next to the unit/topic i copied i click on 'copy to course', i see the [arrow] box pop up as to where to copy to, i click the arrow in the new topic i created, it does it, but then there is nothing there when done a few seconds later?
when i click on the unit in the sharing cart, i see all the items beloew, and i tied copying one of those items and it worked, it was in the new topic, but when i tried to just do the copy to course the entire topic , it didnt work
thanks for the assistance.
I like very much sharing cart. I would like to know if there is a way to copy to cart topics and then use their alias in other courses. I will explain: I have lots of topics that are used in several courses so i created all the topics of my courses under a category i called MASTER COURSES. These topics have resources and alias to files that i have in a repo i created. When i create a course template, i add from the sharing cart only the topics i need from this spesific course. The problem is that when i go to the MASTER COURSE to change description, add or remove resources ecc. it has no refresh or update button that updates all the copied topics in the course templates. Is there a way to copy the alias of a topic into sharing cart or to use in several courses? or a button that updates all copied instances of a topic or a resource? Thanks for your help
