*Tested OK for Moodle 3.3* 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 2.9, 3.0.3, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 and earlier versions.

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
Costas

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

Hi Don, I get permission error. What permission do teachers or managers need to have?

@Don, I have tested the plugin with 3.3.1 and it works BUT I had to bump the version.php to a higher number manually, as it seems the one in the GitHub repository hasn't been changed in a while. I wonder whether that is why other people are having an issue. Could it be that the plugin doesn't have the 'Update available' status in their system due to this? Hence no matter how many changes are made to the repository, people who have it installed on their system cannot update it.
