*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.

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

@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.

Is it possible to configure sharing cart so that it can be used by more than one teacher? For example, two teachers teaching different sections of the same course?

If the sharing cart is installed and the "block" is on a page, it will work. Each teacher just needs teacher rights to each other's courses. That is what my teaching partner and I do. Sadly, though, we have been having issues for a couple years with quizzes not being able to be shared. Our tech people can't figure out why.

Thank you for the great plugin. Our teachers sure appreciate it.
Since we upgraded to 3.3 and using Boost, teachers are unable to add/edit activities or resources. Once we delete the sharing cart block, all is well again. I am wondering if this is a known problem as I am not able to find anything.
