Lily, this also sounds like a bug with flexible sections. Could you post an issue on github too? With details and screenshots? Sorry to ask you to do this, but actually we try to make this block compatible with standard formats and themes.

Sorry, Beat, Jeff and Clay. I think I updated and released the Sharing Cart 3.9 incorrectly. I need some help. Could someone look at the code that triggers an install notice for the Sharing Cart?

Hi Elias >> "If we restore a quiz in another course, all the question bank will be restored as well from the other course." Oh my gosh, you noticed this core bug too! 90% of the Sharing Cart is the core code for backup and restore. I and others reported this issue in 2007. It is now 14 years old! Yeah, I feel frustrated too. Could you politely ask HQ to fix this. You can vote for this issue here: MDL-12403 and here: MDL-41924. Some people say this is not a bug, just a feature request. But I am like you, Elias, it is a bug.

Hi Don,
So if we have 3.9 or 3.10 you advise us to use fresh code on Github?

Yes, Csaba, I recommend those with Moodle 3.9 or 3.10 sites to download the github code and install Sharing Cart from there. There are small fixes going in there occasionally, and I update this code on the plugin database every three months or so. My university has been using the Sharing Cart continuously through Moodle 3.10 and standard themes with no issues. I hope Praxis will have time to work on the issues listed in github, but so far those have not affected our operation.

Thanks!

This information is so wonderful, keep updating these types of interesting posts. Thank you for sharing this with us.

I have just released Sharing Cart 3.9, release 3 here on the Moodle plugins database. https://moodle.org/plugins/pluginversions.php?plugin=block_sharing_cart Thanks very much to Praxis software engineers, Ponlawat Weerapanpisit and other volunteers. This current version was earlier available on Github. I have also received reports that this version works on Moodle 3.10 as well. Please continue reporting issues and suggestions--github is the best place when you know you have an issue to share. https://github.com/donhinkelman/moodle-block_sharing_cart

Also note that recent versions of Sharing Cart require PHP 7.1.x. Sites using php 7.0.x will experiences issues like this: https://github.com/donhinkelman/moodle-block_sharing_cart/issues/88

Correction: according to Praxis, if you use PHP version 7.2 or older, you may experience issues when uploading and downloading activities with the Sharing Cart (not related to the Sharing Cart). For example, there are issues with badges in these older PHP versions. PHP version 7.3, 7.4 and later are recommended.

Hi Don, I upgraded Sharing Cart as I received that an update was available on my Moodle sites using various themes. At first, I thought it was the themes, but then, I tried it on BOOST and it showed an error whenever I turned editing on. This is what I get as a result with debugging turned on for developers. I hope it helps.

I was unable to edit the response above, so here's more. I'm on Moodle version 3.11.1.

I have a similar issue as Dr. Nellie Deutsch when trying to submit a file or save a file:

Moodle only outputs this generic message:
Exception syntax error, unexpected '\' (T_NS_SEPARATOR), expecting function (T_FUNCTION) or const (T_CONST)

I had to disable Sharing Cart to prevent it from not allowing students to add files (I couldn't even add it in assignments/quizzes as the admin). The plugin even reports two instances or the block being present in two courses; except the plugin is NOT present in those two courses. Other courses are unaffected by this.

I added a post about it here: https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=425090

Hello, in moodle3.10 we have a problem - when adding a module to sharing cart it inserts the same module twice. Do you familiar with this bug? Thanks!
