Nellie, you do know that you can backup, restore and import single activities right? No need for an entire course.

@ Richard van Iwaarden thank you. I just copied and pasted the source code. I don't need the whole course, just certain activities. I got so used to the sharing cart over the years that all the extra steps seem a bit much.

@Dr. Nellie Deutsch, we are also without Sharing cart for the time being. But use backup and restore, which is the same, or use the import function. I know it takes more clicks but it is doable.

I am lost without the sharing cart in Moodle 5.1. My work is so much harder with having to copy and paste things from one course to another. I hope there will be an update to Moodle 5.1 very soon.

I would be very sad and set back in course development tremendously if the sharing cart does not work in the new version. Please, please, please, Moodle peeps, make it work!

I appreciate all the work that has gone to the plugin over the years. Is 5.1 in the making? Sadly, I had to uninstall the Moodle 5.0 version because it caused a mess with the tasks.

I can confirm that saving subsections does not work for me (on Moodle 4.5)

Hello,
In this version (5.0, release 6 2025092900), there is now an option to save a subsection, but saving does not work (this was not present in version 4.4, release 5 2024072900). Have other users noticed the same thing?

Eric and Blair, thank you for your reports. Please go to github and post an issue and Frederik will work on it from there. Thank you!

We upgraded sharing cart to Release 5 Version 6 today. I ran the upgrade in the browser and it timed out at first. I refreshed the page and reran the upgrade; it eventually finished but took over 10 minutes ("Success (613.82 seconds)").

I see that upgrade.php loops over all sharing cart items to add a version field to them. We only have 5,314 tuples in block_sharing_cart_items so the upgrade should finish much quicker. Is it possible to rewrite upgrade.php to do a bulk update with $DB->execute() instead of one query per tuple? Reading the code, that's the only operation that stands out as potentially expensive.

I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same thing I am, when trying to upgrade from 4.4, release 5 (2024072900) to 5.0, release 6 (2024072901) on Moodle 4.5.4 (Build: 20250414). When I first ran it, I got an "Upgrade time out, please restart the upgrade" message, so I did just that. Now, the installation stalls at the Upgrading to new version page and when I open up a new browser takes me to the Server checks page. Although I was able to get to the plugin page where it showed that we now have the new version installed. I'm kind of stuck here, not knowing what to do next.

Juan and everyone, I just posted Sharing Cart 5.0 release 5 which Frederik has tested successfully on Moodle 4.5 and 5.0 sites. Please tell us your experience and post issues on github for full attention. https://github.com/donhinkelman/moodle-block_sharing_cart

I'd like to add, the anonymizing of forums and such is not working and is deeply missed.
Best, Peter

We are enthusiastic users of your sharing cart and our lectorers love it. However, what we are currently sadly missing and what our lectorers find less user-friendly is the new exclusively asynchronous backup mode. Would it be possible to reintegrate this option in the plugin settings (immidiate or asynchronous)? We last had this with version 4.4, release 5.

Thank you and best regards
Christian
