Sharing Cart Plugin in Moodle
by Janelle Cleaves 1 month, 2 weeks agoHey everyone,
I've just recently heard about the Sharing Cart plugin. I've found some YouTube videos demonstrating this, but they leave several questions. Does anyone else use this? Are you able to share quiz questions between teachers with this (in a way that lets the instructors edit them)? What kinds of admin settings are there?
Best,
Janelle
Hello Janelle,
I have refrained from turning this on in our production site, because when testing it on the sandbox site it generates a copy of the content in a teacher's user files and I have not found a way to efficiently periodically purge these. Seemed like something that could drive up our Moodle storage very easily. If you find a way to deal with the extra file copies it makes I would love to add the tool though, so if you learn something helpful let me know!

Heya,
That is very good information. I may look into getting it on our sandbox to test. Can I ask how long ago it was that you tested it? I did see somethign on the plugin page about them retooling it for an upcoming release.
It's been a little while, about the start of this year.
Gotcha. I looked back at the page again, and they said they will be a "complete rework" after some glitches in their current release. Hopefully what you experienced was part of the issue and will be fixed in late 2024? I may hold off on testing till then.
Hi, there.
We enabled it for a while. We had some problems with it, and it does take up storage, so we disabled it.
