I wanted to use the amazon-plugin but had some problems with large lists of ASINS, because I always got a timeout in my browser while Serendipity was getting the information from amazon. So I decided to grow my asin list step by step, so the Amazon plugin should only ask for new entries.
But this didn't help. Then I found out that the hidden fields of the plugins always have a value of "" in the plugin configurator of serendipity (I looked at the html-source of my browser). This seems to me to be a bug.
I already checked the amazon-Plugin, but I am rather sure, that the problem is within the configurator.
Maybe somebody can check this and help out?

Re: Problem with hidden values in Plugin Setup
Hm...since the amazon plugin is not distributed within serendipity, did you already try to ask/mail the original creator of the plugin? I don't use it, so maybe he can help...
I don't yet know how the hidden fields are used, but I will try to look into that next week! (If the author himself can't help earlier, that is...)#

Thank you for your reply, I will write an e-mail to the author, maybe he can help. Although I really have the feeling the the problem lies in serendipity.
The plugin uses the hidden values for caching the information it got from Amazon. And when I want to change the List of ASINs (Books), this information gets lost.
