I had exactly the same problem. I think you may understand this problem better if you go into the MySQL tables and just browse the tables. As in most systems, the records are in the database twice: 1) as a MARC record and 2) a second time in various relational tables, where the authors, titles, subjects, etc. are. The information that comes out with the <!-- TMPL_VAR NAME="author" --> comes from the second areas, NOT from the MARC records. For some reason, only a single additional author is put into additionalauthors table, and this is where the information you get comes from. Because of this, I have opted for the main record to display in the ISBD version, where I have complete control over the view of the record. So, I have substantially reworked the ISBD display to do what I think it needs to do. As an example, see: http://www.galileo.aur.it/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?bib=20791 If you want my ISBD display to work with on your own, I would be happy to send it.

Hi there!
SIPRI library in Stockholm, Sweden is aiming to become a Koha library shortly. Our IT-staff helped us to download and install the system (version 2.2.9 on Linux) and we in the library have been making the necessary changes and adjustments in templates and parameters to shape the catalogue to our satisfaction. Although we are learning as we go along, our knowledge of Perl and programming is fairly limited, which is why we would appreciate any help more experienced Koha users might be able to offer us. Our main problem at the moment concerns "additional authors":
For some reason no matter how many additional authors we enter in repeated 700 fields (we use Marc21), only the last one is visible in the OPAC and we have had no success in trying to fix this. Suggestions?
Sincerely, Magdalena Söderqvist librarian
