The following post on TeX.SE identifies a spurious space in the construction of the header under the classic style:

moderncv, classic style: how to shift address box to the right?

Adding the appropriate line-ending % would remove this spurious space.

I'm using the version "version 2.0.0 (28 Jul 2015)"

In the last version of the pdf avialable (moderncv_userguide.v2.pdf), in the Additional Commands section there is a reference to the command \weblink but it doesn't work.

There is also a reference to the command \httplink. This command works as expected.

I think this is only a documentation bug.

There is too much space between the bibliography heading and first entry, as well as after the last entry.

This issue seems to be known, as it says BUG/TODO: remove extra space between heading and first bibliography entry, as well as after last one in moderncvbodyv.sty

I have no clue how to find where this space comes from, maybe someone has a hint?

In the banking template, if I have a long description in a cventry (4th argument), then the description flows into the second column (containing City and year). It would be nice if the text wraps it happens.

Hi,

\setlength{\makecvtitlenamewidth}{10cm}

as used in your "template.tex" example will not compile (if uncommented), supposedly because this length seems to be called makecvheadnamewidth now.

Using \cvitem (or one of its derivatives like \cventry) with an itemize list like

\cvitem{foo}{\begin{itemize}%
  \item bar%
\end{itemize}}

in fancy style, results in a too big vertical space after the entry.

This can be seen in the example template_fancy_purple.pdf too (the space between the first two jobs is a lot bigger than between the first two degrees).

With respect to the CV heading: I wonder whether it would be possible to allow for the author's given name and family name to be prefixed by a title. Example: Dr. John Doe. In this example, Dr. and Doe would have the same color. And as the dot/fullstop "." after "Dr." does not indicate an end of the sentence, the blank should be a normal blank.

Many thanks for considering! And I am sorry if suggesting this here is the wrong venue! Great that you maintain this package!

when i use xelatex complies templatex-zh.tex， i find it was ok to use classic and oldstyle but failed when I used banking and casual style. The error was reported as below.

/usr/local/texlive/2015/texmf-dist/tex/latex/fontawesome/fontawesome.sty:27: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [\newfontfamily{\FA}{FontAwesome}]

Is there any bugs? May be something wrong with fontawesome?

I don't know if i must talk about that issue here or to the fedora package's owner of texlive-moderncv but when I try to use \moderncvtheme{fancy} i got that error "File `moderncvstylefancy.sty' not found."

I have a weird printing problem with the moderncv casual style:

I want to use color1 for the heading of "firstname lastname", like the following:

{\color{color1!50}\@firstname} {\color{color1}\@lastname}

this works fine on display, but when printing from Linux the colors are in grayscale. When printed from Mac OS X (same printer) the colors are as expected. To make it more interesting: when renewing the

\renewcommand*{\namefont}{\fontsize{38}{40}\mdseries\upshape}

to \fontsize{20}{22} (or smaller) the text is printed in color. Using a new tex file (report class) using various font sizes printing on Linux worked fine.

Any ideas, where I can look to solve this?

I opened simple cv (copied from https://www.overleaf.com/7365392wdxwpscvfmrf) in TeXstudio. When I am trying to compile I get

line 139: pdfTeX error (font expansion): auto expansion is only possible with scalable fonts.
line 91: Font shape `T1/lmss/m/sc' in size <10.95> not available(Font) Font shape `T1/lmr/m/sc' tried instead

How I can fix it?

Would it make sense to allow \@recipientname and/or \@recipientaddress to be undefined and print nothing without raising an error?

Looking at moderncvheadstylei.sty, it looks like it could be as simple as:

  % recipient block
  \begin{minipage}[t]{.5\textwidth}
    \raggedright%
    \addressfont%
    \ifthenelse{\isundefined{\@recipientname}}{}{{\bfseries\upshape\@recipientname}\\}%
    \ifthenelse{\isundefined{\@recipientaddress}}{}{\@recipientaddress}%
  \end{minipage}

And so on for the other head styles.

I don't know what's going wrong, but I am not able to get Xing, GitLab and Skype references working. Has anybody an idea how to fix it?

Bullets are set too low. This can be observed even in the sample documents, e.g. the bulleted achievements here.

I remember figuring this out years ago, but I don't remember the solution. I seem to recall something about the engine mattering (LuaLaTeX/pdfLatex).

Hi,

Not really an issue, but I was wondering if it would be possible to create a custom \social item where the user can provide his own logo for a social media. I'm guessing it would be possible to tweak the source files to create one, but I'm not big on using TeX like that...

The reason I'm asking that is that I would like to give my ORCID ID with their nice little logo.

If creating a custom command is too much work for the use, I would love it if you could guide me through the steps of doing it myself!

Best,
Arthur

Hello,

First, thank you for your awesome package !

The bibliography is at the section level when using both packages instead of the subsection level.

You can modify the template-multibib.tex as follows to reproduce the issue and to see my 'dirty' workaround. I cannot attach a tex file to the issue.

\usepackage[numbers]{natbib} %%FIXME use the section level instead of subsection !

%% Uncomment this dirty workaround to 'fix' the issue

Hello,

Firstly, I would like to thank you for your hard work on this great modencv template. I really use it everyday for my resumé, please do continue :)

I have a simple question for you. How can I change green color.

I have tried to modify \definecolor{sectionrectanglecolor}{rgb}{0,0.79,0.136} without success :(

I need following color :
CMYK 80 / 0 / 60 / 0
RGB 1 / 169 / 130
HEX #01a982
PMS 339

I don't understand how to configure rgb colors to 1 / 169 / 130 colors ? What is the calculation method to have a 0.x value?

Thanks for help

\homepage{https://foo}
generates link to https//foo

\extrainfo{\url{https://foo}}
works but then I miss the mouse logo

\homepage{\url{https://foo}} results into stack overflow

When I only provide the address, the phone and the mail message, the cv title show a ugly spacing line between the address and the phone/mail line.

Is there any solution? I using the banking theme

It seems the version 2012/10/31 v1.2.0 have no the problem

The problem seems happen to the version: 2015/07/28 v2.0.0

See here:

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/265938/moderncv-and-babel-greek-cause-missing-endcsname-error

Solution:

Replace \roman{<counter>} with \romannumeral\c@<counter>.

When bibtex bibliographies are included from https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/ the articles macros
are not recognized even if the aas_macros.sty package (http://doc.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs_doc/aas_macros.sty) is included. This method works with other classes such as article and report.

\usepackage{aas_macros}

\nocite{*}                                                                     
\bibliographystyle{plainyr}                                                    
\bibliography{ads}                                  

! Undefined control sequence.
\ref@jnl #1->{\jnl@style 
                         #1}
l.18 \newblock {\em \mnras
                          }, 370:529--558, August 2006.

All the examples have short names, emails, urls, etc., and many formats don't work with long-ish names.

For example, a name such as Johnathan W. Doughmaker doesn't look good in many of the formats (esp. banking, classic), especially if you use the optional title after. Any way to have the font size dynamically scaled to fit?

The same thing happens if a URL is long-ish (the wrapping looks bad). It would be better if a template supported names with more length.

moderncv loads styles with the help of \romanumeral. While \romannumeral 1 outputs an i and so the file is found, the catcode of the i is different, and so one get tons of warnings regarding the package names:

LaTeX Warning: You have requested package `moderncvheadi',
               but the package provides `moderncvheadi'.

Suggested fix (if you want to use letters instead of normal numbers in the file names):

1. Remove all the \expandafters in the definition

\newcommand*{\moderncvhead}[2][]{
  \expandafter\RequirePackage\expandafter[\expandafter#1\expandafter]{\expandafter moderncvhead\romannumeral #2}}

There are unnecessary (and wrong as \expandafter goes behind the next token, so you are actually expanding the "o" in moderncvhead). \RequirePackage[#1]{moderncvhead\romannumeral #2}} should work fine.

1. Add \romannumeral to the package declarations

\ProvidesPackage{moderncvhead\romannumeral 1}[2015/07/28 v2.0.0 modern curriculum vitae and letter header variant: 1]

Hi!

I just reinstalled my whole system yesterday (Debian 9 Stretch) and found a regression when compiling my resume. The bug was introduced in moderncv between these two version:

• moderncv 2015/07/28 v2.0.0: \newline not working (also, the text is not bold anymore)
• moderncv 2013/04/29 v1.5.1: ok, \newline create a line break as expected

Minimal example:

\documentclass[11pt, a4paper]{moderncv}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

\moderncvstyle{classic}
\moderncvcolor{blue}

\firstname{first}
\familyname{last}

\begin{document}

\cvitemwithcomment{2016-2017}{ Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. \newline Donec efficitur rutrum nisl, quis sodales mi mattis eget.}{}

\end{document}

Some more info (not sure if usefull ...)

Hi,

When I use classic style, the generated pdf doesn't match with the given example. The reason is that marvosym is used in moderncvstyleclassic.sty, not awesome. This leads a tricky result after I compiled template.

Can you please update the UserGuide. The one are here on Github are outdated and for new users - like me, an new UserGuide would be much helpful. thanks

Dear Mr. Danaux,

Allow me to start by thanking you for your work on the beautiful moderncv class, I have been using it ever since I wrote my first CV when I was starting college in 2010, not to mention numerous number of people I recommended your project to. Thank you very much for all your efforts.

I have searched for a solution to my problem in the internet and especially stackexchange and could not find a solution unfortunately. My problem started after the update to version 2.0.0 I guess.

I used to use the code provided in http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/224888 to get double column references but now even with the complete example provided there which I was able to run I get the error:

! Undefined control sequence.
\listitemmaincolumnwidth

which is set in the recomputecvlengths command. Can you help me figure out this problem?
Thank you very much.

template.tex under the casual style currently shows the following footer:

The fontawesome icons in the footer are obviously wrong.

I can't add two /extrainfo{} in the preamble. Is it normal? Or is there a way to do it that I don't know about?

Left justifying dates improves readability. It allows the eye to come back to a strong line and top down scanning.

I would love to see an option or default! Let me know what you think.

Hi,

since the update of moderncv to 2.0, I get orphans (i.e. orphaned paragraphs at the end of one page) in my CV that worked fine with 1.x.

At the end first page, there is some code saying:

\section{\bfseries Experience}
\subsection{Working}

This was previously placed on the next page, now its on the first page, but all the \cventries that follow in this subsection are on the next page.

This seems to be a bug. Is there a temporary workaround?

Currently the repo size is about 67 MB which is quite heavy for such a small number of revisions. The reason is that PDF files for manual and examples cannot be effectively delta-compressed, so the size increases linearly.

Maybe you should consider removing PDF files from the repo and just write a separate build script which will prepare everything for CTAN submission.

I'll just let TeX.Stackexchange speak her: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/260446

It would be nice to be able to include an ORCID ID, and perhaps things like arXiv and PhilPapers. There are icons in https://github.com/jpswalsh/academicons and there is a package on CTAN: https://ctan.org/pkg/academicons

If I can get it working would you accept a pull request?

I'm using moderncv v2.0.0, and when I compile with concmath font is fine, without errors, but when I change to ccfonts, it shows some error messages like this:

! Illegal parameter number in definition of \phonesdetails.

You meant to type ## instead of #, right?
Or maybe a } was forgotten somewhere earlier, and things

I guess that it is a problem with the font, but the error message is not clear

I see that the project has a number of pull requests and the last commit is over one year ago. Is this project dead? It would be nice to have people integrate the enhancements that they have created back and have the one-moderncv-to-rule-them-all...

Some CVs have more than one page of references. When I try this, it just cuts off the bibliography at one page (crashing into the margin). It seems the style doesn't support long (multi-page) bibliographies?

Is there a way to turn off pagebreak around \cventry so that the entry is broken across multiple pages?

Thanks!

In moderncvfooti.sty, the footer size is progressively checked against \footwidth. If it exceeds this length, a line break \\ is inserted. This check should be performed using \ifdim, not \ifnum:

\newcommand*{\addtofoot}[2][\footsymbol]{%
  \if@firstfootelement%

How would it be possible to include a photo when using the banking style?

I have the font size set to 12pt in the document class options but the cventry description font size is 10pt. I would like to scale text sizes up so that cventry description font size is 12pt.

\documentclass[12pt, a4paper, nocolor, final]{moderncv} is my header.

I describe in my CV my vocational experience with month and years, is this possible with moderncv?

I am writing an Arch Linux AUR PKGBUILD to use your git repository. However, I noticed that you do not include tags in your releases.

May you add a tag to commit f50d1cf?

git tag -a 2.0.0 f50d1cff -m "Release 2.0.0"
git push origin 2.0.0

While \IfFileExists can be helpful to avoid error messages due to non-existent files (think self-made auxiliary files), it can have serious drawbacks when used for package loading. As currently used, packages will be skipped over if they are not found. This means that two documents with the same code can have significantly different output on different installations. Granted, there is always a chance that things look slightly different if compiled with different package installations, but since the class currently does \IfFileExists with font packages, the impact can be huge.

Since there are no error messages or warnings, the files will just silently look different and confuse people. Case in point: https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/446425/35864

So I suggest to drop the \IfFileExists test when loading font packages. If you want the font, load it directly, be upfront about it. If you want your users to be able to use the files even without the default font packages, an option to disable font loading seems more sensible, since it lets people actively decide to opt in or out.

I keep the following option commented but I still have no page number at all. My resume is longer than one page and use the classic style.

%\nopagenumbers{} % uncomment to suppress automatic page numbering for CVs longer than one page
