Yet another alternative curriculum vitae/résumé class with LaTeX

altacv's Issues

e-Mail Hyperlink seems not to work

When the e-Mail link in the sample pdf is clicked, I get the following e-Mail Address: '[email protected]Ó000-00-0000RAddress' (without quotes).

Any suggestions how to remedy this?

\newpage command does not work

The \newpage command does not work for the page1sidebar. If the text does not fit on the first page it is not transferred to the next one. Alternatively, tried to manually put it on the next page with the newpage command but it doesn't work. Any suggestions?

Cheers

adding a cvsection causes a repeat in the sidebar

Hi,

I am trying to add a "professional summary" section at the top of the first page. So, I simply added

\cvsection[page1sidebar]{Professional Summary}
Here is my professional summary.

right before the Experience section. As soon as I do that, I see a repeat of the top section of the sidebar at the bottom of the sidebar (see attached screenshot - the star is the only change I have made from the template using the above two lines of code). Could you please advice on what I am doing wrong, or if there is a work-around? Thank you!

PS: Even if I remove the "A Day Of My Life" section, the repeat appears.

href does not work

It seems href does not work even if I do like \href{http://www.google.com}{Google} - neither in the text nor in the cvevent title. Am perhaps I missing something ?

I am using the template provided on overleaf. Thank you again for making this package

The "basic" template on the README links to a password protected Overleaf page.

Multiple translations

Hi! Thanks for the repo! I really liked the CV template.

I would like to suggest support for multi language texts: I would like an ease way to translate my CV into other languages without having to create another file.

Please, check this link, where I have found a simple solution: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/60781/managing-multiple-translation-of-a-single-document.

I have added the following code to the altacv.cls file so I could select the language to which I want to compile the project.

\newif\ifen
\newif\ifpt

\newcommand{\en}[1]{\ifen#1\fi}
\newcommand{\pt}[1]{\ifpt#1\fi}

Then, I can select the language to use, depending on the line that is not commented, as follows:

%\entrue
\pttrue

I can then use on my text, for example:
\tagline{\en{Aeronautical Engineer} \pt{Engenheiro Aeronáutico}}

I tried to make something similar to what you already have, but I unfortunately coudn't.

So, I think it would be a really nice functionality to have.

Thank you!

Software/Design Projects command

I've updated my CV recently, and I was wondering if you'd be interested on adding something like these two new commands I've put together for my "Projects" section

\newcommand{\cvgithubproject}[3]{%
  {\large\color{emphasis}#1\par}
  \smallskip
  {\small\makebox[\linewidth][l]{\faGithub \hspace{0.5em}#2}\par
  \ifthenelse{\equal{#3}{}}{}{{\smallskip\small\makebox[\linewidth][l]{\faLaptop \hspace{0.5em}#3}}\par}}%
  \medskip
}

\newcommand{\cvcodepenproject}[2]{%
  {\large\color{emphasis}#1\par}
  \smallskip
  {\small\makebox[\linewidth][l]{\faCodepen \hspace{0.5em}#2}\par}
  \medskip
}

This is how they look like:

Thanks

Remove photo and expand the line of the personal info to the full width

Publication list empty

I've downloaded the repository and compiled it with Pdflatex, Lualatex and Xelatex.

Everything looks just fine except that the "Publications" section is empty. I can't make the references show up at all.

Any idea why that might be?

Special characters won't display properly

For example, as in the image, the German letter **_"ö"_** in "Göttingen" will be displayed as **_"Ãű"_**, resulting in **_"GÃűttingen"_**. How could I resolve this issue?

[Request] Add letter template

First of all thanks for the work that you have done, is amazing. I am here to ask if it's possible to add even a letter template that follows the same style. To have an idea or a reference, ModernCV could be a great one to start off.

Compile sample-CV with LuaLaTeX - Error with academicons

Hi!

When I compile the sample-CV with LuaLaTeX and change
\documentclass[10pt,a4paper,ragged2e]{altacv}
to
\documentclass[10pt,a4paper,academicons]{altacv}
I get the following error:
LaTeX error: "xparse/command-already-defined" Command '\AI' already defined! For immediate help type H <return>. \fi.

This error disappears when I modify the patch to make academicons compilable with XeLaTeX in altacv.cls

%% v1.1: Optionally load academicons
\if@academicons
  %% Patch to make academicons compilable with XeLaTeX
  \ExplSyntaxOn
  \msg_redirect_name:nnn { fontspec } { font-not-found } { none }
  \ExplSyntaxOff
  \RequirePackage{academicons}
  \newfontfamily{\AI}{academicons.ttf}
\fi

Font size of Company/University inconsistent

The font size of the second argument ("Company") in the first element of the "Experience" section is bigger than the other (red line in the image below).
All the other arguments are consistent (blue line in the image below).

This does not happen in the "Projects" section (that also uses \cvevent):

However, it happens in the "Education" section (in the sidebar):

Is this done on purpose?

Is there a way to disable this behaviour?

Font type changing in altacv.cls file

personalinfo spacing/alignment

I added \orcid{} and now in the front, I have e-mail address and orcid (in two lines), but they do not start at the same position, which looks off. See below:

Is it supposed to be like this or something I did?

More compact way for different position in one company?

Hi, love your work! CV based on yours landed me quite a few deals :)
Can you consider adding a way to "compactly" add few projects/position under one \cvevent section? So in the final version the location and company name is not repeated several times like "google" positions for Marisa Mayer?

Guidance on photo manipulation (i.e. cropping and panning)

The photo placement is very nicely done, but it's cumbersome to fit an actual image to the CV. Could we have guidance on how to adjust the pan, zoom, and crop parameters?

Display two Images at the top right hand corner

Hello,
I love your AltaCV template. Its clear and concise. I have managed to display an image at the top right corner. However, when I try to display two images, I run into errors. It won't compile.

Is it necessary for the two images to have the same extension?

Thanks a lot and much appreciated.
Cheers!

Double photo in the Header

Hi!

I was trying to put another photo in the header of the resumé but it only appears the corresponding "code", never the actual photo.

I found this resumé, that someone used and altered the AltaCV, and i was trying to do it just like that. By any chance, is this possible? What can i "alter" so that mine does the same?

Impossible to customize bibliography style

The bibliography style is hard-coded as authoryear in the class definition when biblatex is loaded, which makes it impossible to use a different bibliography style.
