I'm trying to understand the source code in LaTeX of the european CV (here can be downloaded: https://www.latextemplates.com/template/moderncv-cv-and-cover-letter) with class moderncv
because I need to adapt it to my needs.
What I want to do is to move the text (Curriculum Vitae) above and the details infos to the left (but leaving the picture where it is) like the following:
the problem is that I cannot understand where those changes should be implemented. After a long search I found out, that the following code is responsible for creating what you see on the screenshot. (I found it the file: moderncvstyleclassic.sty
)
% optional maketitle width to force a certain width (if set to 0pt, the width is calculated automatically)
\newlength{\makecvtitlenamewidth}
\setlength{\makecvtitlenamewidth}{0pt}% dummy value
\renewcommand*{\makecvtitle}{%
% recompute lengths (in case we are switching from letter to resume, or vice versa)
\recomputecvlengths%
% optional detailed information box
\newbox{\makecvtitledetailsbox}%
\savebox{\makecvtitledetailsbox}{%
\addressfont\color{color1}%
\begin{tabular}[b]{@{}r@{}}%
\ifthenelse{\isundefined{\@addressstreet}}{}{\makenewline\addresssymbol\@addressstreet%
\ifthenelse{\equal{\@addresscity}{}}{}{\makenewline\@addresscity}}% if \addresstreet is defined, \addresscity will always be defined but could be empty
\ifthenelse{\isundefined{\@mobile}}{}{\makenewline\mobilesymbol\@mobile}%
\ifthenelse{\isundefined{\@email}}{}{\makenewline\emailsymbol\emaillink{\@email}}%
\ifthenelse{\isundefined{\@dateofbirth}}{}{\makenewline\@dateofbirth}%
\ifthenelse{\isundefined{\@placeofbirth}}{}{\makenewline\@placeofbirth}%
\ifthenelse{\isundefined{\@extrainfo}}{}{\makenewline\@extrainfo}%
\end{tabular}
}%
% optional photo (pre-rendering)
\newbox{\makecvtitlepicturebox}%
\savebox{\makecvtitlepicturebox}{%
\ifthenelse{\isundefined{\@photo}}%
{}%
{%
\hspace*{\separatorcolumnwidth}%
\color{color1}%
\setlength{\fboxrule}{\@photoframewidth}%
\ifdim\@photoframewidth=0pt%
\setlength{\fboxsep}{0pt}\fi%
\framebox{\includegraphics[width=\@photowidth]{\@photo}}}}%
% name and title
\newlength{\makecvtitledetailswidth}\settowidth{\makecvtitledetailswidth}{\usebox{\makecvtitledetailsbox}}%
\newlength{\makecvtitlepicturewidth}\settowidth{\makecvtitlepicturewidth}{\usebox{\makecvtitlepicturebox}}%
\ifthenelse{\lengthtest{\makecvtitlenamewidth=0pt}}% check for dummy value (equivalent to \ifdim\makecvtitlenamewidth=0pt)
{\setlength{\makecvtitlenamewidth}{\textwidth-\makecvtitledetailswidth-\makecvtitlepicturewidth}}%
{}%
\begin{minipage}[b]{\makecvtitlenamewidth}%
\namestyle{\@firstname\ \@familyname}%
\ifthenelse{\equal{\@title}{}}{}{\\[1.25em]\titlestyle{\@title}}%
\par
\end{minipage}%
\hfill%
% detailed information
\llap{\usebox{\makecvtitledetailsbox}}% \llap is used to suppress the width of the box, allowing overlap if the value of makecvtitlenamewidth is forced
% optional photo (rendering)
\usebox{\makecvtitlepicturebox}\\[0.5em]%
% optional quote
\ifthenelse{\isundefined{\@quote}}%
{}%
{{\centering\begin{minipage}{\quotewidth}\centering\quotestyle{\@quote}\end{minipage}\\[2.5em]}}%
\par}% to avoid weird spacing bug at the first section if no blank line is left after \makecvtitle
How should I change that code to achieve what I want to do?
Best Answer
Be careful, that template uses an olddated version 1.2.0 of class
moderncv
. The current one is 2.0.0!In your case the trick is to move the call of
\makecvtitledetailsbox
into the creation of theminipage
:In the following MWE you need the commands
\makeatletter
and\makeatother
for the usage of@
in the code.With the following complete MWE
you get the result:
