[Tex/LaTex] How to add a photo to moderncv style banking

Question

I'm writing this post because I'm trying to let appear the photo on the moderncv using the banking style, but from default isn't possible.

So I would to know how to show the photo using the banking style and possibly putting the photo at the top of the first page above the name and title.

Answer 1

Add the following to your preamble:

\makeatletter
\@ifpackageloaded{moderncvstylebanking}{%
\let\oldmakecvtitle\makecvtitle
\renewcommand*{\makecvtitle}{%
  {\centering\framebox{\includegraphics[width=\@photowidth]{\@photo}}\par\vspace{10pt}}%
  \oldmakecvtitle%
}%
}{%
}
\makeatother

This checks whether you are using the banking style or not. If this is true, the photo is added at the top of the page, as you requested. If this is false, nothing changes, so you can use different styles even after have added this code to your document.

All you have to do is to use the command \makecvtitle as before. The photo is printed when you issue that command.

This is the result with the modified sample file templates.tex that accompanies the moderncv class after having set the style to banking:
