[Tex/LaTex] moderncv banking style: add a extra line above the address information

Question

I would like to add a extra information, but before the address information line, and after my name, of course.

How can I do that?

Answer 1

The following minimal example patches \maketitle to insert a macro that contains "extra information" in the title for the moderncv banking style. The command used to adjust this "extra information" is \someextrainfo{<stuff>}. You can also adjust the font, if needed, using \someextrainfofont{<font>}. Note that you may have to reset any such font changes using \addressfont{<font>}, as fonts are set using switches.

\documentclass{moderncv}
\moderncvstyle{banking}
\moderncvcolor{blue}

\usepackage{etoolbox}
\makeatletter
\patchcmd{\maketitle}% <cmd>
  {\addressfont\color{color2}}% <search>
  {\@someextrainfofont\color{color2}%
   \ifcsdef{@someextrainfo}{\@someextrainfo\\}{}%
   \addressfont}% <replace>
  {}{}% <success><failure>
\providecommand{\@someextrainfofont}{}
\newcommand{\someextrainfo}[1]{\gdef\@someextrainfo{#1}}
\newcommand{\someextrainfofont}[1]{\gdef\@someextrainfofont{#1}}
\makeatother
