[Tex/LaTex] moderncv linkedin symbol and greek language

babelenglishgreekmoderncv

I am using babel in moderncv in order to switch between greek and english language with default language greek but i had an issue with social infos (such as email,webpage)i could not add them in english..

For example i was adding in the code :

\homepage{www.example.gr}

and i was getting in pdf :

so a user suggested me to add these lines in code (and that fixed the issue)

\xapptocmd\emailsymbol{\selectlanguage{english}}{}{}
\xapptocmd\homepagesymbol{\selectlanguage{english}}{}{}

but now i have the same issue with linked symbol, I add this code :

\social[linkedin]{gr.linkedin.com/in/test}

and i get this :

I am posting here the first lines of my code :

Just add the following line to your code (best after the \xapptocmd lines you already have):

\xapptocmd\linkedinsocialsymbol{\selectlanguage{english}}{}{}

Then your linkedin address will be in english.

Just for the case you add other things, that are the other defined symbols that can occur (copied from moderncv.cls):

\newcommand*{\addresssymbol}       {}
\newcommand*{\mobilephonesymbol}   {}
\newcommand*{\fixedphonesymbol}    {}
\newcommand*{\faxphonesymbol}      {}
\newcommand*{\emailsymbol}         {}
\newcommand*{\homepagesymbol}      {}
\newcommand*{\linkedinsocialsymbol}{}
\newcommand*{\twittersocialsymbol} {}
\newcommand*{\githubsocialsymbol}  {}

After the command \newcommand* you find the several names.

The spanish option is not passed to the class, to begin with.

I don't think you really need to have class options for this, however. Here is zunbeltz.cls:

\NeedsTeXFormat{LaTeX2e}[1999/12/01]
\ProvidesPackage{zunbeltz}[2012/10/22 v0.1]

\providecommand*{\conclusionsname}{Final conclusions}

\AtBeginDocument{
  \@ifpackagewith{babel}{spanish}{%

  }{}
  \@ifpackagewith{babel}{english}{%
    \addto\captionsenglish{\renewcommand*\conclusionsname{Final conclusions}}%
  }{}
}


\DeclareOption*{\PassOptionsToClass{\CurrentOption}{report}}
\ProcessOptions\relax

\LoadClass{report}

and here the test document zunbeltz.tex:

\documentclass{zunbeltz}

[Tex/LaTex] Add photo to moderncv style banking with modifications

Suppose you used the following solution to add the logo (taken from the answer of @karlkoeller):

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

Then you see line \let\oldmakecvtitle\makecvtitle. That means that the original macro is backuped in the new macro oldmakecvtitle. So the original macro can be changed to include the photo.

If you want to use the original macro just call the old macro:

\oldmakecvtitle  % Instead of \makecvtitle

See the following MWE to get a CV with photo, a letter without photo as you need:

If you want to use macro \makecvtitle instead of \oldmakecvtitle you can use the following line (before calling \makecvtitle):

\let\makecvtitle\oldmakecvtitle % to change back, if needed

If you cange the inserted code for the photo to:

\makeatletter
\@ifpackageloaded{moderncvstylebanking}{%
\let\oldmakecvtitle\makecvtitle
\renewcommand*{\makecvtitle}{%
  {\framebox{\includegraphics[width=\@photowidth]{\@photo}}%

  \oldmakecvtitle%

\makeatother
