Make it easier to define new sections about limecv

[TOmas2331]

Hi, is possible to add section Certification with same design as Education and Experience?
Thank you

[opieters]

Yes, but you will have to hack the document class to do that. I will add a more user friendly API some time in the future.

[TOmas2331]

I will try myself but which file limecv.cls or limecv.dtx?

[opieters]

When you just want to create a new section, you should modify the .cls file. This is the file latex looks at when compiling the document.

Has this function been implemented?

Do not think so but I can send you my source code... Dňa št, 21. feb 2019 9:46 Hanling Wang <[email protected]> napísal(a):

Hi there, i'm trying to add a new environment, Certificates for example. i've added these lines to the .cls file:
\NewDocumentEnvironment{Certificates}{}{%
\cv@Title{\pgfkeysvalueof{/@cv/names/certificates}}{\faBriefcase}
\stepcounter{cv@itemPrev}
\stepcounter{cv@itemNext}
\cv@definecvItem
}{%
\cv@EndSectionDraw
\stepcounter{cv@lastItem}
\draw (item \the\value{cv@itemPrev}.south west)
node (cv@last item \the\value{cv@lastItem}) {};
}
and of course defined /@cv/names/certificates variable using:
\pgfkeys{/@cv/names/certificates = Certificates}%
but i'm still getting an error saying the environement is not defined. Am i missing something? I'll appreciate your help.
P.S. i'm using the xelatex file in the example.

Please use the new interface \cvList. Documentation was updated to highlight the features. It is now also used internally.

Could somebody provide an example for the usage of \cvList? Or how could an icon be overriden in my main tex file? Overriding the title works for me like this \pgfkeys{/@cv/names/education = Teaching}.
Got it

\cvList{cvCertificate}{certificate}{\faCamera}
\pgfkeys{/@cv/names/certificate = Awards and Certificates}
