Get rid of the dot at the end of cventry and of the pagenumber in komacv

Question

I want to get rid of the dot after \cventry. I found the section in the cls-file but if I copy that in my preamble and remove the dot it still doesn’t work. Only if I remove the dot temporarily in the cls-File it works. I think this is something for the renewecommand – but I haven’t been able to apply it to get the result…

I actually don’t see why the dot and also the commas between the parts of \cventry are pre-formatted. Wouldn’t it be better to keep the style flexibel?

\documentclass[style=casual,]{komacv}
\renewcommand*\urlbordercolor{red}
\hypersetup{pdfcreator=Someone else}

\providecommand*{\cventry}[7][\@afterelementsvspace]{%
  \cvitem[#1]{#2}{%
{\bfseries#3}%
\ifstrempty{#4}{}{, {\itshape#4}}%
\ifstrempty{#5}{}{, #5}%
\ifstrempty{#6}{}{, #6}%
.% That is the dot I want to get rid of.
\ifx&#7&%
\else{%
  \newline{}\begin{minipage}[t]{\linewidth}%
    \small#7%
  \end{minipage}%
}%
\fi%
}%
}

With the pagenumbers I also found the entry in the komacv_casual.sty-File. But I could not undo it in the preamble. The relevant code is:

  \makebox[0pt][r]{\pagemark/\totalpagemark}

Answer 1

That should do what you want: renew the definition ov cventry as well as the definition of the pagestyle:

\documentclass[style=casual,]{komacv}
\renewcommand*\urlbordercolor{red}
\hypersetup{pdfcreator=Someone else}

\makeatletter
\renewcommand*{\cventry}[7][\@afterelementsvspace]{%
    \cvitem[#1]{#2}{%
        {\bfseries#3}%
        \ifstrempty{#4}{}{, {\itshape#4}}%
        \ifstrempty{#5}{}{, #5}%
        \ifstrempty{#6}{}{, #6}%
        % That is the dot I want to get rid of.
        \ifx&#7&%
        \else{%
            \newline{}\begin{minipage}[t]{\linewidth}%
                \small#7%
            \end{minipage}%
        }%
        \fi%
    }%
}
  \defpagestyle{footer}
