I am updating my CV, first time I do it with Latex, and I decided to use the template I downloaded from this link https://it.sharelatex.com/templates/cv-or-resume/fancy-cv

I wrote my CV and I tried to compile it either with pdflatex and with pdftex but I got the same error

Is there anyone who can help me with this?

  • It looks like a fairly common non-CTAN class (really a "template", I suppose) called "Friggeri". Unless it's been changed, you need to use either xelatex or lualatex, not pdflatex to compile it. But you are providing a link to a site that requires registration (which I don't feel up to at the moment), so I don't really know what you are doing. If you are compiling offline, why are you using ShareLaTeX? (Note that for *TeX-related issues, the code that produces the error is usually far more important than the error message the code produces.) – jon Mar 03 '17 at 20:41
  • What I did was to download the template from the link I sent and modified it to fill with my informations. I just tried to compile it either with xelatex and lualatex but it did not work as well. Is there something else I can do? – nicknock82 Mar 03 '17 at 20:47

    That template is broken in so many ways. It won't compile on a current TeX installation even without any changes. – hakaze Mar 03 '17 at 21:19

    Generally speaking, I'd advise against using it even if it did work. Creating a CV is a great way to learn LaTeX (if you are not in a rush): it involves different things like page layouts, environments, lists, tables, font-changing, bibliography, etc. Since similar information is likely repeated, it also encourages you to think about how to move from ad hoc LaTeX programming to how to write effective macros in order to achieve consistency in formatting. (I should also add that I do not have the file you refer to, so I can't advise how to 'fix' it.) – jon Mar 03 '17 at 21:25

Your issue might be because the Biblatex has changed certain commands, e.g., \DeclareNameFormat. More details can be found in Biblatex 3.3 name formatting. Based on it, I made several changes on the friggeri-cv.cls which I downloaded from the link your provided.

First of all, I added the following sentences (modified from the ones from Biblatex 3.3 name formatting)

\newbibmacro{name:newformat}{%
\ifblank{\namepartgiven}{}{\namepartgiven\space}\namepartfamily%
%\textbf{\namepartfamily}  % #1->\namepartfamily, #2->\namepartfamilyi
%\textbf{\namepartgiven}   % #3->\namepartgiven,  #4->\namepartgiveni
%[prefix: \namepartprefix] % #5->\namepartprefix, #6->\namepartprefixi
%[suffix: \namepartsuffix] % #7->\namepartsuffix, #8->\namepartsuffixi
}

Just before the \DeclareNameFormat{author}{%, and then I changed the declare of the name format as follows.

\DeclareNameFormat{author}{%
\small\addfontfeature{Color=lightgray}%
\nameparts{#1}% split the name data, will not be necessary in future versions
\usebibmacro{name:newformat}%
\ifthenelse{\value{listcount}<\value{liststop}}
{\addcomma\space}
{}%
}

Eventually, it works. But you should use xelatex to compile it. If you see all the links are surrounded by rectangles, then you can add the following settings for hyperref in your cv.tex.

\hypersetup{pdfborder={0 0 0}}

Hope this will help you.
