I would like to update my CV and add also icons for linking, google schola, email, git and website.

I would like to be in the top right place, something like that

Name                IconWebsite IconEmail IconLinkedn IconGit etc

The CV that I have already is in the following format

\documentclass[10pt,a4paper,sans]{moderncv}

%% ModernCV themes
\moderncvstyle{classic}
\moderncvcolor{blue}
\renewcommand{\familydefault}{\sfdefault}
\nopagenumbers{}


%% Adjust the page margins
\usepackage[scale=0.82]{geometry}
\usepackage{color,soul} \setul{1ex}{0.8ex} \definecolor{orange}{rgb}{73,,0}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\setulcolor{orange}


%% connect text with internet 
\usepackage{hyperref}
\hypersetup{
    linkcolor=black,
    filecolor=magenta,

    urlcolor=cyan,
}


%% Personal data
\firstname{XXXXX}


%\mobile{XXXX}
\email{XXXXX}
\homepage{XXXXXX}


\begin{document}
\makecvtitle


\vspace*{-10mm}


\section{Personal statement}


\small XXXXXXX


\section{Education} 
\cvitem{XX -- XX}{\textbf{XXX}\newline
XXXX:
\begin{itemize}
\item XXXX
\item XXXX
\end{itemize} 
}


\end{document}

I have already checked this post Adding google scholar and Researchgate profile to the preamble in moderncv, but the code is not working for google scholar

  • What distribution in what version are you using. I tried to compile your MWE with Texlive 2022 up to date but first I need to have both \firstname{} and \lastname{} otherwise I'm having "Undefined control sequence. @firstname {}~ @lastname {}" error :s Second, I had "LaTeX Error: Option clash for package hyperref." error because it's already loaded by moderncv and when I comment it \hypersetup{ became an "Undefined control sequence" until moved from preamble to document body (or let it in preamble but load package with option unicode) – gildux Feb 10 '23 at 19:50

Some icons (with text) are provided with dedicated commands: \email{}, \fax{} or \phone[fax]{}, \mobile{} or \phone[mobile]{}, \phone[fixed]{} or just \phone{}, \homepage{}. For other icons, there's now the \social[type]{account} (with option type like linkedin/stackoverflow/github/etc.)

Not all social type are available. To add some others, here's how I did:

  1. First load fontawesome or, better, fontawesome5 package before all
  2. Choose a key, for example GS for Google Scholar,
  3. Associate that key with a symbol (hence the Font Awesome package), here mendeley or graduationCap
  4. Now use the variant \social[key][link]{display} (link is without https:// prefix)

Let's put all that together with the code

\documentclass{moderncv}
%…
\usepackage{fontawesome5} %1. to use the faIconName
%…
\newcommand*\GSsocialsymbol{\faMendeley~} %3. Association key-symbol
\social[GS][www.googlescholar.com/profile/myself]{myself} %4. 
%…
\begin{document}
%…
\end{document}

The link you pointed use image instead of FA icons. The previous list becomes

  1. Grab the the associated image, and load graphicx package
  2. Still choose a key
  3. Associate that key with that image
  4. Use the variant \social[key][link]{display}

I didn't test but I'm quite confident. Maybe you'll need to load graphicx too (but I think it's already done for commands like photo[][]{})

\documentclass{moderncv}
%…
\usepackage{graphicx} %1. to use \includegraphics
%…
\newcommand*\GSsocialsymbol{\includegraphics[width=0.5cm]{path-to-image}~} %3. 
\social[GS][www.googlescholar.com/profile/myself]{myself} %4. 
%…
\begin{document}
%…
\end{document}

  • I was able to reproduce. Strange I didn't notice that (maybe because I redefined label items?) Switching to \usepackage{fontawesome5} solve it. – gildux Feb 10 '23 at 19:57

The following is working into my code:

\usepackage{academicons}

\extrainfo{
        \faEnvelope\href{mailto:xxx}{ Email} \quad
        \aiGoogleScholarSquare\href{xxx}{ GoogleScholar} \quad
        \faLinkedin\href{xxx}{ Linkedin}

        }
