Adding supervisor to thesis

Question

I am writing some thesis in Latex and I use some template. At the first page I would like to add my supervisor. In one file there is possibility to add it. There is macro like: \college{}; \author{}; \title{}, but there are no for supervisor something like: "\supervisor{}". Do you know what macro I can use to add supervisor? Thanks.

I am using this template:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwyOySLlDTB_a3R5aFZQNzVFRG8/edit?usp=sharing

There is the file "thesis-info.tex", where I can define \college{}; \author{}; \title{}, etc., but I don't know how to add supervisor...?

Answer 1

This is an attempt and works. Please follow the following steps to establish a working directory.

1. Download all the template into a directory and save the testfile.tex shown below into the same directory.
2. Open up the class file PhDThesisPSnPDF.cls (a new *.cls name is preferred.)

3. Add the following lines to line 500 (right after the macro degree) in the -- macro definition section.

   \newcommand{\@supervisor}{} \newcommand{\supervisor}[1]{\renewcommand{\@supervisor}{#1}}

4. Also insert following lines to line 575 (right after the author position) in the -- title page section (maketitle).

   {\Large \bfseries{\@supervisor} \par} \vspace*{1ex}

5. Compile textfile.tex

Code: testfile.tex
