moderncv banking style: add a extra line above the address information

Question

I would like to add a extra information, but before the address information line, and after my name, of course.

How can I do that?

Answer 1

The following minimal example patches \maketitle to insert a macro that contains "extra information" in the title for the moderncv banking style. The command used to adjust this "extra information" is \someextrainfo{<stuff>}. You can also adjust the font, if needed, using \someextrainfofont{<font>}. Note that you may have to reset any such font changes using \addressfont{<font>}, as fonts are set using switches.

\documentclass{moderncv}
\moderncvstyle{banking}
\moderncvcolor{blue}

\usepackage{etoolbox}
\makeatletter
\patchcmd{\maketitle}% <cmd>
  {\addressfont\color{color2}}% <search>
  {\@someextrainfofont\color{color2}%
   \ifcsdef{@someextrainfo}{\@someextrainfo\\}{}%
   \addressfont}% <replace>
  {}{}% <success><failure>
\providecommand{\@someextrainfofont}{}
\newcommand{\someextrainfo}[1]{\gdef\@someextrainfo{#1}}
\newcommand{\someextrainfofont}[1]{\gdef\@someextrainfofont{#1}}
\makeatother

\usepackage{libertine}
\usepackage[scale=0.75]{geometry}

\name{John}{Doe}
\someextrainfo{some extra information}
\address{street and number}{postcode city}{country}
\phone[mobile]{+1~(234)~567~890}
\phone[fixed]{+2~(345)~678~901}
\phone[fax]{+3~(456)~789~012}

Answer 2

Finally, I edit Wener's code. Just to make a difference between the default extrainfo and this new extrainfo

The following minimal example patches `\maketitle` to insert a macro that contains "extra information" in the title for the [`moderncv`](http://ctan.org/pkg/moderncv) `banking` style. The command used to adjust this "extra information" is `\extrainfo{<stuff>}`. You can also adjust the font, if needed, using `\extrainfofont{<font>}`. Note that you may have to reset any such font changes using `\addressfont{<font>}`, as fonts are set using *switches*.
