I am trying to make my CV with moderncv, and am looking for a way to mask an ugly url in the homepage command (right under my name in the title). The problem has been solved already here: Moderncv shorthand URL in header.
Unfortunately the fix only works with the "classic" theme, but I am using the "banking" theme. There is example code given in the link above.
You have to change the name of the command to be patched. See in the following code line 8 for my changings:
\documentclass{moderncv}
\moderncvstyle{banking} % banking classic <=========================
\moderncvcolor{blue}
\usepackage{etoolbox}
\makeatletter
\patchcmd{\makehead}% <cmd> % <========================================
{\httplink{\@homepage}}% <search>
{{\ifx\@homepage@shorthand\relax
\httplink{\@homepage}% Used \homepage{<URL>}
\else
\httplink[\@homepage@shorthand]{\@homepage}% Used \homepage[<desc>]{<URL>}
\fi}}% <replace>
{}{}% <succes><failure>
\RenewDocumentCommand{\homepage}{o m}{%
\let\@homepage@shorthand\relax%
\providecommand\@homepage{#2}%
\IfNoValueF{#1}{\def\@homepage@shorthand{#1}}%
}
\makeatother
\firstname{John}
\lastname{Doe}
\homepage[shorthand]{long link that I'd like to mask}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\end{document}
with the result:
If the version of moderncv is changing it could be that the code above has to be reworked ...
If I add command \listfiles before \documentclass{} I get the following list of used class and packages and versions:
