Template in online platform Overleaf #7

Closed Soumyabrata closed 6 years ago

Soumyabrata commented 6 years ago

Hello, Nice template, but it seems there is a problem in compiling it in online LaTeX platform (Overleaf). Here is the overleaf edit link. Any suggestions in solving this?

brainwave commented 6 years ago

The issue is stemming because the style template (mcdowellcv.cls) tries to check for which OS is running to apply platform specific spacing in the document. Removal of \usepackage{ifplatform} from line 70 fixes the error in overleaf. I'm adding some finishing touches, should soon have a template that works on overleaf.

@Soumyabrata - I have modified the class definitions to be overleaf compatible on an ad-hoc basis. Feel free to use them.

Brilliant - the modified version works great! I'd suggest to commit another change in the corresponding tex file - Change the line with\documentclass[]{mcdowellcv}to\documentclass[]{mcdowellcv_modified} to use the new corresponding class file. It will then compile successfully.

@Soumyabrata Thanks for the suggestion - I have committed the changes (and renamed mcdowellcv_modified to just mcdowell.cls to avoid any confusion).
