Include bare LinkedIn & GitHub URL in the header section

[JunjieLeiCoe]

Hi All,

This is a truly awesome open source project! Thanks for all your effort!

What I'm actually want to know is how to include a bare address in the header section and also be clickable

For example, I know, for now you just need to include your GitHub Handler & LinkedIn Handler there. But when I include the full path https://github.com/xxxxx and https://www.linkedin.com/in/xxxxx/, it becomes not clickable and return a 404 page not found error.

Does anyone has some suggestions on that!? Thanks in advance!

Assuming you're putting the full path into the .tex file github...

Try changing line 509 in the .cls file from this

\href{https://github.com/\@github}{\faGithubSquare\acvHeaderIconSep\@github}%

to this

\href{\@github}{\faGithubSquare\acvHeaderIconSep\@github}%

It should work. If it does, do the same for linkedin.

If you'd like to have a partial path on the resume, e.g. "github.com/UserName3384493942397," you would need to add the rest of the URL back into the .cls file, e.g. \href{https://\@github}

We could potentially strip/avoid duplicating the prefix if present, but I'd be hesitant to do that without making it consistent behaviour across all of these header icon links, which would be quite a bit of work.

If you did want to take that on, I'd probably suggest refactoring them all to use some common href wrapper that does the stripping/de-duplicating. e.g. \acvSocial{https://github.com/}{\faGithubSquare}{\@github}.

Ah, @dcsim points out in the issue linked above that that's been done (but could do with rebasing) in #315.

Thanks all!!! for the help. Update -- changing Line 481

        {%
          \ifbool{isstart}{\setbool{isstart}{false}}{\acvHeaderSocialSep}%
          \href{https://gitlab.com/\@gitlab}{\faGitlab\acvHeaderIconSep\@gitlab}% 
        }%

My line index might be off, remove the https://gitlab.com/ will be fine, just @your peronsal handler will do the job!
