Optional fields

[sursu]

Amazing template!

But how do I make some fields optional?

For instance: for some entries in Professional Experience I don't want to include tags or in Projects I don't want to provide the links. If I simply delete them that distorts the appearance.

Also, I can't find where are they defined, could you document what other logos are there: \faLaptop, \faBook, \faTasks, \faMortarBoard, \faCode, \faSuitcase, faGlobe, faPlus,...?

Hi, thanks for your issue.

First, for the optional fields in Professional Experience and in Projects, I don't see a way to ahieve what you want out of the box. I'll be back soon with more info of how to acchieve this manually.

For the logos, they are all coming from the Fontawesome 5 latex package. I will post here the link as soon as I retrieve it.

@sursu , I may be late, but if anyone looks for a simple fix here it is. You could just edit the .cls file in order to add a new command called \experiencenotag for instance. That means in yaac-another-awesome-cv.cls you add

\newcommand\experiencenotag[6]{
  \textbf{#1}    & \textbf{#2, \textsc{#3}, #4}   \\*
  \textbf{#5}    & \begin{minipage}[t]{\rightcolumnlength}
  					         #6
                   \end{minipage}	\\
  }

and in your section_experience.tex you use \experiencenotag instead of \experience for each item. This will simply remove the tags and the blank line that they should fill.

An other way to go would be to use an option in the original \experience command such that you could specify \experience[tag=false]{bla}{bla}{bla}{..}, but that is more difficult to do.

Would it be possible to add this to the Readme.md or some kind of documentation? I really like your template a lot, but it's tough to have to dive into issues like these to find out which icons can be used.

I've used this link as a reference but some of them don't seem to work, is there a complete up to date reference for it?

I would also like to make some fields optional, currently i've just rewritten the function and changed it's name (is there such a thing as overloading a function in latex?).

This PDF made it work for me. It's a doc for this repo apparently. Can't say for sure if it is complete, but it's comprehensive. And it does not include \faAward, which is present on fontawesome.com but does not work from within the CV.

I'm glad you commented in this issue, as I've asked a more general question in stackoverflow, which although specific to Overleaf, might be of use in order to find documentation for an arbitrary package. The post can be found here.
