Curricula Vitae / Résumés ⇒ bibliography problem

[templateuser]

Hello! I'm quite frustrating on this template. Spent almost a day trying to use it. I'm not so much professional LaTeX user, maybe it is the reason.

1. It seems that Helvetica is commercial font, at least I cannot find where to download it legally for free. So, I replaced Helvetica to TeX-Gyre-Heros. Now it compiles and looking not bad.

2. The main problem is bibliography. I used following sequence: XeLaTeX cv_10 => biber cv_10 => XeLaTeX cv_10
But as result the Publications section is still empty. This is Miktex 2.9.4196 on provided cv_10.tex example.
Any ideas how to solve this issue? Thank in advice!

Hi,

You're correct that Helvetica is a commercial font so you have to purchase it in order to use it (or you could get a Mac .

What does the log look like when you run biber on cv_10? Most likely it's telling you what the problem is. Paste it here and I'll have a look!

Hi, Vel

Thank you for your reply

So, I had fixed this problem.
My LaTeX installation was too much old for that stuff.
I had perfomed full update for all packages and now its working.

Nice template, thanks!

Excellent, most problems tend to be caused by outdated LaTeX distributions or packages

Hi,

I have the same problem, bibliography items does not appear. When I execute biber cv_10 in the command prompt I get the following log file

Code: Select all

[0] Config.pm:320> INFO - This is Biber 1.9
[1] Config.pm:323> INFO - Logfile is 'cv_10.blg'
[54] biber-MSWIN:274> INFO - === %a %b %e, %Y, %H:%M:%S
[181] Utils.pm:160> ERROR - Cannot find control file 'cv_10.bcf'! - did you pass the "backend=biber" option to BibLaTeX?
[181] Biber.pm:110> INFO - ERRORS: 1

Any ideas? I've already performed an update of all my packages.

Thanks!

Hi,

You could try adding backend=biber to the square bracket of \RequirePackage[...]{biblatex} on line 177 in friggeri-cv.cls.

If that doesn't work, have you made modifications to the template? Are you sure you are running the biber cv_10 command in the directory of the template? To test this, make sure "ls cv_10.tex" isn't returning No such file or directory.

Cheers,
Vel

Thanks Vel,

I added backend=biber, everything it's working now. I also re-update all my packages.

I modified the friggeri-cv.cls file such that the bibliography items are numbered. This is what I have:

In line 177:

Code: Select all

\RequirePackage[defernumbers=true, style=numeric, maxnames=99, sorting=ydnt,
  backend=biber]{biblatex}

And a couple of lines before the file ends:

Code: Select all

\printbibliography[sorting=chronological, type={#1}, title={#2}, heading=subbibliography,
  resetnumbers=true]

In this way I can reset the counter in each refsection in the cv_10.tex file.

l was wondering if it's possible to get the citation numbers to count down and reset the counter in each refsection:

[3] newest item
[2] item
[1] oldest item


Best
mecadin!

Hey mecadin,

Great, I'm glad it works now!

It doesn't look like it's very easy to do what you ask and I haven't had to do it before. Here's a few resources that might help: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/ ... count-down http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/ ... -numbering http://tex.aspcode.net/view/63539927362 ... count-down
