How to remove the sideblock and move the rest to the left?

Post by templateuser »

I really like this template, except for the sideblock. What I would like to do is remove the sideblock and move the rest to the left to fill up the newly free space. I've tried to edit a few things in the cls-file, but to no avail as I'm still a LaTeX newbie. Could someone give me a pointer in the right direction?

Hey,

Go into friggeri-cv.cls and find the following line:

\RequirePackage[left=6.1cm,top=2cm,right=1.5cm,bottom=2.5cm,nohead,nofoot]{geometry}

change left=6.1cm to something smaller, like 2.1cm. This will change how far right the headings and dates are.

Then, find the line:

#1&\parbox[t]{11.8cm}{%

and change the 11.8cm to something larger like 15.8cm. This will change where the rest of the text in the entrylist's is positioned in relation to the headings.

Would there be any way to do this only on a second page or for specific sections? I'm doing a two-page resume and would like the sections on the second page to be left-alligned as I have nothing in the aside on the second page.

Any help would be very appreciated.

Hey,

Just add \newgeometry{left=2cm} where the second page begins to reduce the left margin which will get rid of the space taken up by the sidebar before.
