Curricula Vitae / Résumés ⇒ Illegal parameter number in definition of . to be read again

[Renthal]

Downloading and compiling the Friggeri-CV I get the following error:

Code: Select all

! Illegal parameter number in definition of \blx@defformat@d.<to be read again>3 \ifblank{#3
! Illegal parameter number in definition of \blx@defformat@d.<to be read again>3 \ifblank{#3}{}{#3

Condiering that I have a fresh up-to-date installation (I made sure to install latest MikTek version 2.9.6022 and just to be sure, I installed last version of ALL packages) I am quite confident the problem relies in the class definition.

The problem clearly is located in the bibliography because if I remove it everything works fine. However, biber compiles successfully is Xelatex that fails.
Specifically as I understand ( I am no latex expert ) there is a problem with the most recent update of Bibtek (see http://www.texdev.net/2016/03/13/biblat ... ameformat/) but I am not capable of correcting it myself.

Can someone help me please?

Welcome,

the issue is known, http://latex-community.org/forum/viewto ... 62&t=27239, but unfortunately nobody has updated the template yet.

The bibliography section was outdated a while, and finally broke completely. Getting everything up to date is quite a big amount of work.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Workaround: Rename the class file to be friggeri-<yourName>.cls and remove all parts that belong to the bibliography. Then load package biblatex as you would do in a usual document. It will look a tiny bit different, but it will work.

Thank you for the quick answer, I saw the other topic but the "solution" provided there is not working.

I am now trying to do what you suggested for a workaround. Removoing everything related to biblio was easy, but now I do not know how to make the bliob fit there (under publications) without creating a new chapter and messing with the template. I am using:

Code: Select all

\nocite{*}
\bibliography{bibliography}
\bibliographystyle{alpha}

But i get:

Code: Select all

! Argument of \@sectioncolor has an extra }.<inserted text>\par \begin{thebibliography}{FCF{\etalchar{+}}11i}
! Paragraph ended before \@sectioncolor was complete.<to be read again>\par \begin{thebibliography}{FCF{\etalchar{+}}11i}

I don't care too much about the look, is there any simple solution ot make it work?

Now you would be using the older BibTeX system instead of the more modern (and changing) biblatex system, which shouldn't be a problem. But it is
Honestly, the template does some crazy stuff.

I will have to take a look at this tomorrow.


EDIT: If you have time till next week, i can apply a proper fix over the weekend and push it to latextemplates.com.

Hi everyone!
Does anybody already fix the problem ? I am using the template and did an update of MiKTeX yesterday and my CV doesn't compile anymore although I don't us (as far as I know) the bibliography. I tried to comment out everything that is related to the bibliography but then it didn't work neither.
