Hello I am new to LaTeX and like it!

In moderncv I have a Link to my Linkedin profile. However, this link is http and I'd like to change to https.

Example

    documentclass[11pt,a4paper,sans]{moderncv}

    moderncvstyle{casual}

    moderncvcolor{blue}

    usepackage[scale=0.75]{geometry}



    name{John}{Doe}

    social[linkedin]{reidhoffman}



    begin{document}



    makecvtitle



    section{Education}

    cventry{year--year}{Degree}{Institution}{City}{textit{Grade}}                        {Description}



    end{document}

I tried to customize the link as described in Fixing the 'social' command of 'moderncv' for LinkedIN (intl profile) but it doesn't accept https.

If you need a minimal working example, just use the default template of moderncv at http://www.pirbot.com/mirrors/ctan/macros/latex/contrib/moderncv/examples/template.tex . Thanks in advance!

A fix by "renew-ing" the documentclass command to use href{}{} for
this page:

documentclass[11pt,a4paper,sans]{moderncv}

moderncvstyle{casual}

moderncvcolor{blue}

usepackage[scale=0.75]{geometry}



% Added these lines (until `makeatother` that belongs to documentclass `moderncv.cls`)

You need simply to define a new command httpslink like

% makes a https hyperlink

% usage: httpslink[optional text]{link}

newcommand*{httpslink}[2][]{% <=======================================

  ifthenelse{equal{#1}{}}%

    {href{https://#2}{#2}}%

    {href{https://#2}{#1}}}

Then you can simply change the call of httplink to httpslink to get your wished result.

Please see the following MWE (important code changings marked with <======):

documentclass[11pt,a4paper,sans]{moderncv}



moderncvstyle{casual}

moderncvcolor{blue}



usepackage[scale=0.75]{geometry}



% makes a https hyperlink

% usage: httpslink[optional text]{link}

newcommand*{httpslink}[2][]{% <=======================================

  ifthenelse{equal{#1}{}}%

    {href{https://#2}{#2}}%

    {href{https://#2}{#1}}}



% adds a social link to one's personal information (optional)

% usage: social[<optional type>][<optional url>]{<account name>}

% where <optional type> should be either "linkedin", "twitter" or "github"

RenewDocumentCommand{social}{O{}O{}m}{% <=============================

  ifthenelse{equal{#2}{}}%

    {%

      ifthenelse{equal{#1}{linkedin}}{collectionadd[linkedin]{socials}{protecthttpslink[#3]{www.linkedin.com/in/#3}}}{}% <==========================================

      ifthenelse{equal{#1}{twitter}} {collectionadd[twitter]{socials} {protecthttpslink[#3]{www.twitter.com/#3}}}    {}% <=====================

      ifthenelse{equal{#1}{github}}  {collectionadd[github]{socials}  {protecthttpslink[#3]{www.github.com/#3}}}     {}% <=====================

    }

    {collectionadd[#1]{socials}{protecthttpslink[#3]{#2}}}}

section{Education}

cventry{year--year}{Degree}{Institution}{City}{textit{Grade}}                        {Description}



end{document}

which gives you the wished result: https://www.linkedin.com/in/reidhoffman. Please see that I changed the old protocolls httplink to httpslink also for all other possibilitys command social gave you to add social links to your cv ...
