## Shortcut URLs
- New routes: /cv-jamr-{year}-{lang}.pdf (e.g., /cv-jamr-2025-en.pdf)
- Year validation: Only current year accepted, returns 404 for past/future
- Auto-redirects (301) to: /export/pdf?lang={lang}&length=short&icons=show&version=with_skills
- Both languages supported: en and es
## PDF Modal Updates
- Replaced "Current View" option with "Default CV (Recommended)"
- Visual highlighting: purple gradient badge, star emoji ⭐, bold text
- Uses shortcut URL with dynamic year detection
- Clear recommendation for users (5 pages, short with skills)
## Technical Details
- Handler: DefaultCVShortcut() in internal/handlers/cv.go
- Pattern check in Home() handler for proper routing
- Helper function: window.openPdfModal() for references section
- Documentation: PDF-SHORTCUT-IMPLEMENTATION.md
Benefits:
- Memorable, shareable URLs (juan.andres.morenorub.io/cv-jamr-2025-en.pdf)
- Auto-updates yearly without code changes
- Clear user guidance for recommended CV format
Changed PDF export naming convention from 'detailed' to 'short' for better clarity and contrast with 'extended'. Updated:
- Documentation: All references from 'detailed' → 'short'
- JSON data files: Static PDF URLs now use cv-short-jamr-{{YEAR}}-{lang}.pdf
- Frontend modal: Removed 'short' → 'detailed' mapping (now stays as 'short')
- Static PDFs: Renamed cv-detailed-* to cv-short-* (deleted old files)
- Backend validation: Change
Problem: Inline icons embedded in responsibilities, courses, and
projects had explicit width='60' height='60' attributes that made
them too large (60px instead of ~16px).
Solution:
- Added CSS with !important to override inline width/height attributes
- Targeted inline icons in:
* Course responsibilities and descriptions
* Project descriptions and technologies
* Experience responsibilities (within divs)
- Preserved large icons (80px) for main company/course/project logos
Changes:
- static/css/03-components/_courses.css: Override to 1.2em
- static/css/03-components/_projects.css: Override to 1.2em
- static/css/03-components/_cv-section.css: Override to 1.2em
Test Results:
✅ 7 course inline icons: 16px × 16px
✅ Main company icons: 80px × 80px (preserved)
Change sidebar background from var(--sidebar-bg) to fixed #d1d4d2
so it remains the same light gray color in both light and dark themes.
The sidebar should provide a consistent visual anchor regardless
of the main content theme.
