How to change titles in resume.json? for ex. from "work" to "experience"

[cvbate]

Hello, I am trying to change the names of the arrays for each section of the resume.json. However when I change the name in the json file, it removes the whole section from my site! I figured that there must be some variable defined elsewhere that calls these arrays by the name listed in the .json that'll have to change but I cant figure it out. I checked cv.liquid under _layouts but i didn't find anything(but maybe that's just me). I know I could just use the cv.md but I really want to get the .json to work! thank you!

EDIT: So i actually found it in cv.liquid after looking(again) and I was able to change the names of my arrays, however they are still not showing up on my site! See image below to see where i changed "volunteer" to "research". I copied and pasted it to the name of the array in resume.json so I know they are identical....but still nothing!

TLDR: you are changing in the wrong part of the code.

First of all there is a precedence of CV source, as stated in the docs. Based on what is written there, the order is:

1. resume data defined in _config.yml and loaded via a json file
2. _data/cv.yml if the first was not found

So this order is implemented there in _layouts/cv.liquid. {% unless site.data.resume %} means that will do what is inside this block unless site.data.resume doesn't exist. If it doesn't, it will do what is inside the {% else %} block.

So you are changing the code that handles the second case, not the first, which is your case.

Okay, thank you for your response! Do you (or anyone else) have a suggestion to change the titles? I looked in the config.yml and i saw this:

however changthing these to match what I changed in the jsonfile doesn't work either- nor does just changing the name in the json file itself.

I believe this limitation is due to the schema used in JSON Resume, which wouldn't recognize "experience" as a valid field. Hence, the titles don't change when you modifyresume.json (or anything else for that matter).

To make modifications to the titles, you'd have to revert to using the _data/cv.yml file. For this to be triggered, you must delete the assets/json/resume.json file.

Then, modify your _data/cv.yml file, where you can change the title: field to reflect the desired title.

- title: General Information
  type: map
  contents:
    - name: Full Name
      value: Albert Einstein
    - name: Date of Birth
      value: 14th March 1879
    - name: Languages
      value: English, German

Changing title: General Information to title: Basics would change the header of the first entry in your resume to Basics
