Note
How to use it
- The Home link is hard coded, due to it's needed in most cases (some version).
- The drop down menu can be changed through page mediawiki:sidebar, the format should be like this:
- * navigation 1
- ** mainpage|mainpage
- ** portal-url|portal
- ** currentevents-url|currentevents
- ** recentchanges-url|recentchanges
- * navigation 2
- ** randompage-url|randompage
- ** helppage|help
- ** sitesupport-url|sitesupport
- * navigation 3
- ...
- The page image name is same as page class name, which can be viewed through page source code and search body tag; for example, the main page is page-Main_Page; it's case sensitive, put the image file under folder gumaxdd/images/pages/. If you don't want this feature, just delete associated images under gumaxdd/images/pages/.
