Hi,
installed new GuMaxDD skin, looking for
file upload link.
No file upload link.
Do I need to install extensions to have standard Mediawiki to support multimedia, images on pages ?
If so, what is a right link, since page editor supports text only, no image link support.

Thanks Paul,
I did it and learn more about Multimedia in Wiki.
My question is about a code coming with your skin.
I opened gumax skin directory and was surprised to see long code files vs.
standard skins by Mediawiki (opened by Notepad++).
Is the all code really necessary to build horizontal drop-down menu,
since it's an easy job to build such meny with standard html code.
Ok, I am fully aware, apps like Mediawiki, Joomla, Drupal, WordPress are php and MySQL database driven.
But would appreciate your opnion, since I would like to suggest another approach,
multi-layer apps, and menu layer object, connecting to real app via API (AJAX ..) , coming with all features, options,
flying GUI, one can easily move from one php app to another.
