I'm struggling with getting the look I want in my trial of Community to replace my Weebly site. One page I'm trying to clone is shown on the left below. Part of the issue I'm having is that I used tabs on the Weebly page, which you don't have, so I'm creating separate pages for each of the tabs and using the folder navigation widget to let the user navigate somewhat like having tabs.

But ignoring the tabs issue, the page is basically a gallery of pictures 3 columns wide and ~50 rows deep. That lets the viewer scroll through and get a good feeling for everything that went on at the show.

But on Community I'm seeing these ways to show the pics, none of which are what I'm looking for, so I need help:

1. Images Widget: I've loaded the pics but all I can see is a narrow strip of them, as shown on the other screenshot below. Maybe I'm missing something in the settings on how many rows will show, but I've not found a setting that seems to work.
   

2. Albums: I've created an album that does show the pics, but getting to and from it to my 2025 Truck Show page doesn't work. In other words, while I can create a menu item to go to the album and have it in the folder navigation, I can't figure out how to put the folder navigation widget on the album page so the user can easily navigate back.
   

3. Clubs: Mike has created a club for our truck shows, but while I find that to be a very kludgy approach it seems to suffer in the same way Albums do as I don't see a way to have the folder navigation widget on a club page.

Surely I'm missing somethings, plural, on this so I look forward to your help. But if there isn't something I'm overlooking how about either modifying your images widget to allow setting the number of rows and columns or having another widget that creates a gallery?

When you add a widget, are you using the options showing at the bottom of the page to change the view? I ask as I can get very close to what you are seeing using the "Wallpaper" view, and adjusting the padding

If you are unsure what I mean, open the page editor, select the widget, then you will see a menu open at the bottom of the screen

Marc - I was, and still am, unsure what you mean. So I opened the page editor, selected the Images widget, and saw this at the bottom of the page saying "Remove box-style wrapping".

Then I clicked the edit button and found, oddly enough, three tabs. The Settings tab has the options shown on the left below at the bottom of the page. The Visibility tab just lets me determine what devices the pics will be shown on. And the Advanced tab has the options shown on the right. But none of them say anything about Wallpaper view.

So I'm missing something. 😒

This is what my colleague is referring to:

Thanks, @Jim M. I'd not have twigged to that since it says box-style wrapping. But do it want it on or off? And what settings should I set the padding to? Am I missing some instructions on how to do this?

You'll want to change it to Wallpaper:

Sorry, but I'm dense. That looks like it is on a Gallery page, not the Images Widget on a page I've created. In the Images Widget the box at the bottom of my page just lets me restore or remove box-style wrapping.

Within your Images block, click the blue pencil and then you will see what Marc and Jim are directing you to.

That is on any page as it is not page specific, that is the block you're seeing there.

I think we may be talking cross-purposes. I'm talking about the Images Widget on a Page and I think Marc and Jim are talking about a Gallery. Yes?

I say that because in Jim's screenshot it says "Gallery" - shown to the right:

But when I go to my Page with the Images Widget and the blue pencil, shown below. And then if I click the blue pencil I get what is shown below that on the Settings tab - in two screenshots as I have ~150 pics that show between the top and bottom

The other two tabs, Visibility & Advanced, options are shown below but to the right. And nowhere that I can find are options like Jim is talking about.

I'm missing something that is probably obvious. I'm sorry. ☹️

Jim - I'm not seeing that at all. My post above shows what I'm seeing. I know I'm missing something and I feel like an idiot, but I'm just not finding it. If you can edit it and show me what I'm missing I'd love it. There is nothing that can't be rebuilt. Here's the URL - I think.

Ah, these are indeed different blocks. The image block isnt the gallery widget. Unfortunately, as you have already seen, there isnt the same kind of layouts for that block currently

Marc - Thanks, but I was hoping it was just that I was missing something. Instead it looks like another something Community is missing - a picture gallery widget or the ability in the existing widget to do a wallpaper view.

I do see that there is a workaround - create an album and then use the Image Feed widget on a page. But that's kludgy as now I have the same pics showing up in two places.

As a workaround, you *might be able to create a Category for all those images, and draw from that category. No specific need to create albums within a category.

Thanks. But I'm coming to the conclusion that Community wasn't meant to be a website builder. Yes, there are frequently work-arounds, but they are for something that is straightfoward on a website builder.

I've been doing a test to see how easy it would be to move my website here, and it is pretty obvious that it wouldn't be easy. The two things that have stumped me to this point, tabs and a gallery widget, are missing. And it feels like I'd find others if I kept testing.

Thanks again. I do appreciate everyone's help.

Bear in mind, its actually the first rendition of the new page builder for version 5, so do continue to add any items you wish to see in the future to our feedback area

Ok. I've run into a couple of other "issues". And I'll compare the building blocks to those of Weebly and see what else might be missing.

But do you want each of them in separate threads or should I congregate them into one?

Doing a single topic would be fine
