Buying wordpress NextGenGallery quick fix needed.

Hi,

I've a little script that uses NextGenGallery /wordpress system and outputs thumbnails of a post. I use custom fields to attach thumbnail to a post and than call it in template via:

											<?php
											query_posts('cat=35,147&showposts=6&order_by=date&order=DESC');
											if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();
											$text = get_the_content();
											$primary = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'primary');
											$primary = $primary[0];
											$do_not_duplicate[$post->ID] = $post->ID;
											//image size
											$w = 131;
											$h = 223;
											?>
                                          <li>
                                            <div class="descrpt slideright">
												<?php
												$img = nggSinglePicture($primary,$w,$h);
												//missing: class="cover" from image to make sliding cover work!
												echo strip_tags($img,'<img>');
												?>
                                                <h4><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="<?php _e("bookmark"); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h4>
                                                <p><? echo get_the_excerpt(); ?></p>
                                            </div>
                                          </li>
											<?php 
											$i++;
											endwhile; endif; 
											wp_reset_query();
											?>

Code (markup):

$w = 131; $h = 223; I require this width and height for my new wp template. But instead NextGen outputs resized image of 131*202. This is because original images uploaded are 156*240 and nextGen doesn't crop it just retains proportion and resizes image.

I need it to do cropping instead so my layout doesn't break.

I NEED HELP let me know.

 

well dear y dont u use featured image function and set the size of that image from settings?? i guess it will work check it out ..
