pulling pictures from nextgen-gallery insted from flicker

[ozi]

hi all.
this is my first post although i almost finished with my theme. i still have some questions/issues for which i cant find the proper help, so i hope ill be able to get through with your help.

first thing i would like to resolve is as mentioned in subject, something already described @ the old forums, this thread. i used code Paul gave, which is:

<div class="hpflickr">

            <h4>Featured Photos</h4>

            <?php $recent = new WP_Query("cat=8&showposts=6"); while($recent->have_posts()) : $recent->the_post();?>[img]<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, [/img]" alt="<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, "Theme Name", true); ?> <?php the_title(); ?>" /><?php endwhile; ?>

      </div>

almost everyhing seems to be in place. just one thing bothers me big time. i should get small 75*75 thumbs but insted of those i get full sized pics. and i cant get this right. if i understood this right i can "call up" this with the custom field where besides "slideshow" i should also put the url from a pic.

correct me if i am wrong or complication things to much but is this the proper and only way? beside thumbs galleries n the first page i would also like for thubms to link to a proper post.

thanks

any clues?

whats your url? i've been researching something like this for a while.

test site is located @ http://www.strelskikluborto.org/test/

i remove the custom code from the obvious reason - over sized image.
without code there is just link. obvious.

thanks

The images that are displayed are the exact size you make them, so if you want 75*75 images that's what you need to upload.

oh i see. :?

so i guess i am better off with the featured gallery plugin than? i need a system with thubms, leading to a proper post. thing need to be as simple as possible. what do you suggest?

i did fool around with featured gallery but when i saw there are ways to do it also with the nextgen-gallery i just quit. i prefer nextgen-gallery though. but, making an extra thubms is not really the way i would prefer.
