Custom thumbnails for NGG galleries
[NB] This feature will be available in NGG 1.2 You can already test it by checking out the trunck version from here
This is a small extension for NextGen Gallery, it allow you to specify which area NGG must use to generate the the thumbnail.
Quite often the thumbnails generated by NGG do not show the "right" part of the picture, this happen especially when you have a gallery with people, where you want to show in the thumb the face and not the belly.
Demo
Have a look here where you can see two galleries (same pictures) the first with the standard and the second with custom thumbnails.
Installation
First unpack the archive to the NGG root directory, then open manage-images.php and modify line 338 from
<img class="thumb" src="<?php echo $picture->thumbURL; ?>" <?php echo $thumbsize ?> />
to
<img class="thumb" id="thumb<?php echo $pid ?>" src="<?php echo $picture->thumbURL; ?>" <?php echo $thumbsize ?> />
and add this line at the end of nggallery.php
include_once (dirname (__FILE__)."/admin/custom_thumbnails.php");
Download
Here the package for the version 0.2 it ONLY works with WP 2.7 and NGG 1.0

Get back Insert media button in WPMU
This is a really simple plugin I always add to my default installation of WPMU. Nowadays embedded media are really commons in blog's post and all my customers were asking for it.
I found the plugin "Allow Embedded Videos" (http://wpmudev.org/project/Allow-Embedded-Videos) but still the button in the editor didn't show up.
