Use cropresize() function inside featured products module

[dav3sh]

Hi, is there a way to implement the function cropresize() (/libraries/joomla/image/image.php) into the featured module template? (/modules/mod_virtuemart_product/tmpl/default.php)
Thank you for answering
I am using  VM3.0.1 and Joomla!3.4.4

Code Select Expand


if (!empty($product->images[0]) && is_a($product->images[0],'VmImage')) {
//$image = $product->images[0]->displayMediaThumb ('class="featuredProductImage" border="0"', FALSE);
$width=141;//your width
$height=195;//your height
$prod_img = &$product->images[0];
$file_name_thumb = $prod_img->createThumbName($width,$height);
$resizedImage_url = $prod_img->file_url_folder_thumb.$file_name_thumb.'.'.$prod_img->file_extension;
if (!file_exists($resizedImage_url)) {
$resizedImage_url = $prod_img->createThumb($width,$height);
}
$image = JHTML::image(JURI::root().$resizedImage_url, '', '');
} else {
$image = '';
}


There is the code to resize the images.. maybe it is possible to implement the crop function too?
Thank you anyway

In joomla core it looks like there is this function. It's a @param integer - $creationMethod - inside the createThumbs function. So when you're creating a thumb you can set it to 5 and you will get the resize and crop function. But I don't know if the createThumb of VM is the same of Joomla (I don't think so as there is a missing s in the vm function). Neither where to put this '5' in my previous code.
I've tried here:

$resizedImage_url = $prod_img->createThumb($width,$height,5);

But it doesn't work.
Thank you
