Is there a way to delete a photo (3.7) without going to edit it?

[ringleader]

I am looking to incorporate a delete button underneath photos for their owner, and I was wondering if anyone knew a way to pass the 'delete' order directly to
album.php?do=updatepictures without going to do=editpictures.

i.e. it would just delete without the intermediary 'edit' page.

If you look at the form for the edit page, you can probably find out what form it uses and what variables need to be passed. I did something similar on my site where my Mods have a single button to hit to Move a thread to another forum and remove the torrent/attachment at the same time. You need to pass the attachment id for sure. So, you may need a few Delete buttons - one for each attachment.

Yeah, I had tried everything it seemed, so I was at the stage where I was ready to be just told how to do it

I got it in the end with this piece of code on an updatepictures form

<input type="image" src="img/new/ico_del.gif" alt="delete photo" name="pictures[$pictureinfo[pictureid]][delete]" id="cb_delete_pic$pictureinfo[pictureid]" value="1" tabindex="1" />
