You can do it via ajax, first, let’s change your current function to this:
<?php
$args = array(
'order' => 'ASC',
'orderby' => 'menu_order',
'post_type' => 'attachment',
'post_parent' => $post->ID,
'post_mime_type' => 'image',
'post_status' => null,
'numberposts' => -1,
);
$images = get_posts( $args );
$imagenum=0;
foreach($images as $image):
$imagenum++;
?>
<div style="width:110px; float:left;">
<?php echo wp_get_attachment_image( $image->ID, $size="thumbnail", $icon = false, $attr="" ); ?><br>
<?php echo '<input type="checkbox" id="selected" name="image'.$imagenum.'" value="'.$image->ID.'" />Delete Image'; ?>
</div>
<?php endforeach; ?>
<input type="submit" id="submit" value="click submit" name="submit" />
<input type="hidden" value="" id="ids" />
Below your page, or in footer.php add this:
<script>
jQuery('#submit').click(function() {
jQuery('#ids').val('');
var content = jQuery('body').find('#selected');
jQuery(content).each(function (i) {
t = jQuery(this).val();
if (jQuery(this).attr('checked')=='checked') {
jQuery('#ids').val(function(i,val){
return val + t + ',';
});
};
});
var $ids = jQuery('#ids').val();
jQuery.ajax({
type : 'POST',
url : '<?php echo admin_url('admin-ajax.php'); ?>',
data : { action : 'front_delete', Delete: $ids, postID: <?php echo $post->ID; ?> },
success : function(response) {
if (response="reload") { location.reload(); } else { alert(response); }
}
});
});
</script>
Inside your theme functions.php paste this code:
add_action('wp_ajax_nopriv_front_delete', 'front_delete');
add_action('wp_ajax_front_delete', 'front_delete');
function front_delete() {
if (!isset($_REQUEST['postID']))
echo 'Post ID not coming...';
if (isset($_REQUEST['Delete'])) {
$sel = explode(',', $_REQUEST['Delete']);
foreach ($sel as $key) {
if ($key != '' || $key != '0')
wp_delete_attachment( $key );
if (false === wp_delete_attachment( $key ))
echo 'Image not deleted or error';
} echo 'reload';
} else { echo 'No ID coming from your function'; }
die();
}
If you want to understand it, I can explain … not sure if you want it… 🙂
