handler for deletePost

[Wormopolis]

Can Tim Camara or someone explain how the handler for deletePost works?  I was looking at the js for it, and it seems like its using the class associated with the li tag that it is on, but when I tried to manually change it to be a different id number, it disabled the delete function completely.  It looks as if its checking listManager for all selected posts, but when you do a delete on a single post you dont manually select the post first - it just knows its going to do the one.  does simply opening the options menu somehow select that post first?

Here's the code:

else if(value == post_id+'-deletePost') {
var selected_posts = [];
for(var i = 0; i < self.selected_posts.length; i++) {
if(self.selected_posts[i] != post_id && ($('#post-'+self.selected_posts[i]).length == 0 || $('#post-'+self.selected_posts[i]).hasClass('deletable')))
selected_posts.push(self.selected_posts[i]);
}
selected_posts.push(post_id);

proboards.confirm_dialog('posts', 'delete', selected_posts, function(data) {
// If a redirect_url is set, then that means the thread was deleted
if(typeof data['redirect_url'] != 'undefined') {
// Redirect to that url
window.location = data['redirect_url'];
}
// Else refresh the list
else {
self.unselect_all();

// clear search cache and trigger re-search
listMan.research();

// Update selection
listMan.selected_ids = [];
listMan.selected_items = {};
}
});
}
So what it's doing is first looping through all of the selected posts to grab their ids, then it manually adds the current post's id so that it doesn't have to be selected before deletion.  As for trying to override it, you could probably manipulate the class on the post that they're clicking delete from or manipulate listManager's internal selected_post array, or it might be even easier to just add a new button that when clicked directly calls the confirm_dialog function with a custom array of ids passed in.
