Is it possible for those of us who struggle to type the trigger code out, to have a button or something that we can select the text we need to trigger warning then trigger warning it with a button?

I confess I was so busy trying to get the trigger code thing right in a post that I forgot the red blob thing, then when I remembered i couldn't add it

Willowtigger is a dumbo

I sorry

Pretty sure that that can be accomplished, right?

Do you mean Trigger code thing for posts and thread, or do you mean:

I think a button would help too. We already have one for quotes. And I think several members struggle with the html brackets for trigger warnings.
Thanks for this!

I mean the red dot blob thing that means something is triggering, I got so caught up in trying to type the trigger word with the brackets round it that I forgot about the red dot

I just hope I not annoyed or angered admin by posting this

I put at the top of this post the red dot that I mean

I think?????

Thanks for the suggestion. However, due to the way the code works, we cannot create a button in order to use it.

The FAQ explains how to use the trigger code in your posts:

Is the whole "must use both" set in stone? Or if we remember to get the code working properly in the post, like i did, but forget the red dot, is that a big problem? sorry i'm worried over it

i dont want to go wrong then end up with something scary happening on forum

forum crinimal offence not getting both in a post cause i forgot the red dot by accident cause i was too focussed on getting the trigger code thing to work without making my computer explode

i'll probably copy paste it from the FAQ just so i remember to get both in the post

i'm assuming its set in stone, the whole use-both thing and we not allowed to by accident forget

Dear @DocJohn
Can we get an additional button in the WYSIWYG Editor of the forums, just like the mention thing, for the trigger block? I am certain, it would be appreciated.

Thanks for this!

You didn't break it - up in the post, you accidently didnt do [trigger] but you did [ trigger] - an extra space. And the computer having its rules, couldn't work with it.

All good, willow
Thanks for this!

Nothing is broken. You forgot a slash (/) if you don't put the / it will not work. Technology is very picky that way.

If someone doesn't type the code right, I go back and edit it to fix it.
Thanks for this!

See my reply #6. Sorry, we can't do it because trigger isn't a single code, it needs a closing code to work properly. Thank you for the suggestion, though.

I am sorry, DocJohn, but as far as I can see, the MENTION-mechanic has (bb-code wise) the same requirement, and was integrated into the editor UI. I mean, is it different to generate two corresponding [MENTION] tags or two corresponding [TRIGGER] (I did, for readability sake, skip the corresponding closing tags), I wonder.

I am sorry, if I, as a mere regular forum member might be crossing a line by challenging you.

This has been added as per the request. It is available only in the advanced (full) editor, not the quick edit reply box.

Example:
