XF 2.3 how to find a permission group addon

[briansol]

I have a rogue permission group entry that I don't know where it came from.

I do not have any flag or IP related addons. How do i find where this is coming from?

Easiest way to find it would be to enable development mode.
Click on Permissions definitions



Look for View county flag on post.



Should tell you what addon the permission is coming from.

i really don't want to turn my production site into debug mode.

it must be stored in a db table some where? I'm looking but coming up short.

input type="radio" name="permissions[forum][viewCountryFlag]" value="allow"

I should see a forum category viewCountryFlag in my db, and i don't.

select * from xf_permission_entry_content where permission_id like '%Country%';

Empty set (0.000 sec)

select * from xf_permission_entry where user_group_id = 5 and permission_id like '%Country%' order by permission_entry_id desc limit 1000;

Empty set (0.001 sec)

select * from xf_permission_entry where user_group_id = 5 and permission_id like '%Flag%' order by permission_entry_id desc limit 1000;

Empty set (0.001 sec)

looks like this is from DP CF addon, which i do have, so it's legit.

Yes, but it should be overwritten by Never

Maybe try rebuilding permissions? Honestly it's pretty cut and dry as far as the addon goes. This is the logic used to add the flag:

<xf:if is="{{ $xf.visitor.hasPermission('forum', 'viewCountryFlag') }}"><xf:macro template="geo_macros" name="flag" arg-countryIso="{$post.Ip.Geo.country_iso}" /></xf:if>

The $xf.visitor.hasPermission('forum', 'viewCountryFlag') function is the standard XenForo core function. For whatever reason, your setup thinks that the visitor has that permission... why that might be, I'm not sure...
