I finally got a chance to work on this today. I switched back to XWiki 7.2 and I got the
Distribution Wizard interface telling me that the 7.1.2 UI is invalid and to upgrade
(again). Is that supposed to happen? I never did anything to "downgrade" the
UI.
This time, I noticed that I get these errors:
Failed to register the wiki component located in the document [Home » AppWithinMinutes »
ApplicationsPanelEntry]: WikiComponentException: Registering UI extensions at wiki level
requires wiki administration rights
Failed to register the wiki component located in the document [Home » Stats »

I am an administrator - maybe this is the problem?

Keith, have you tried to create a new page with the source [1] of the content author
checking app I mentioned above?
Also, is your user account able to execute scripts? Have you tried creating a new page
with a simple script to test that?
If your user can not execute the scripts he writes, then you could try enabling the
superadmin [2] account and log in with that one in order to create the content author
checking app page (with the mentioned source code).
We are at a debugging step here, since we can not reproduce what you describe, from the
information you are giving us. I ran an upgrade of a clean 7.1.2 instance to a 7.2
version, through the Distribution Wizard without issues, so my conclusion is that there is
a problem with your particular instance's state, probably due to some incomplete
upgrade steps.
Since you are the only one with access to your instances, we need more information of what
is going on to find out what went wrong. Alternatively, you could also re-attempt the
upgrade and making sure that, while resolving any conflicts during the Distribution
Wizard's upgrade step, you include/merge the changes coming from the 7.2 version of
the conflicting documents.
Re things like "$services.localization.render..." there could be 2 causes
here:
1) Missing xwiki-platform-localization-(script/api/etc.)-7.2.jar files in your
webapps/xwiki/WEB-INF/lib installation folder (maybe due to an improper war upgrade
[3]?)
2) Missing 'admin.xwiki.installedextensions' translation, but that is unlikely
since it is located in ApplicationResources.properties which is located in
xwiki-platform-oldcore-7.2.jar in your WEB-INF/lib folder, without which your wiki would
not be running.
Hope this helps getting to the bottom of this.

Maybe we are not talking about the same thing. None of

work, that includes the panel scripts, like My Recent Modifications,
Backlinks and Recently Modified. Are you saying that the last Author
of the that page is Author of the panel scripts as well, though those
are shown on every page??? We don't write or create any velocity
scripts - we are only using the ones that came with XWiki or installed via Extensions.
Also, the extension managements pages are broken (I sent that in the
first email that did not go through). Under Extension Manager, Add
Extensions is listed, but is broken (I think, I'm back on 7.1.2 right
now), but the other links all are like this:
$services.localization.render
('admin.xwiki.installedextensions')
Those definitely do no work.

I suppose - those boxes were not checked, but I checked those boxes
manually and it still did not work.
So you are saying that you`ve set the rights of the XWikiAllGroup as
in the screenshot and you still have issues. Have you tried isolating
the problem in a new page? Like creating a new page, writing/adding a
velocity macro (event with some static text content, it does not
matter) and then saving the page to see if it is executed properly and that you get no
error?
How do I figure out what user is the author? How do I change the
author of
a script?
The last author of a script is the same thing as the last content
author of the document in which the script is located. If you have
problems with the scripts inside Main.Welcome (for example), you look
at its "Last modified by" label, under the page title. That will tell
you the user that last modified the page. The gotcha here is that the
script right (just like the programming right) actually checks the
last content author of that page, so the last user that changed the
page's content (not the last user that added a comment for example,
for that saved the page without changes, etc.).
To make it easier, I`ve published this small app [1] that you can
install with the Extension Manager and check the content author and
the status of Programming and Script rights on a particular page.
You need to identify who is the "content author" on the documents that
contain scripts and that fail to work on your setup.
Hope this helps,
Eduard

BTW, this is almost every velocity script.

Hello Keith,
I see 2 possibilities here:
1) Is there any chance that, while you`ve executed the Distribution
Wizard, you might have missed (ignored) the document
XWiki.XWikiPreferences? Or maybe you`ve chosen to keep all your changes?
The point is that you rights configuration (specifically the 'script'
right
section) for the XWikiAllGroup in Administration should look like in
this screenshot [1] (from the 7.2 release notes [2]). The 'script'
right is explicitly given to all users so that the migration/upgrade
behaves as before, until you decide otherwise. Please check that the
rights setup is properly upgraded.
2) The only other case I can think of is that you might have deleted
the user that is set as last content author in (most of) your
documents. If this is the case, then indeed the scripts will not be
able to be executed since the user no longer exists (and thus can
not
own the 'script' right).
To fix this, you could recreate the previously
deleted user and make
sure he has the 'script' right.
Please let us know if that helps.
Thanks,
Eduard

Are you sure you’ve executed the Distribution Wizard? (because by
default we give Script Rights to users).
@Edy: I think we need some additional info in the Release Notes
about
this.
Thanks

I tried to send this once, but it looks like it
did not go through.
I just upgraded from 7.1.2 to 7.2 and now it looks like none of
the
Velocity scripts work. I ended up rolling back to 7.1.2, because
it's unusable in this state.
org.xwiki.rendering.macro.MacroExecutionException: The execution
of the
[velocity] script macro is not allowed. Check the rights of its
last author or the parameters if it's rendered from another script.
