Hello again, Keith.
Please see point 2) in my first answer to you (
http://markmail.org/message/kiq665kkscfvag43 ) and please offer us the
information Vincent requested at his point 2) (in the reply above) about
the last author ("Last modified by XXXXXX") of one of the documents that is
failing to execute the velocity macro.
Also, remember that Panels, for instances, have their own documents in
which they are located (see https://yoursite.com:port/xwiki/bin/view/Panels/
and pick some that work and some that don`t work, so that we can spot the
difference), so you have to show the last author of *that* document and not
of a document where the panel is used (like in the picture you`ve recently
provided https://www.sugarsync.com/pf/D679848_06124469_052955 ).
Also, regarding your posted picture, you can see there that the last author
of that document (of Main.WebHome) is "Administrator" so most likely
scripts will work there, as you`ve previously confirmed that the
Administrator account you are using has programming rights. You now need to
check the pages that don`t work, as mentioned by Vincent (and myself).
If indeed this is the issue (and most likely it is, since you`ve mentioned
there was a user which is now deleted that did the administrative work in
the past), you have 2 options:
1) (easy but requires minimal coding) Write a quick and small script that
searches for all documents having the deleted user as content author and
resaves them with the Administrator user as last content author, so that
the scripts start working, or...
2) (easiest/quickest solution, no coding) "To fix this, you could recreate
the previously deleted user and make sure he has the 'script' right.". This
way no further action should be needed on the problematic documents since
they will simply start working since their last content author is now a
valid user again.
Thanks,
Eduard

I still think we are not on the same page - this is for almost every
script,
including all the "panel" scripts (Recent Modifications, etc...).
These panels are used on every single page and I've tried saving pages to
fix this, but it does not work. Strange, there is one that is working,
Orphaned Pages.
Remember I was just replying to your **specific** question:
"I installed Xwiki originally, but a user that is no longer here (and the
user has been deleted) has done most of the upgrades for some time. Is it
possible that because his account is missing, there are no rights to these
scripts?”
And my answer was yes and that the solution for this was to resave the
pages he has last modified and that contained some script.
Now regarding your problem, I haven’t been following this thread closely
but it should be very easy to diagnose:
1) What error do you get when you click on the error in a panel?
2) If the error is about Script rights, then, when you navigate to the
panel page and check the last author who is it? Is that author existing in
your wiki and does it have script rights?
Thanks

Here is a screenshot:
https://www.sugarsync.com/pf/D679848_06124469_052955
How do I re-save these? Also, I can't update or add / remove extensions
because of this issue. Really, the whole system is unusable in this state.

You could save the concerned pages with a user having Script permissions
(you
could script this if there are plenty of pages).
Re localization error, maybe they’re executed inside velocity scripts
too and
these pages also need to be saved by a user with script rights.
Thanks

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.

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.

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
