following are some more options tried :

ward committe (http link – https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzvCHTTn4xINb0RaRURtcV85b2c/edit?usp=sharing) — works

[gview file=”ward-committee.pdf” height=”850px”] – local file works

[gview file=”https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzvCHTTn4xINb0RaRURtcV85b2c/edit?usp=sharing” height=”850px”] — google drive link — not working

[gview file=”https://drive.google.com/uc?id=0BzvCHTTn4xINb0RaRURtcV85b2c&e=download” height=”850px”] — google drive link not working

both options can be good :

a) either first five or user defined
b) or last five or user defined

I’m using the solution posted in the link mentioned by you to show the new-form as part of bp-activity-short-code.
The code from the link is added above the ‘title’ code exactly.
The solution from the post was working fine but without BP AP+ links.
That is when I posted this problem here.
Then i tried your 2 solutions –
(1) first solution works fine
(2) second solution still doesn’t work even after moving the code to above the ‘title’ code (earlier it was above ‘use_compat code and now i shifted to above ‘title’ code).
with my trials, it looks like 2nd solution doesn’t work.
