Slider?

I am adding a solution to use a bxslider for the latest three releases for a block with an id equal to ‘frontpage’.

1. Load needed script and style in your function.php:

add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', function() {
    wp_enqueue_script('bxscript', 'https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/bxslider/4.2.15/jquery.bxslider.min.js', array ('jquery'), 1.1, true);
    wp_enqueue_style('bxslider', 'https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/bxslider/4.2.15/jquery.bxslider.min.css');
});

2. Override the template/cision-block.php template to render a block differently then others:

<?php if (count($cision_feed)) : ?>
<?php if ($id === 'frontpage'): ?>
    <ul class="bxslider">
        <?php foreach ($cision_feed as $item): ?>
            <li>
                <h2><?php echo esc_html($item->Title); ?></h2>
                <time><?php echo date($options['date_format'], $item->PublishDate); ?></time>
                <p>
                    <?php if (isset($item->Images[0])) : ?>
                    <span class="cision-feed-item-media">
                        <img
                                src="<?php echo esc_url($item->Images[0]->DownloadUrl); ?>"
                                alt="<?php echo esc_html($item->Images[0]->Description); ?>"
                                title="<?php echo esc_html($item->Images[0]->Title); ?>"
                        />
                    </span>
                    <?php endif; ?>
                    <?php echo wp_trim_words(esc_html($item->Intro ? $item->Intro : $item->Body)); ?>
                </p>
                <?php if (isset($item->CisionWireUrl, $readmore)) : ?>
                    <a
                            href="<?php echo esc_url($item->CisionWireUrl); ?>"
                            target="<?php echo $item->LinkTarget; ?>"
                    ><?php _e($readmore, CISION_BLOCK_TEXTDOMAIN); ?></a>
                <?php endif; ?>
            </li>
        <?php endforeach; ?>
    </ul>

    <script>
        jQuery(document).ready(function() {
            jQuery('.bxslider').bxSlider({});
        });
    </script>
<?php else: ?>
<section<?php echo $wrapper_attributes; ?>>
<?php echo $prefix; ?>
    <?php foreach ($cision_feed as $item) : ?>
    <article<?php echo $attributes; ?>>
        <h2><?php echo esc_html($item->Title); ?></h2>
        <time><?php echo date($options['date_format'], $item->PublishDate); ?></time>
        <p>
        <?php if (isset($item->Images[0])) : ?>
        <span class="cision-feed-item-media">
        <img
                src="<?php echo esc_url($item->Images[0]->DownloadUrl); ?>"
                alt="<?php echo esc_html($item->Images[0]->Description); ?>"
                title="<?php echo esc_html($item->Images[0]->Title); ?>"
        />
        </span>
        <?php endif; ?>
        <?php echo wp_trim_words(esc_html($item->Intro ? $item->Intro : $item->Body)); ?>
        </p>
        <?php if (isset($item->CisionWireUrl, $readmore)) : ?>
        <a
                href="<?php echo esc_url($item->CisionWireUrl); ?>"
                target="<?php echo $item->LinkTarget; ?>"
        ><?php _e($readmore, CISION_BLOCK_TEXTDOMAIN); ?></a>
        <?php endif; ?>
    </article>
    <?php endforeach; ?>
<?php echo $pager; ?>
<?php echo $suffix; ?>
</section>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endif; ?>

3. Add shortcode in the start page of your theme:

echo do_shortcode('[cision-block id=frontpage items_per_page=0 count=3]');

Notice that you need to set items_per_page=0 to avoid using a pager.
