Rebuilding "Categories/Boards" List - any custom components or starter code?

You can do it easily. You can follow below steps

1. Get all boards 

<#assign boardList=liql("select id,messages.count(*),view_href,title,conversation_style,description from boards where parent_category.id='${coreNode.id}' order by position asc").data.items />​

• List down those boards 

<#list boardList as board>
<@boardsListGenrator board=board />
</#list>​

• If do not want to use the macro, directly right your code inside list show the required data for boards 

<#list boardList as board>
<p>${board.title}</p>
</#list>​

• If you want to show the Topics count instead of post, use this query

SELECT count(*) from messages where board.id='BOARD_ID' and depth=0​

• By defualt you can get the minified date using "user_friendly" selectror. If does not exist, use below code

${post_time?string["yyyy-MM-dd"]}
