Content below category sub-headings

I come across a very nice feature on a site and was wondering if it be possible if it was available to be implemented onto my forum ?

Picture attached below is what am asking to have. It's the sub category layout on the board.

It's pretty simple using using a custom xenbase template we provide. It'll take a little setup but essentially those are just random links they're linking too.

We added the template: xb_cat_helper to provide extra functionality in the node list. Open that up, if you were to post something like this:

<xen:if is="{$category.node_id} == 3">
<ul class="catSubLinks">
   <li><a href="#">Random Link #1</a></li>
   <li><a href="#">Random Link #2</a></li>
   <li><a href="#">Random Link #3</a></li>
</ul>
<xen:elseif is="{$category.node_id} == 1" />
<ul class="catSubLinks">
   <li><a href="#">Random Link #6</a></li>
   <li><a href="#">Random Link #7</a></li>
   <li><a href="#">Random Link #8</a></li>
</ul>
<xen:elseif is="{$category.node_id} == 8" />
<ul class="catSubLinks">
   <li><a href="#">Random Link #9</a></li>
   <li><a href="#">Random Link #10</a></li>
   <li><a href="#">Random Link #11</a></li>
</ul>
<xen:else />
</xen:if>

Then extra.css:

.catSubLinks li a
{
   display: block;
   padding: 5px 10px;
   text-align: center;
   border: 1px solid @xbSecondaryBorder;
   margin: 3px auto;
   background-color: @xbSecondaryContent;
   border-radius: @xb_borderradiuss;
}

Result would be:

Notice the: {$category.node_id} == 8, 1,3 ect... that represents the category ID itself.

Is it possible to change this thread title in something that we can find again later

Maybe Category Sublinks ore something else.

Good idea, although I'm terrible at naming, I did my best.
