Paste this func. to the end of the BoardIndex.template file
function template_evil_latest_topics($settings) {
// Topics with header images and ugly text within...
// If this triggers any back-end developer, I won...
require_once('./SSI.php');
$quack = ssi_recentTopics($num_recent = 5, $exclude_boards = null, $include_boards = null, $output_method = 'array');
if (!empty($quack)) {
echo '<div id="topic_container">';
foreach ($quack as $quack_quack) {
$bg_img = $settings['theme_dir'] . '/images/' . $quack_quack['board']['id'] . '.jpg';
echo '
<div class="ph_topic_upper_holder">
<div class="topic_container" ' . (file_exists($bg_img) ? 'style="background-image: url(' . $settings['images_url'] . '/' . $quack_quack['board']['id'] . '.jpg)"' : '') . '>
<div class="ph_flex_end">
<div class="span_posted_board">' . $quack_quack['board']['link'] . '</div>
<div class="span_poster_link">' . $quack_quack['link'] . '</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="poster_container">
<span class="grid_poster_user">
' . $quack_quack['poster']['link'] . '<br>
' . $quack_quack['time'] . '
</span>
</div>
</div>';
}
echo '</div>';
}
}

flex: 1 100%;
align-self: flex-end;
padding: 0 0 5% 5%;

Now you can use template_evil_latest_topics($settings) somewhere you like... inside the BoardIndex.template : )

Remember if something is broken, its not my fault it was working last I checked... if its working good...

oh I forgot to mention, you need to put <board-id>.jpg (don't ask why I coded as JPG, you can always change to PNG) into theme's /images/ folder, otherwise it will show -purplish- background...

Nice. Would tie well into the custom board icons mods out there. Ever fancy to package it up as a mod? Just a couple tweaks.

Probably later, once I'm done with SMF 2.1 / smfCurve (MW Theme) and some other things.
