    You should actually be able to do this using standard components. If you go into Studio and edit your category page, you can add the following components via the XML tab:

    <component id="forums.widget.recent-messages" interactionStyle="blog"/>
<component id="forums.widget.recent-messages" interactionStyle="forum"/>
<component id="forums.widget.recent-messages" interactionStyle="idea"/>

    In this example, the "interactionStyle" parameter is controlling the type of messages shown in the component. So the first component will only show blog posts, the second will show only forum posts, and the third will show only idea posts.

     

    If this doesn't meet your needs, let me know and I can point you towards some information on creating a custom component.
