   I really don't know how it could be done but you should be looking for a function with which you can return the current forum category, match it with something you want and then selectively display content as per it.
   like :

   for each topics
   |
   ----check category
   |
   ----if music then music list
   ----else if code then code list
   ----else if network then network list

   Hope that helps. :)
