Website Integration

I am currently running multiple scripts on my site including Auctions, Blogs, Forums, Chat, Photo Rating, Match Making, Arcade & Photo Swaping. They are all integrated by a member management script which controls signups, billing & logins. What I am trying to accomplish is more of an integrated feel. The site currently feels as though you are traveling from one site to the next. The solution that I am looking for is a centralized member control panel that will allow members a quick glance at thie activities in each of the areas along with links to each area. An example would be, on the member control panel a list of maybe the 5 recently listed auctions with thumb, 5 random members with thumbs. Links would be basically have a side bar menu with links to edit/visit photo rating area, edit/visit blog, edit/visit match maker & so on. Example, I would like to give them the feel as thought they are in the same site by possibly allowing them to post new auctions from their control panel without the feel of leaving the control panel possibly through include statements or something. Although visitors would still see each of the areas of the site as seperate full sites. I am really looking for suggestions here on ways to tie all this closer together for the members & I am open for professional suggestions. An example of how I would like the member control panel to be would be similar to [login to view URL]'s member control panel. ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables): a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment. b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law.
