I tried Dolphin for a good while, it is possible to hack it into shape.
However I wouldn't use it on a site with more then 1000 members.
It's layer upon layer of hacks to make it all stick together, they released a
new version that is meant to be better but really I just think they hid the
problems by putting cache on it.
Generally it's a dodgy product that was so shit that the company decided to
release it as open source to try and get it fixed. However no serious
developers really got onto it as after a month or 2 of digging you realise it's
irredeemable.
Joomla with Community Builder is a better bet.
