It was on Youtube I discovered Dolphin. I'd never heard of it before and the promotion video knocked me off. Was this real?
I've been searching for a new platform for our local news sites that we've run for three years on basic Wordpress installs. Our problem with our hyperlocal news site is the kack of user interactivity. We produce news every day but our users only have the post comment section to meet with us and all others. This has to change. But how can I use Dolphin for this, is the question.
The coming days of investigation will tell.
Below is the legacy version of the Boonex site, maintained for Dolphin.Pro 7.x support.
The new Dolphin solution is powered by UNA Community Management System.

It sounds interesting with the mods you're suggesting. I find the Boonex Market a bit difficult to search but I'll dig into it right away.
We like to offer our advertisers new options such as designed groups as well.
In general, a CMS + web app suite with modules available out of the box, that you can then trim down to your needs, is a far better pick than doing a hunt-and-plug-in rally across the internets. Good luck for the hunt!
I still think Boonex is miles ahead with some solid functionallity but it seems to be a slow moving giant with a very strange system for support and app development.
When looking at mod prices for relatively small functions this can be a very expensive road to take if you're not programming yourself.
If you search for a cms better get a cms i think (Dolphin is Jack of all trades but master of none for now). Unless you are thinking for the future mutation of your cms towards a more dating/flirting approach.
