data

I'm vaguely competent in Drupal basics but I keep hitting a bit of a wall. I'm building a site that would allow people to log in, set themselves up as a provider or a consumer (so to speak), and fill in details about who they are or what they need. Then the site could suggest to the consumers what providers are in their area and might meet their needs. I'd also like to allow for commenting on providers and consumers and rating them.

I hope this isn't too vague, but that's the gist.

Hallo, liebe Gemeinschaft,

Is anyone aware of a module that would allow creation of widgets with multiple sub-fields?

Say you have a custom XML feed that contains a set of main records, e.g. store name. Then say each store can have an optional set of special offers, which has half a dozen fields (title, price, etc) - rather than setting up yet another content type and doing a messy add/remove for nodes and node references each time, it'd be much cleaner if I could just use one field with nested data. Are there any modules with a nifty UI for doing this, or do I ultimately need to create a some widgets to do it?
