[Phpwebsite-developers] Multiple Manager/Item classes

[Colin W. <co...@mu...>]

I am attempting to develop a module for producing ranking tables for fencers 
within our region (I am trying to make it generic, so it can be used for 
other sports).

The initial part is fairly easy, we have multiple ranking tables (divided by 
gender, age group and weapons), so it is a fairly obvious decision to 
implement as a table manager/table using the manager/item design pattern.

However, where I go after that is bemusing me. Each table is a manager in its 
own right, since it contains the details of each fencer's results. I am 
uncertain as to how to link the table manager/table to a ranking 
manager/rankings pair. My initial thought was to get the table Item to 
instantiate the ranking manager, but I can't get this to work. Looking at the 
rssfeeds modules I wonder whether I should be using setClass(), but again I 
am not sure whether this should be used in the table manager or the table 
class.

Any hints or advice would be gratefully welcomed.
