This function will help us out by adding the form data into the current instance of
the registry object, which means we need to create one inside our controller. Let's put
the code for our controller together:
The file location is app/code/local/Mdg/Giftregistry/controllers/
IndexController.php. Refer to the following code snippet:
public function newPostAction()
{
try {
$data = $this->getRequest()->getParams();
$registry = Mage::getModel('mdg_giftregistry/entity');
$customer = Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')-
>getCustomer();
if($this->getRequest()->getPost() && !empty($data)) {
$registry->updateRegistryData($customer, $data);
$registry->save();
$successMessage = Mage::helper('mdg_giftregistry')->__
('Registry Successfully Created');
Mage::getSingleton('core/session')-
>addSuccess($successMessage);
}else{
throw new Exception("Insufficient Data provided");
}
} catch (Mage_Core_Exception $e) {
Mage::getSingleton('core/session')->addError($e-
>getMessage());
$this->_redirect('*/*/');
}
$this->_redirect('*/*/');
}
We have created a very basic controller action that will handle the registry creation
and that will handle most of the possible exceptions.
