So far, we have been working with the gift registry grid, but right now we aren't able to do much more than just getting the list of all the available registries or deleting registries in bulk. We need a way of getting the details of a specific registry; we can map this to the edit controller action.
The edit action will display the registry-specific details and will also allow us to modify the details and status of a registry. We will need to create a few blocks and templates for this action.
In order to view and edit the registry information, we need to implement a form widget block.
