Custom Controller

I am trying to create a custom controller some some visual force code inside of the accounts module. I want the user to be able to save some data that would be stored inside of the !$User table. The tutorial online only shows how to save and access data from Standard Controller. Can any help?

 

Here is my code:

 

<apex:page standardController="Account" extensions="MyController">
<apex:pageBlock title="Please Enter your info">
<apex:form >
<apex:inputField value="{!$User.info}"/> <p/>

<apex:commandButton action="{!save}" value="Save key"/>
</apex:form>
</apex:pageBlock>
</apex:page>

 

public class MyController {

    private final User someuser;
    

#perhaps something in the next two line is incorrect


    public IntellieventsController(ApexPages.StandardController stdController) {
        this.someuser = (User)stdController.getRecord();
    }
}

Probably need a little but more guidance on what you want to save.

For example, if you have a field called "MyInfo__c" on the User object and you want to save to it, you don't need to use a custom controller.

The use case for a custom controller would be save to a different object or perform some other action.

See Here is a concept that whatever Object we use in StandardController we we use same in Constructor part like below 

 

public MyController (ApexPages.StandardController stdController) {
      Acc = (Account)stdController.getRecord();
    }

 

so I think of you have any field on Account and if you want to update it  on VF page ( just passing id of Account in URL) then appropriate code should be like below 

 

<apex:page standardController="Account" extensions="MyController">
<apex:pageBlock title="Please Enter your info">
<apex:form >
<apex:inputField value="{!Acc.customField_API_of_Account__C}"/> <p/>

<apex:commandButton action="{!save}" value="Save key"/>
</apex:form>
</apex:pageBlock>
</apex:page>

 

public class MyController {

    private final Accoun Acc;
    

#perhaps something in the next two line is incorrect


    public MyController (ApexPages.StandardController stdController) {
      Acc = (Account)stdController.getRecord();
    }
}
