In the [last episode](http://watch-learn.com/video-tutorials/making-websites-october-cms-part-23-extending-user-plugin) we added two new fields to User plugin for October CMS. Now our users can add their biography and links to facebook page to their profile. But only on the backend, which actually means they can't add it because our users can't access the backend. So that in turn means we have a problem on our hands.

The solution to this problem is acctually easy, add those fields to the frontend and figure out a way to save them. Because as you will see, in this episode we are going to have to extend the User model also, so that we can save those fields. But since this is October CMS this should not be difficult.

In this episode I'm going to show you how to add and save your newly added fields for October CMS user plugin on the frontend of your site.

Extending User Plugin - Frontend

Now that we know [how to work with user plugin](http://watch-learn.com/video-tutorials/making-websites-with-october-cms-part-21-users) we can extend it to save a bit more information about our users.

We are going to add facebook and biography fields to our users. To do that we are going to have to get at least a little bit familiar with [Laravel migrations](https://laravel.com/docs/5.3/migrations) to add those two fields to our database. Once that is done we will use `extendFormFields` function to add new fields to the form on the backend.

In this episode we are going to extend User plugin for October CMS with two additional fields.
