For example, if there was an added table called more_userinfo in the database and I wanted to use all fields from it in postbit, I might use this plugin code:

$hook_query_fields .= ', more_userinfo.* ';
$hook_query_joins .= ' LEFT JOIN more_userinfo ON (more_userinfo.userid = user.userid) ';

then the fields from more_userinfo that correspond to the post author should be available in the postbit as {vb:raw post.fieldname}.

That's exactly what I was looking for, thank you
