Two questions.
1. Does this work with 3.7.x?
2. What's the right syntax to make $text the combination of three variables? I have this right now:

if ($post[field11] && $post[field12])
{
require_once(DIR . '/includes/class_bbcode.php');
$parser =& new vB_BbCodeParser($vbulletin, fetch_tag_list());
$parsed_text = $parser->do_parse($text, $do_html, $do_smilies, $do_bbcode, $do_imgcode, $do_nl2br, $cachable);  

$text = $post[field11].$message.$post[field12];
}

And in the postbit template, I intend to use a conditional to replace $message with $parsed_text if both fields are filled in. However, the message comes up as blank. I checked the source code and came up with just the start of the post div. I'm guessing it's because my syntax is wrong; specifically

$post[field11].$message.$post[field12]
