In letsforum we see there is a checkbox before posting a thread
How to implement it ?
I know there is a plugin for checkbox validation but i want to get something similar to letsforum
Hoping for an answer

Well it easy man you just need to disable the input field then add a JavaScript checkbox so that when the checkbox is checked the input field gets enabled.

You can try this:
First backup your newthread template
Open your newthread template, somewhere in the template add this code:

PHP Code:
<script>
function enable_text(status) {
    status = (status) ? false : true; 
    document.form1.other_name.disabled = status;
}
</script> 

Add this code to where you want your checkbox to show

PHP Code:
<tr>
<td class="trow2" width="20%"><strong>YOUR TEXT HERE</strong></td>
<td class="trow2"><input type="checkbox" name="others" onclick="enable_text(this.checked, 'mycheckbox')"/>SOME MORE TEXT</td>
</tr> 

Now find:

PHP Code:
<input type="text" class="textbox" name="subject" size="40" maxlength="85" value="" tabindex="1" /></td> 

And add to it id="mycheckbox" disabled="disabled" it should look like this:

PHP Code:
<input id="mycheckbox" disabled="disabled" type="text" class="textbox" name="subject" size="40" maxlength="85" value="" tabindex="1" /></td>

Sorry for such a late reply I was away from home.
You don't need a plugin for this, just as Victor mentioned above you need to disable the input field then add a checkbox to enable it, let me show you how you can do it!

Open your newthread template which is in ACP >> Templates & Style >> Templates >> Your Template >> New Thread Templates >> newthread
Above </head> add this code or similar one:

PHP Code:
<script type="text/javascript">

  function enableText(checkBool, textID)
  {
    textFldObj = document.getElementById(textID);
    textFldObj.disabled = !checkBool;
    if (!checkBool) { textFldObj.value = ''; }
  }

</script> 

Find {$loginbox} and after it add this code or similar one:

PHP Code:
<tr>
<td class="trow2" width="20%"><strong>some text</strong></td>
<td class="trow2"><input id="myCheckBox" type="checkbox" onclick="enableText(this.checked, 'myTextArea');"/>some text</td>
</tr> 

Now find this code:

PHP Code:
<tr>
<td class="trow2" width="20%"><strong>{$lang->thread_subject}</strong></td>
<td class="trow2">{$prefixselect}<input type="text" class="textbox" name="subject" size="40" maxlength="85" value="{$subject}" tabindex="1" /></td>
</tr> 

And replace it with this one:

PHP Code:
<tr>
<td class="trow2" width="20%"><strong>{$lang->thread_subject}</strong></td>
<td class="trow2">{$prefixselect}<input id="myTextArea" type="text" disabled="disabled" class="textbox" name="subject" size="40" maxlength="85" value="{$subject}" tabindex="1" /></td>
</tr> 

And that is it, I used Victor JavaScript but you can use your own if you wish!!!!

I am not an expert here but it looks like you both made a mistake here, you posted disabled="disabled but it should be disabled="disabled" Smile

You can use this method to enable input filed or text field with checkbox
PHP Code:
<html>
<head>
</head>
  <body>
<input type="checkbox" onclick="document.getElementById('directory_entry_name').disabled=!this.checked;" id="directory_entry" />
<input type="text" id="directory_entry_name" disabled="disabled" />
   </body>​​​​
</html>

There is a bug with this, if we preview the post after writing subject and message then the checkbox doesn't stay
Can you give a solution on this ?

It's better this way because spammers might use preview post to bypass this checkbox !

That is correct spambots will use it to bypass this feature so just leave it the way it is!
