Is there any way of publishing at a certain date/time and repeat?
For example, weekly and/or monthly?
Please take a look at an attached jpeg.

How long would would the content stay "published" for before it was removed (so it could be published again)? Or are you trying to create an event calendar?
Let me know and I'll try to help. Thanks!

Thank you for your reply.
Yes. That's the word I was looking for -- Event Calendar!
But I will ask my client for the detail.

Here is the answer for my previous post.
All created contents should stay published, in other words, I am looking for a way to auto-create contents (new record) in certain time frames. -- I am guessing this is called an event calendar.

What kind of content are they publishing? If they just want to be able to write it in advance and have it publish at a certain times there are some features for that here:
http://www.interactivetools.com/docs/cmsbuilder/special_fieldnames.html
See the special fieldnames: publishDate, removeDate, and neverRemove
These let you queue up news releases in advance to be published automatically at a set date.
Would this work?

They already have these functions.
What they are looking for is a repeat function.
For example, publishing the same contents on every tuesday at 8am.

Ok, I understand. There's no easy way to do that without custom code.
I think the best way would be to create the code that displays the calendar (whether that is a list or a grid view), then load all the events and for each calendar day loop through the events and show the event for that day.
So no easy solution, unfortunately. I'll ask around the office and post back if anyone has any pre-written code that does this.
Hope that helps!

Thank you for your effort.
I am not sure if the calendar fulfill my client's need.
They are looking for specific style. Please see an attached image in my first post.
I understand if it cost any, please send an estimate.

We could give you an estimate or more tips. But first, do you have any information or mockups of what the output should look like? Either the viewer pages or anything else?
You can post here or email me direct at dave@interactivetools.com.
Thanks!
