Do you need FileMaker Server (software) to display a database on a website? Trying to pull data from hosted FileMaker database and have it displayed in real time on an existing page of website.
More specifically does Custom Web Publishing only exist in FileMaker Server and not pro?

In real time, yes. Otherwise you could export periodically to the web.

Server
Yes.
However, as I already mentioned in a comment to your previous question, you can use the FileMakerPro (client) application to interact directly with a MySQL database.

If you download a Tableau Public dashboard, you'll get access to the datasets that where use to make it.
I believe it is the same for Tableau Desktop dashboards.
Which leads me to : are Tableau Desktop documents, stored on a Tableau Server, downloadable by anyone with access to that link ?
I would like to publish a Tableau Desktop dashboard on a Tableau Server so I can put it on a website yet I don't want the viewers to be able to download the dashboard. Knowing this will likely determine whether or not I buy Tableau Server.
Short answer is yes, people who have access to download (which you set in the user or group permissions) will be able to see whatever data it is connected to. If it is connected to a database such as SQL the user would be prompted to enter credentials that are allowed to connect to that database. If the data is in the form of an excel document then it would just be available with the download.
It sounds to me all you really need is to just limit the users from having download access, which is changed in the user/group settings. Just let them "view only".
Hope that helps!
To add to the answer above:
Not only in Tableau Server can you restrict users from downloading your data, also in Tableau Public. Under 'Edit details' of your dashboard, you will find a checkbox for "Allow workbook and its data to be downloaded by others". If you uncheck this, viewers will not be able to download the workbook or it's underlying data.
To add to your real intentions with this question: As far as I understand your question, you want to use Tableau Server to present you data on a website. Is this website meant for everyone to be accessible without signing in to Tableau Server? If so, then this will not be possible with a regular Tableau Server license, only with the (very expensive) core license.
See the explanation on Tableau's website about embedded views: Embedded views
A developer had created dashboard and successfully published to tableau server for auto refresh extract every day, Developer had data and DB access at that time.
Now the same developer's access for DB is removed, is it possible to get fresh data to reports everyday? will the extract have new data everyday ?
Not unless you update the database credentials published with the data source to be something that the database accepts
You typically want some sort of service account for this purpose - so that the published dashboards still work when the original publisher leaves
We have deployed a tableau server on a Remote Desktop in an offline mode. Now when the business is trying to access the tableau they get a message that only 2 users can sign in at the same time.
We have more than 50 users who need to access the reports and more than 2-4 need to login simultaneously. What are the option we have.
As this is an offline mode deployment, can we give them some URL or anything else they can access the reports from.
The website and ip we had shared had to be white-listed and added to the safe sites by the IT group policy.
Adding answer as someone may also come across the same scenario.
I'm trying to find a way to detect the creation date of a webpage from its server. As for example when was this page wwww.Amazon.com/fghhggg created? Is there a way to find it and automate it? Thank you for the clues
In general, the answer is no. Occasionally you'll see a web page that returns this information in the headers, but for a site where the pages are generated from information in the database (like Amazon, or most other sites on the internet), asking for the "creation date" doesn't really make sense.
For example, imagine you're looking up product X on Amazon. Amazon's servers retrieve information from the database, put together an HTML document, and return it to you. What would the "creation date" be? The page didn't exist 5 seconds ago - it was just assembled for you - and it doesn't exist now that it's been sent to you. If you're looking for when the product was added to Amazon's database, that information might be available via Amazon's API.
I have an existing chat and profile website with 250k of active users. The users have profiles and so on. Currently, I made the chat myself with ajax, but I'm moving on to the XMPP protocol.
For this I installed Openfire and got it working with a js client framework strophejs, I made a simple test client and all works fine.
What I don't know is how to, for example, add a picture or a profile to an openfire user. When I get a 'presence' update from the server I only get the username/email. I want to extend the user with a profile from my own db, or migrate my exisitng db to openfire's db, but then where do I put the profile data?
Could anyone give me some pointers here?
Thanks,
Elger
just use the vCard for storing profile information and the picture (XEP-0054) http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0054.html . Further information you can find in this book (Chapter 4): http://shop.oreilly.com/product/9780596521271.do .
