Hey, Personally I wouldn't even consider writing my own filemanager (whatever you call it) unless I'd have some pretty specific requirements or license to abide to. I've implemented the MoxieCode FileManager (not free but cheap, and very well integrated with free tinyMCE) before and I know there are other good ones out there (the one you mentioned seems nice too). Basically you want file creation, rename, zip/unzip, resize/crop images maybe, move, and so on.
Basically, it's a matter of configuring the manager properly. Most of the work is done in a view. the manager is quite simply iframed. I have however tweaked bits and pieces in the controler in order for the security with the filemanager to be seemless and still strong. I have no clue how that *afb* is secured though. The implementation I'm talking about even have different security groups, so that if the user is in a specific group, I render on configuration, disallowing for instance file deletion. Hope this helps! Seb.
