BEFORE YOU FILE: Are you using the latest version of the CCTM?  Please
check http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-content-type-manager/

What functionality do you want to see?

======================
Would it be possible to change the existing load of wp-load.php from:

require_once('../../../../wp-load.php');

to:

require_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/wp-load.php');

Or, maybe change the functionality ala 
http://ottopress.com/2010/dont-include-wp-load-please/

We don't have wp-load.php in the specific directory you have and would like to 
try the plugin out.

Thanks!
Tony

The problem really is that WP doesn't provide a config var for the install path 
(*facepalm*).  Unfortunately you can't base the include off of 
$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] because WP might be installed in a sub-directory.

The workaround in that link doesn't actually handle this particular use case of 
needing ajax controllers (and it ignore's WP's unforgivable stupidity here).  

If you want to try out the plugin, just edit the path.
