    This looks like you have tried to add something to the css versus a definition file or you are using css comments to comment out php. Can you post the file you are changing and perhaps let us know which template this is based on.
    Additionally, thanks for the pointer on the options, but I have to leave it where the customer can make their choices. The drop down boxes are there to allow them to choose from the hundreds of different options available. On my other site, it's rare that a customer neglects to make their choices...perhaps one out of a hundred will forget to make a selection. I have found when I have to rely on them to email with their choices, there are typically numerous messages back & forth before they actually provide all of the necessary information. This system has worked beautifully on my other site.
    Perhaps you misunderstood. There would be no change in anything other than clicking on the Display Only button for the Please Select Options. I would think that you would want personalized items to be "spot on" to avoid added waste. Rule of thumb - If you need to know it to make it: They should be required to tell you their choice.

    OK, I will have to work on the options thing when I can figure out how to do that. I know almost nothing about how to customize things like that.

    I am using the Brighton Pets template on version 1.5.1. Here is the file in question:

    Those are defines for something other than the content in the dropdown.

    You need to look at includes/temolates/brighton_pets/common/tpl_mega_menu.php. It all starts around line 222 in the original version that comes with the template.
    PHP Code:
    <li class="hfacebook">
    <a href="<?php echo FACEBOOK?>" target="_blank">
    <img src="<?php  echo $template->get_template_dir('',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE$current_page_base,'images').'/'.FACEBOOK_ICON ?>"  alt="facebook link" class="h-sm" />
    <?php echo FACEBOOK_TEXT?>
    </a>
    </li>
    I have broken out the single line entry to show the separate parts. You will need to find the defines for each of the items in BOLD.

    NOTE: You should have found this file in your search for hfacebook (It's in the first line of the portion).

    HINT: Defines are in a footer file so you may have to make one FACEBOOK_ICON and the other FACEBOOK_ICON_SMALL.

    Yes, I found that file, too, but I was looking and looking in it for the image it's linking to now. I couldn't find anything, so I thought I had the wrong file. Sorry to be so dense here. I really am not qualified to be doing this!

    One last benefit of firebug.

    1. Download a copy of the stylesheet_mega_menu.css from your site saving it to your desktop.
    2. Open the file in an editor like notepad or notepad+
    3. Around line 22 there should be a call of .mega-menu .dropdown_1column {width: 145px;}
    4. Change the 145 to 200.
    5. Around line 71 there should be a call of .mega-menu .levels li {float: left;width: 150px;}
    6. Change the 150 to 200
    7. Around line 69 there should be a call of .mega-menu .levels a {display: block;width: 10em;font-weight:normal;}
    8. Change this to .mega-menu .levels a {display: block;font-weight:normal;}
    9. Save the file as stylesheet_mega_menu.new to your desktop.
    10. Rename the stylesheet_mega_menu.css on your desktop to stylesheet_mega_menu.old.
    11. Rename the stylesheet_mega_menu.new on your desktop to stylesheet_mega_menu.css.
    12. Upload the renamed stylesheet_mega_menu.csss to your server replacing the original.


    What this does is remove the wrap that is now in the Connect dropdown with the Facebook link. If, for some reason it doesn't work, just rename and load the .old version to your server. No harm, no foul.
