The main problems I have out of the box are:

1)
The slider 'parent' node has a title and date, and the sliding nodes also have titles and dates, so it looks like a 'page within a page'. What I want is for the slider node to have nothing on it, so that it looks like the sliding nodes *is* the page itself. How do I get rid of the title on the slider 'parent' node?

2)
There are no tabs, like in the demo. They are displayed as a vertical, bullet list.
How do I get tabs, like in the demo?

3)
The module page says "There is a preprocess() function and template file for control over the HTML output. You can modify or override the included CSS or jQuery code, to change delays, size, etc." I have no idea what that means. I want to try to get it to look like the demo. Can you point me in the right direction please?

Thank you very much for your help.

Regarding Items 1) and 3):

The preprocess function can be found in the module code. What you can do with a preprocess function is make a copy of the function and put it in the template.php file of your theme. You would then rename the function from "template_preprocess_slider" to "whateverthemename_preprocess_slider" where "whateverthemename" is the name of your theme.

Then you can modify your copy of the function in order to control the output. In your case, you could modify the line:

$slide_node_view = node_view($slide_node, FALSE, TRUE, FALSE);

to something like:

$slide_node_view = node_view($slide_node, FALSE, FALSE, FALSE);

in order to change to node so it is not shown as a page. There is a complete reference to the node_view function here:

Regarding #2:

Not sure what would be causing this, perhaps your style sheet is hiding these? I'm working with the development version, perhaps try that and see if you still have problems.
