In my controller content.php is a function called: create_unique_slug.
with the following content:

Code:
public function create_unique_slug($string = 'test')

 {

    $slug = url_title($string);

    $slug = strtolower($slug);

    $i = 0;

    $params = array ();

    $params['page_slug'] = $slug;

    if ($this->input->post('id')) {

        $params['id !='] = $this->input->post('id');

    }

    while ($this->db->where($params)->get('pages')->num_rows()) {

        if (!preg_match ('/-{1}[0-9]+$/', $slug )) {

            $slug .= '-' . ++$i;

        } else {

            $slug = preg_replace ('/[0-9]+$/', ++$i, $slug );

        }

        $params ['page_slug'] = $slug;

        }

    return $slug;

 }

How can i get this return $slug value with jquery?
This doesnt work:

Code:
$.ajax({

  url: './content/create_unique_slug',

  success: function(data) {

    alert(data);

  }

});

I would appreciate your help!

HTML head:

Code:
// Replace the $ with s in script!

&lt;head&gt;

<$cript type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">

    //&lt;![CDATA[

        var base_url = "&lt;?php echo base_url(); ?&gt;";

        var site_url = "&lt;?php echo site_url(); ?&gt;";

    // ]]>

</$cript>

&lt;/head&gt;

Code:
$.ajax({

  url: base_url+'content/create_unique_slug',

  success: function(data) {

    alert(data);

  }

});

need to send some data (the slug you got from the input) to the function in your ajax call. something like.

Code:
var myslug = $('#myinput1').val();

var myvar = $('#myinput2').val();

var postData = {

  'slug' : myslug,

  'somevar' : myvar

};

$.ajax({

  type: 'POST',

  url: base_url+'content/create_unique_slug',

  data: postData,

  success: function(data) {

    alert(data);

  }

});

you will be using $this->input->post(); in this case.

to send them via url you can use

Code:
....

url: base_url+'content/create_unique_slug/' + slug,

....

Thanks, i fixed it with the following code:

Code:
$('.page_title').change(function(){

  var myslug = $(this).val();

  //var myslug = $(this).val($(this).val.replace(' ', '-'));

  //var myslug = $(this).val(function(i, v) {return v.replace(" ","-");}).val();

  var postData = {

    'slug' : myslug

  };  

  $.ajax({

    type: 'POST',

    url: base_url+'content/create_unique_slug',

    data: $('#add_page').serialize(),

    success: function(data) {

      //alert(data);

      $('p.help-block span').empty();

      $('p.help-block').append('<span>'+data+'</span>');

      $('input#slug').val(data);    

      $('p.help-block').fadeIn();    

    }

  });

 });

And in my controller function i echoed the slug
