but this wont work for me.
class InformationController extends Controller
{
public function actionIndex($slug)
{
CVarDumper::dump($slug,10,true);
exit;

Answer 1

Your question is unclear. You may mean either of the following:
Url:
example.com/information/london
example.com/information/singapore
Rule:
'information/<slug>' => 'information/index',
Controller:
public function actionIndex($slug)
{
$slug = "jobs-in-".$slug;
var_dump($slug);
}
Slug Result:
jobs-in-london
jobs-in-singapore
Url:
example.com/information/jobs-in-london
example.com/information/jobs-in-singapore
Rule:
'information/<slug:jobs-in-.+>' => 'information/index',
Controller:
public function actionIndex($slug)
{
var_dump($slug);
}
Slug Result:
jobs-in-london
jobs-in-singapore

Here is what you will exactly have to do in the routes:
'<controller:(information)>/<slug:>' => '<controller>/index'
and here is how to add the slug while you're creating the URL:
Yii::app()->createUrl('information/index', array('slug' => 'jobs-in-london'));
and to check what the slug is, what you did to the function is correct.
