function slugify($text) {
$slug = low(Inflector::slug($text, ‘-’));
$slugs = $this->find(’all’, array(
‘fields’ => array(’slug’),
‘conditions’ => array(’slug LIKE’ => ‘%’ . $slug),
));
if ($slugs) {
$slugs = Set::extract($slugs, “/{$this->alias}/slug”);
// loop through $slugs while incrementing $i to see if current($slugs) === “$slug-$i”, returning the new value of $slug when they’re not equal.
} else {
return $slug;
}
}

I didn't realise it could be so automagic :) However i did have to include a return true; in the beforeSave call. Also extended it to test if a custom slug has been included! Thanks again!
