you can do most of this without any other helpers or changes to the
core code.
function beforeValidate() {
$this->invalidate('username_taken');
return false ;
}
the in your view
$html->tagErrorMsg('User/username_taken', 'This username is already
taken. Please choose another');
Then you can use validates and save as normal.
