Here's the way that worked for me:
In your register() function replace the setFlash with
$this->User->invalidate('captcha','Incorrect captcha code entered');
Then in your view add
<?php echo $form->error('User.captcha');
Remember to do a $this->render(); if you catch an error...
Hope that helps.
PS - this is my first post to this group, so please be gentle if there
is a better way of doing this!
