Problem:
The user would like to use the form name instead of the form id in his custom code hooks. This is useful if we export/import forms to other websites as they will get different ids.

Solution:
Toolset forms are saved as posts for an internal custom post type "cred-form". You can use regular WordPress functions to get the name of the form from the id:

$form = get_post( $form_id );
$form_name = $form->post_title;

You can build a function that will return the name of the form from the form_id and use it inside your hooks:

if ( get_form_name( $form_data['id'] ) == 'My Form Name' )

Problem: I would like to use the cred_form_validate hook to apply an error on the post title under certain circumstances, but it does not seem to work.

Solution: Check the syntax and be sure the fields and values are referenced using the proper keys.

'name' => $fields['post_title']['value'],
...
$errors['post_title']='This Serial Number is already on file';
