Cookie Overflow with Publicly Submitted Model

[greeneca]

I have a rather large html form that is generating models using the public submission feature. it was working fine in small scale but as soon as I scaled the form and model up to full size I receive a Cookie Overflow error on submit.

ActionDispatch::Cookies::CookieOverflow in Locomotive::Public::ContentEntriesController#create

Following are the Framework Trace and Request parameters:

hey @greeneca, that's a huge form you've built ! Let me think about a clean solution to handle huge form like yours. thanks

[greeneca]

sorry I forgot but I managed to fix it. What I did was to change the session store to use :mongoid_store and added :

module ActionDispatch
  module Session
    class MongoidStore < AbstractStore
      def destroy_session(env, sid, options)
        self.send(:destroy, env)
        generate_sid unless options[:drop]
      end
    end
  end
end

to config/initializers/session_store.rb

Just ran into this one myself. Thanks for posting your solution--trying to get it to run as a non-ruby person.
