Answer 1

if you want to remember a user pass the third parameter true
if (Auth::attempt(array('email' => $email, 'password' => $password), true))
{
// The user is being remembered...
}
Your code:
public function postSignin() {
$rememberMe = false;
if(Input::has('remember_me')) {
$rememberMe = true;
}
if (Auth::attempt(array('email'=> Input::get('email'), 'password'=> Input::get('password') ), $rememberMe )) {
return Redirect::to('users/dashboard')->with('message', 'You are now logged in!');
} else {
return Redirect::to('users/login')
->with('message', 'Your username/password combination was incorrect')
->withInput();
}
}
