Overview

Provides a ctools content type for bean module, allowing placement in panels.

Features

Loose coupling, enter your bean delta - the delta need not exist. If the delta does not exist and permissions are sufficient presents a link to add the bean.

Pure separation from content and configuration - your panel is tied to a bean delta but the content does not have to exist.

Requests in the issue queue have seen a slight change to this - Since 7.x-1.2 the delta has to exist on the source site - and you can select it from a list to save you having to look up the deltas - when deployed to another site (eg using ctools exportable/features) the delta need not exist on the production site.
