In the Layouts editor #

1. Open Layouts > Layouts and the layout Full / Article; the editor opens it in a draft.
2. Open the block palette (+ at the top left) and drag Full view (group Placeholders) into the zone main. Place it where the article should appear.
3. Add other blocks before or after it.
4. Publish layout. The pages that use the layout show the block on their next view.

The Fit & Healthy article layouts use template blocks for the parts of the article (header, image, body); the Full view block is the one-block way.

With templates #

1. The full view itself is a template: the theme maps each class with override.ini (for example node/view/full#ng_article to node/view/full/full_ng_article.tpl).

Which to choose #

Layouts decide what surrounds the content; the full view template decides how the content looks.

Check #

• The article appears once, where the block is.
