In the Layouts editor #

1. Layouts > Layout mappings > New mapping; Link layout: Full / Article; Priority: 130.
2. Target: Subtree with the site root (node 89), Add target.
3. Condition: Class: NG Article, NG Blog post, News, Add condition.
4. Add mapping.

With templates #

1. The template way is override.ini Match[class_identifier]=ng_article for node/view/full.tpl, as the theme does in extension/sevenx_themes_media/settings/siteaccess/site/override.ini.append.php.

Which to choose #

The class mapping is the backbone of a Layouts site; full view overrides still render what the layout's blocks include.
