Hi, currently I'm trying to turn a navbar partial into a snippet and have certain buttons or etc be editable via front-end without much effort and I've set up the snippet and posted it to the content section of my homepage. The pages plugin itself detects the tables I have set up on the partial and the values, but when I try to access them using {{ varName }} it doesn't work the values of the property don't display and I get 0 errors in console. I have tested the snippet itself to see if it does not work by manually setting it in the code itself with {{ varName|default('value') }} and that works fine. I am using menu items along side the snippets but they won't interact in any way aside from being part of the same navbar. I'm unsure if I'm missing something I have been messing around with this for a few days. I'm new to October CMS so I do apologize if I've missed something really small.
My viewbag/snippet code is as follows:
[viewBag]
snippetCode = "navbar"
snippetName = "NavBar"
snippetProperties[telNumber][title] = "varName"
snippetProperties[telNumber][type] = "string"
snippetProperties[telNumber][default] = ""
snippetProperties[telNumber][options][] = ""
snippetProperties[bookLink][title] = "varName"
snippetProperties[bookLink][type] = "string"
snippetProperties[bookLink][default] = ""
snippetProperties[bookLink][options][] = ""
snippetProperties[bookText][title] = "varName"
snippetProperties[bookText][type] = "string"
snippetProperties[bookText][default] = ""
snippetProperties[bookText][options][] = ""Last updated

Can you post code of what you're trying to do?
I can for some of it. This is the partial navbar.htm that I'm turning into a snippet and I'm unsure if I'm calling the navbar/variables correctly as I'm unable to get the vars to display where as the navbar I'm calling as a partial still.

Please overlook the poor coding skills.. still got so much to learn haha. I do appreciate the help!
@Johnathan Could you post up the code of the static page for the particular page that you inserted the snippet into - it should be in the theme folder under content/static-pages. You can strip out any surrounding content if it's proprietary.

@BennoThommo Will do so now. Had to remove a large chunk of it. Will post the home-template now as well.

This is the home-template.htm file in my layouts. For brevity I also removed most of the body so you could see the two sections I'm using which include the header and footer.
