network widget error (solved)

enzyme · 2015-09-06 06:09:18

im trying to setup a network widget using the awesome.naquadwhatever page https://awesome.naquadah.org/wiki/Gigamo_Wifi_Widget
and i come across this error. I tried using the edited version at the bottom of the page and it gave me another error about awk i dont remember its not important.

so the error im getting is:
/home/user/.config/awesome/rc.lua:126 '}' expected (to close '{' at line 123) near 'function'

ive looked around maybe i didnt use the right keywords when searching and the stuff that might have helped me maybe i didnt know how to read haha im still really new at this but im doing my best to teach myself and learn

ok so heres my rc.lua

so my question is what might i be doing wrong or can you direct me to a page that is actually readable?
