- you need to edit one or more g2 theme templates (.tpl files), changing the owner string to be a link.
- g2 when embedded in drupal has access to drupal's API since drupal is always started first and then it calls G2 within drupal.
- i guess the owner strings in g2 come from the ItemInfo block. edit modules/core/templates/blocks/ItemInfo.
- i guess you need drupal's userId. you can get it via drupal's API / session. (don't know how, would have to google)
- you can use php in g2's .tpl files within {php}echo "moo";{/php} tags.
you could also put the php into your g2 theme and assign the data you need to render to template vars and use the template vars in the ItemInfo.tpl file.

Many Thanks valiant and profix898,
I've tried the solutions you have suggested here. But i could not access the theme variables as suggested in http://drupal.org/node/155195. i think im missing something. should i declare goblal $theme or something similar in .tpl file to access $theme.drupaluser var.
thanks for your help guys,

gallos, did you ever solve this one? It's the same thing I am loking to do, both linked from owner names, but also from comment authors where they are logged in members. Thanks, James
