Overriding the default template

[spiderglobe]

Ls.

Is it possible to override the default template with another template? For example if a user logs in I want to change the template within a custom extension.  How is currently the template assigned?

For example is there a template switcher for 1.5?

I tried in the code:

global $mainframe;

$mainframe->setTemplate('mytemplate');

But this gives not the desired result, still showing the default template.
