Advanced usage

If you don't want to use EXT:cron_context/Configuration/ you can customize your own loading in config/system/additional.php

<?php
defined('TYPO3') || die('Access denied.');

// Prevent double loading
if (defined('CRON_TYPO3_ADDITIONALCONFIGURATION')) {
    return;
}

require_once __DIR__ . '/ContextLoader.php';

$confLoader = new \Cron\CronContext\ContextLoader();
$confLoader
        // Add project context configuration
    ->addContextConfiguration(\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Core\Environment::getConfigPath() . '/system/additional')
        // Add local configuration
    ->addConfiguration(\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Core\Environment::getConfigPath() . '/system/additional/local.php')
        // Load configuration files (maybe cached)
    ->loadConfiguration()
        // Add context name to sitename (if in development context)
    ->appendContextNameToSitename();
unset($confLoader);
