I have created a component and need to get a constant value in the component administrator and list the item according to it. I have tried different ways to get the constant value in the 'display()' function in 'view.html.php'. I am expecting the value will be available in the default.php with $this.

I have defined the constant in the configuration.php file, A URL is supposed to define.

define('CONSTANTVALUE', 'the URL string');

in the display() function,

 $config = JFactory::getConfig();
 $constantvalue = $config->get('CONSTANTVALUE');
 $this->constantvalue=  $constantvalue;

Seems this is not working.

Then, I have tried

JFactory::getApplication()->get('CONSTANTVALUE');

That also not working.

I have referred to this thread, Joomla 3 - How to get value from configuration file?

How can I get the constant from configuration to component view file?
