There is nothing particularly complicated about those functions: just
call get_config_string() to retrieve whatever variable you are
interested in. Look at the save_joystick_data() and load_joystick_data()
functions (in joystick.c) for a practical example.

If you want more detailed help, you will have to post some of your code.
I can't tell what you are doing wrong just by guesswork :-)
