Hey all, Long story short, I've finally got this working. It took way too much time, but I've written it up in case anyone else ever has trouble with this plugin:
http://www.jonathansibley.com/cakephp/tutorial-setting-up-the-favorites-plugin-for-cakephp/ I still have no idea what to do with those Configure::write() statements, but I've instead used a workaround. Thanks to anyone who took the time to read this and put thought into finding a solution (even though it seems no one has posted)!
