If you custom function you did add atts variable as a parameter and pass it from within the template to you custom function, correct? Like this:

custom_family_function( $atts, $entry )

Also, they are not shortcode codes, they are array key indexes. The $atts variable is an associative array.

How about posting you code up on pastbin or creating a private gist to share?
