Your block should extend from product list I believe.

<?php // app/code/local/Compx/Brandproducts/Block/Recentproducts.php class Compx_Brandproducts_Block_Brandproducts extends Mage_Catalog_Block_Product_List{ //extends Mage_Core_Block_Template { public function getBrandProducts() { // call model to fetch data $arr_products = array(); $products = Mage::getModel("brandproducts/brandproducts")->getBrandProducts(); foreach ($products as $product) { $arr_products[] = array( 'id' => $product­>getId(), 'name' => $product->getName(), 'url' => $product->getProductUrl(), ); } return $arr_products; } } ?> 

Your block should extend from product list I believe.

<?php // app/code/local/Compx/Brandproducts/Block/Recentproducts.php class Compx_Brandproducts_Block_Brandproducts extends Mage_Catalog_Block_Product_List{ //extends Mage_Core_Block_Template { public function getBrandProducts() { // call model to fetch data $arr_products = array(); $products = Mage::getModel("brandproducts/brandproducts")->getBrandProducts(); foreach ($products as $product) { $arr_products[] = array( 'id' => $product­>getId(), 'name' => $product->getName(), 'url' => $product->getProductUrl(), ); } return $arr_products; } } ?> 

And your model file

<?php // app/code/local/Compx/Brandproducts/Model/Brandproducts.php class Compx_Brandproducts_Model_Brandproducts extends Mage_Catalog_Model_Abstract{ //extends Mage_Core_Model_Abstract { public function getBrandProducts() { $products = Mage::getModel("catalog/product")->getCollection(); $products->addAttributeToSelect('*') //->setOrder('entity_id', 'DESC') ->setPageSize(5); return $products; } } ?>
