template="newproducts/newproducts_autoscrolling.phtml" }}


- For displaying with toolbar:
  + Advance Toolbar with ajax
{{block type="newproducts/newproductstoolbar" name="newproducts_toolbar"
template="newproducts/newproducts_toolbar.phtml" }}
 
  +Simple Toolbar
{{block type="newproducts/newproductstoolbar" name="newproducts_simpletoolbar"
template="newproducts/newproducts_simpletoolbar.phtml" }}

 
- For displaying vertical autoscrolling
{{block type="newproducts/newproducts" show_total="6" name="newproducts_autosidebar"

{{block type="newproducts/newproducts" show_total="6" name="newproducts_staticsidebar"
template="newproducts/newproducts_staticsidebar.phtml" }}

 
5.2. Adding the new products by using xml layout page.
If you want to display in the left or right side bar or any where and apply for every pages, please use this way.
Example:
- For display on the right side bar
 <block type="newproducts/newproducts" name="newproducts_autosidebar" template="newproducts/newproducts_autosidebar.phtml">
     <action method="setShowTotal"><show_total>6</show_total></action>
  </block>

and side right bar. This Just is example, you can call any block in any where in xml layout


Note that:
