even though filtered values are not displayed but they have taken the space of a page
eg. I have total 40 records, and 10 records per page(4 pages). I have put a filter by the value of a identifiar. After filtering i got 20 records but instead of 2 pages i got 4 pages 1 page - 3 2 page - 5 3 page - 84th page - 4

Hi suda,
It's hard to understand what your problem is due to poor English. Could you please try to explain better?

I think I understand.. After fetching 40 items from database, he filters out 20 of them while looping over them in template, leaving 20 to display. But because the switch is applied when displaying the content, and not when fetching, the pages won't fill up with 10 items on each. Thus meaning that the 20 items still gets displayed over 4 pages:
1 page - 3 (items) 2 page - 5 (items) 3 page - 8 (items) 4th page - 4 (items)
I don't have any good sollutions to it, though.. ;P

What you need to do is filter in the fetch. Look around the docs and forum for attribute_filter, there should be plenty of examples you can use :)
