Allow Sections to be Hidden from Entries Section Sidebar

[kylecotter]

Usage: when creating sections that are purely for "component" entries - e.g for use primary with the new slide-out UI as a related entry within an entry, it'd be great to be able to hide those from the main sections list.

e.g.

I imagine you could accomplish this pretty trivially via EVENT_REGISTER_SOURCES. (Feel free to ping me if you'd like help with it!)

Already possible as of 4.0 :)

From the “Customize…” modal, you can disable each of the native sources now. And headings will only be visible if they are followed by at least one visible source.

@brandonkelly following up on this one, is it intentional that when a native source is disabled from that Customize modal for Element Indexes that you also can't create entries in that section from a Related Entries Fieldtype modal?

I can see that being useful in some contexts, but also not in others (e.g. the "Component" section philosophy this isn't helpful) .

[brandonkelly]

@kylecotter That’s probably happening because there’s no available sources for the modal, which prevents the embedded element index from fully initializing, since it relies on having at least once source.

	// No source, no party.
	if ($sources.length === 0) {
	return false;
	}

Geez, thanks @brandonkelly. Was staring right at it. Not sure why Enabled didn't register for me. Thanks!
