Proposal: hide explore menu

[yusefmaali]

In some situations, the explore page may not be needed.

It should be very useful to have a config settings to hide at all the explore menu entry.
Something very similar to (for example) "DISABLE_REGISTRATION", we may have a "DISABLE_EXPLORE_MENU".

Thank you!

Are you aware of the custom templates feature ? With that you could easily hide the menu (but the page would still be available by having a direct URL).

This sounds pretty interesting.
Can you give some hints to look for more details?

Uhm, I see the documentation is scarce: https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/customizing-gitea/ It would be great if you could help improving it: https://github.com/go-gitea/docs/blob/master/content/doc/advanced/customizing-gitea.en-us.md Basically you copy any template from the `templates/` directory into the `custom/templates/` directory, and modify as you see fit. For your case it'd be the `templates/base/head.tmpl` to be copied and modified. Looking forward for your contribution to add a template section to the documentation ! :)

sure!

I need to pass through a Golang tutorial, then I will contribute for sure!

I surely think it's worth passing the Golang tutorial, but will note you don't need Golang expertise to provide *documentation* patches (it's just text, markdown if you wish)

[yusefmaali]

Of course, you're right. I thought I needed to run gitea from its sources. I'm seeing the compiled version is enough.

This would be a needed feature. User case: Non admin users should not be able to see other users and other repositories. Not sure, but hiding the explore page (also sub pages) could solve that.

[lafriks]

@Spenhouet just hiding menu won't solve that. Access should be controlled also when opening repository page and for that there is private repository setting. If it is set other users won't be able to see that repository

Was this added? Seems like a sensible feature to have.
