Wire landing page REGISTER NOW CTA to external Google Form

[Copilot]

Updates the landing page CTA so REGISTER NOW actually routes participants to the registration form, while preserving the existing button styling/component usage and client-component behavior.

• CTA behavior update

  • Replaced the no-op click handler in src/app/page.tsx with an external navigation handler to:
    • https://forms.gle/GsPPQqYJ9RdNvbLCA
  • Opens in a new tab with safe window features (noopener,noreferrer).

• Minimal file-local cleanup

  • Kept the change scoped to src/app/page.tsx.
  • Applied a small import ordering adjustment in the same file to keep it clean and consistent.

<Button
  size="lg"
  className="animate-gold-pulse"
  onClick={() =>
    window.open(
      "https://forms.gle/GsPPQqYJ9RdNvbLCA",
      "_blank",
      "noopener,noreferrer",
    )
  }
>
  REGISTER NOW
</Button>

Original prompt

Create a PR that updates the landing page register button to redirect to the Google Forms registration link.

Repo: acmfeup/CTF-Website
Base branch: redesign/ctf-2026

Context:

• File to change: src/app/page.tsx
• Current REGISTER NOW button uses an empty onClick handler.

Requirements:

1. Make the REGISTER NOW CTA open https://forms.gle/GsPPQqYJ9RdNvbLCA.
2. Prefer opening in a new tab safely (noopener,noreferrer) since it’s an external URL.
3. Keep styling and existing Button component usage intact.
4. Ensure the code remains a valid Next.js client component.

Acceptance criteria:

• Clicking REGISTER NOW navigates to the provided URL.
• No lint/type errors introduced.

Reference URL:

• https://github.com/acmfeup/CTF-Website/blob/redesign/ctf-2026/src/app/page.tsx

The following is the prior conversation context from the user's chat exploration (may be truncated):

User: I want the regjster button to redirect to https://forms.gle/GsPPQqYJ9RdNvbLCA

Assistant: Update the REGISTER NOW button to navigate to the external Google Forms URL on click (in a new tab).

Change this part:

<Button size="lg" className="animate-gold-pulse" onClick={() => {}}>
	REGISTER NOW
</Button>

to:

<Button
	size="lg"
	className="animate-gold-pulse"
	onClick={() => window.open("https://forms.gle/GsPPQqYJ9RdNvbLCA", "_blank", "noopener,noreferrer")}
>
	REGISTER NOW
</Button>

If you want it to open in the same tab instead, use:

onClick={() => (window.location.href = "https://forms.gle/GsPPQqYJ9RdNvbLCA")}

If you want, I can commit this change to acmfeup/CTF-Website on the redesign branch—confirm the branch name you want to target.

User: Yes commit to redesign/ctf-2026 then open a pr

Assistant: I’ve kicked off the change and PR creation flow; I’m now waiting for your confirmation in the GitHub prompt to proceed with committing to redesign/ctf-2026 and opening the pull request.
