🌟External Event Link / "Redirect to External URL" Option

[reyemb]

Problem:

We are a company that hosts many events directly, for which hi.events is a perfect fit for handling our registrations. However, we also list events hosted by external partners (acting as a directory/advertisement).

Currently, there is no way to handle these external events natively.

The "Get Tickets" button always attempts to open the internal checkout modal.

We cannot set the main Call-to-Action (CTA) to redirect users to a partner's registration page (e.g., Luma, Eventbrite, or a partner website).

Putting the link in the description is a workaround, but it causes user friction and confusion if the "Get Tickets" button remains visible.

Solution:

New Event Setting: Add an optional field in the Event Creation/Edit page for External Registration URL.

Frontend Behavior:

If this field is populated:

The main "Get Tickets" / "Register" button should change its behavior. Instead of opening the checkout modal, it should simply redirect the user to the provided URL (ideally in a new tab).

The button text could optionally be customizable (e.g., "Visit Website" or "Register Externally").

Ticket inventory logic should be bypassed or hidden for this event type.

If this field is empty:

The system behaves exactly as it does now (internal registration).

Alternative:

Custom Code (Forking): We considered modifying the source code to add this, but since we want to remain on the official update path and avoid maintenance debt, a native feature would be much preferred.

Thank you in advance for any reply
