No there isn't :)
Some notes on the wiki and there is a sticky topic on the top of this subforum.

The directory you're looking for is ~/.codeblocks/share/...

Jenna:
Doing what Pecan told you as second possibility is the normal way:

--- Quote from: Pecan on May 28, 2011, 03:06:12 pm ---OR:

You can use Menu>Plugins>Manage plugins>Install new

then navigate to the .cbplugin file and click on it.

Okay thank you.   Now I have:
~/.codeblocks/share/codeblocks/HelloWorld.zip
~/.codeblocks/share/codeblocks/plugins/HelloWorld.so

meaning the plugin has been installed in its expected location.

How can I make HelloWorld plugin show up in Menu-->Plugins list, or more importantly, make it visible in the Contrib widgets toolbar pallette?

hibbity:
Gave up on the HelloWorld plugin, at least for now.

Compiled wxthings (wxscustombutton)

/usr/bin/codeblocks --debug-log

-------------- Build: default in CustomButton ---------------
Compiling: wxscustombutton.cpp
Linking dynamic library: custombutton.so
Output size is 458.84 KB
Running target post-build steps
zip -j9 custombutton.zip manifest.xml

zip -j9 custombutton.cbplugin custombutton.so custombutton.zip

updating: custombutton.zip
 (deflated 12%)
Process terminated with status 0 (0 minutes, 1 seconds)
0 errors, 0 warnings

Then, with Menu-->Plugins-->Manage plugins-->Install new
installed the plugin.  But with error message, see attached image file.

There were no command line messages printed to accompany this failed install.
So I don't know why it failed.

Most of the time the library on linux should be called libsomething.so, so try to add the lib prefix to the name.
Also you can try to use the "-z defs" linker option.
