Please tell me which files and in which structure they should be created so that a plugin with the *.cbplugin extension can be installed through the code::blocks.
Example:


--- Code: ---myPlugin_v1.0.0.cbplugin
  | - manifest.xml
  | - my_plugin.dll
  | - myPlugin_v1.0.0.zip
  | - ...

--- End code ---

The *.cbplugin needs a .zip file containing the manifest.
Along with the .zip file, *.cbplugin needs the .dll file.
So it looks like:
*.cbPlugin
|- myPlugin.zip
     |- myManifest.xml
|- myPlugin.dll

.cbplugin is actually a .zip file renamed to cbplugin.
You can also include resources within the internal myPlugin.zip file along with the .xml manifest file.
Like images that can be loaded by the .dll

Of course, I accidentally came across the wiki, but I don't know about you, but everything is so confusing and there is a lot of text, that I think it could all be shown on one screenshot with arrows, what comes from where and where.  ;)
