Please remember I am trying to help. Not atacking you.

First, i dont LIKE to move Robots.txt to the site root. I do it because Joomla Developers says i MUST do it. (see the message above). Also, this is a Google Support MUST HAVE.https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/6078399?hl=es&ref_topic=6061961


So, JSITEMAP is looking for the robots.txt file in a wrong folder (the joomla installation folder), instead of looking for it in the Site Root (is where a the robots.txt must be)

I think that at least to solve this BUG, you could change this message:

"Error: File robots.txt not found on your server, please check your file system"

To this one:

"Error: File robots.txt not found on your joomla folder installation"

Or maybe should be better if the component could check if the robots.txt exists in the site root (just check it, nor edit it). And show a message like:

"Error: File robots.txt found on your site root. Jsitemap can only edit it if robots.txt is in your joomla folder installation"


PD: Remember, just trying to improve the Jsitemap.
