Editing an article from frontend - creation date error was created by Olinad

When I edit an article from the frontend its creation date gets changed to the moment I edited it... So editing an article written a month ago will result in it appearing in the recent articles. I'll try scanning the code to see if I can find what's wrong while I wait for you to help

Code:

// Are we saving from an item edit?
			// This code comes directly from the com_content

			$item->created_by 	= $item->created_by ? $item->created_by : $user->get('id');

			if ($item->created && strlen(trim( $item->created )) <= 10) {
				$item->created 	.= ' 00:00:00';
			}

			$date =& JFactory::getDate($item->created, $tzoffset);
			$item->created = $date->toMySQL();

I guess I found what's wrong

/components/com_flexicontent/models/items.php, line 795

I changed

Code:

$item->created = $date->toMySQL();

Code:

$item->modified = $date->toMySQL();

on line 805 of the file I wrote about in the previous post and now every seems to work fine

Tell me if my correction creates any other bug, and if you're going to correct this in the stable package

No, this is not a solution: when posting a new article, the creation date will be set somewhere in 1999 -.-' So there should be something that understands if a creation date has been set and if so leaves it as is... I'll look into it tomorrow as I'm too tired now
