you need to edit xoops_root/language/english/global.php
these lines:
define("_DATESTRING","jS M Y G:i:s");
define("_MEDIUMDATESTRING","d/m/y H:i");
define("_SHORTDATESTRING","j/n/Y");
however this would affect the site globally.. ie even the forum would not show time anymore..
i'm not sure if it can be done through the template, but if you look for anything in the news module files that refers to date as datestring or mediumdatestring, then you could edit the files in the news module to refer to shortdatestring instead as this definition does not include the time..
