javascript - Get long term access token for Facebook page

Question

I'm using Jquery Facebook Wall to retrieve the latest status of a Facebook page and show it in a website.

(function($) {
    $(document).ready(function(){
        $('#facebook_wall').facebook_wall({
            id: '560124337XXXXX',
            access_token: 'CXGXhXZA7Wg2XXDcTi7WmX1wp71u5fNXXa9XXX3LmXXx',
            limit: 1
        });
    });
})(jQuery);

// ...

When I use FB Graph API Explorer to get the access token of the page, I get one that expire in only 60 minutes. Is there a way to get a long duration access token? Or to generate a new one each time a user connect to the website page?

PHP is not allowed since the website isn't hosted in an Apache server. I'm seeking a client-side solution. Any help will be highly appreciated.

Update : According to my researches, I assume that getting a token that doesn't expire in one month and that have Manage Pages permission (the only permission that grant reading a page feeds), require the creation of a Facebook app that include "Facebook login" and then waiting for the "Review Process" approval.

I don't have any intention to make people login since it's a static website. Is there a possibility to get a static access token that doesn't expire in an hour and that have the permission of "reading page's feed", without creating the app, adding a privacy policy page URL for it, waiting for the review process, making people login... And without resorting to server-side options?

How to generate different Tokens (App Token, User Token, Page Token, Extended User Token, Extended Page Token) is explained very well in the docs:

• https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/access-tokens

Here′s another link if that is not enough:

• http://www.devils-heaven.com/facebook-access-tokens/

As CBroe commented, you don′t need extended Tokens client-side. For getting the feed of a Page, an App Token is good enough - but you should NEVER expose your App Secret on the client. It is called Secret for a reason. And i hope you′re not trying to use static Token like that for every user. Whatever Token you are using, don′t expose it to any other users.

You could also just use the Page Plugin: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/page-plugin (again, thanx to CBroe for pointing out that additional solution).
