Comment (by alexr):
I think this is a combination of issues.
1) The user wants to use a django admin widget outside of the admin. Since
the widgets don't include all of the media that they need, he is needing
to add some extra js and css to the media definition.

in-custom-form/719583#719583
2) Adding the js and css to the form media class isn't working because the
media from the fields is added before the media from the form.
The solution is to add the js and css to the template before the form, but
that is really a hack to work around the fact that he can't define media
in his class to do what he needs. He could also subclass the admin widgets
and add the required media to the fields.
Solutions:
1) Make the admin widgets contain all the media they need within their own
media definition.
2) Change the admonition on this page to give a better explanation of some
of the pitfalls of using admin widgets.

3) Document the order that media is combined. (Fields, in field order,
then form media added.)
