From Collections not propagating media

[nicomarg]

Django allows the user to attach additional css/js resources to a form or a widget.
Currently, FormCollections can have a Media class to provide additional resources for themselves to use, however they don't collect the media defined in their forms (and these forms' fields by extension).

I did this not-so-dirty fix in my project (based on the media method of the django Form class), which if I understand the codebase correctly would account for nested collections if this was the media property of the FormCollection class :

@property
def media(self):
    """Return all media for forms in this collection"""
    media = Media()
    for form in self.declared_holders.values():
        media += form.media
    return media

This allows to only use {{ form_collection.media }} in the template, and not search for the collection's sub forms explicitly.

In my projects, I actually always attempt to use the built-in or pilfered styles. But I get your point, this actually is something very useful. In my opinion however, this would be a valid use-case for a singleton available by the rendering view.

I'll need to have a deeper look, but I will find a solution. Thanks for the hint.
