QUESTION need directory path as part of url

[craiga]

Wondering if there is a way to have the folder/directory path within the url.

have this:

 eg:  https://mysite.com/pagename  

Want this:

 eg:  https://mysite.com/parent/pagename    

Have been asked to include this but am not sure GS can as the cms points to individual pages and outputs the page through index.php or fancy urls

Any help would be brilliant
